I had a wonderful stay at The Lancaster, where the staff made me feel incredibly welcomed with their genuine hospitality. The luxurious breakfast variety surpassed my expectations, and the historic charm of the hotel combined with modern renovations added to its appeal. However, the noise from the cleaning staff early in the morning was a bit disruptive, and the room service menu could use more variety. Overall, it's a fantastic option in Houston's theatre district.

The Lancaster Hotel exceeded my expectations with its stunning renovations and warm hospitality. The breakfast spread was impressive, and I loved the complimentary snacks in the room. While the location is great for downtown activities, it does feel a bit limited nearby. Overall, my stay was delightful, though I wish there were more facilities like a pool to enhance the experience.
