East Houston Honeymoon Vacations

It was a great place to stay!

Very clean. Fantastic service

My wife and I had an incredible weekend!

Great atmoshere and staff in the heart of Houston. We will be returning.

Staff went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Would not hesitate to rebook when i,m in the area

The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Especially the car service people. The location is perfect if you are visiting Rice University. I have now stayed at this hotel twice. The only issue is the hotel is a a little tired. One elevator was not working. Water leaking on bathroom floor. Iron board old and not stable.

While The Laura is a beautiful hotel with modern, comfortable rooms, several aspects of our stay fell short of expectations, particularly when it comes to hospitality and attention to detail. There seems to be very little consideration for the guest experience. Housekeeping arrived at inconsistent times, often cleaning our room toward the evening. Yet, on the morning of our checkout, someone knocked on our door at 8:30 a.m., which felt particularly inconsiderate. The bathroom features a beautiful bathtub, but there are no bath products or amenities provided to actually enjoy it. There were also no bathrobes in the room, and while robes were brought up upon request, they were subsequently removed by housekeeping and never replaced. The pool is another disappointment. Despite being advertised as open year-round, it is not heated, making it practically unusable in cooler weather. The poolside loungers are also worn and in need of replacement. Perhaps most disappointing was the lack of warmth from the staff. Throughout our stay, we rarely encountered anyone who greeted us, acknowledged our presence, or made us feel particularly welcome. Ultimately, The Laura delivers on aesthetics, cleanliness, and comfort, but falls short on the very things that distinguish a genuinely upscale hotel: thoughtful service, attention to detail, and a sense of hospitality. It’s a beautiful property, but the guest experience simply doesn’t match its appearance or price point.
