One of my favorite parts of town. Still feels like old-school Houston. Apparently the theater is coming back! Can’t wait for that plenty of other shopping in the area. parking is tough in some spots, but that’s to be expected in older parts of Houston. Mornings can be laid back, and afternoons can be congested, but overall very chill experience. Not a high pressure area with too many cars and too many people. Evenings are very calm, and the restaurants are usually busy. Love the whole area in general.

It’s nice to still have 24 hour options in this part of town. I sometimes stay around the corner when I’m in the city. It’s not an incredible place, but it’s not bad either. The service is nice enough, efficient, and the food is decent. I wouldn’t be too concerned with the reviews when there’s not very many choices at 4am nearby.

Shady shopping center. Never feel comfortable there, and always watch your back on this corner. Even with all the crazy activity, especially at night, the property owners never seem to care. Grotto’s is a nice spot. The places in the middle are cool. The CVS is an absolute garbage location, and CVS should be ashamed they let this place exist the way it does. The people working there do their best, but they’re fighting an uphill battle.

Great 24 hour option in the area. You can always go to 7-Eleven, but this is closer to most hotels in the area, and a much better experience if you’re not from New York. Sure they can be kind of obnoxious behind the counter, but they’re cool people once you get to know them. Food is alright. Sandwiches are on point.
