 On a business trip to Houston. We stayed at the Westin Oaks in
the Galleria. We found everything to be nice, but in our estimation no Biscuit Hill.
So we decided to let you compare for yourself. Below is a comparison about
the room only, not the fact the Westin is in the heart of town and we are in the country
on a beautiful crystal blue lake surrounded by a forest of trees. We wanted to be
objective, and do apples to apples only. A room to room comparison. Also I didn't
have a tape measure, so I did an approximation with my sock feet + inches on both rooms to
be fair.

Please also note that we are famous for our breakfast spread, and no one goes
away hungry.
Many hotels & motels are now charging required "add-on" fees such as in-room
coffee fee, amenity fee ranging from $4-$20 p/day, package delivery fee,
housekeeping fee, turndown service fee, in-room iron fee, and it goes
on. There are no "hidden" add-on fees at Biscuit Hill. |
