I stayed here with several friends to celebrate birthdays, and the best part of the hotel is definitely the convenient location. If you are going out downtown, all the bars and restaurants are literally steps away. The decor is also very appealing. The elevators are extremely small, but that's a small, easily overlooked inconvenience. Pretty much the only bad part of our experience was that one of the beds was not made when we checked in, and the front desk told us it was probably just turn down service... but for only one of the beds, and at 4 PM??

I also stayed at the Hotel Icon while taking the Bar exam - although the Bar exam was horrible, this hotel was fantastic. Beds were comfortable, the room stayed cool, room service was prompt, the front desk staff were so friendly and understanding, the bar downstairs is really nice, and there is fast and free internet service! You really couldn't ask for more. For me, the best quality is the beautiful bathroom and fabulous Molton Brown bath products.

I stayed 3 nights at Hotel Icon so I wouldn't have to drive while taking the Texas Bar Exam at George R. Brown. The rooms were immaculate, the bathrooms were very nice, and the bar downstairs was impressive. The customer service was top notch and all of the employees were very friendly and professional. We used the hotel's car service to get to the convention center every morning. The drivers were always punctual, friendly, and understanding of our need to get to our destination quickly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming into Houston, either on business or leisure.
