Empire Inn Cypress

"I was looking for a room for the night and on a tight budget. I found this motel has AAA approval, so I decided to rent a room. I was pleasantly surprised staying here. Really surprised. For the price I wasn't expecting much, maybe 2 star, but I was wrong. The room I was assigned was clean, updated, comfortable & quiet. The bed wasn't Comfort Inn quality but it was comfortable enough (on the firm side) & the pillows were soft. The nightstands each had extension cords, multi plugs & USB ports, in case you have multiple products to charge. The bathroom had been recently updated. I really liked the rainfall showerhead & loved the oversized towels. Usually you get Motel 6 quality towels at this price point. They offer Neutrogena products for shampoo, conditioner & lotion. There's a travel sized hairdryer that also had a built-in nightlight. Not everything was great though. The floor definitely could've been swept; it's tile/laminate instead of carpeting. There was only 1 hanger. An iron but, oddly, NO ironing board. No tissues were in my room either. A plastic laundry bag would've been nice for dirty clothes. But for the price it was absolutely a step up from a Motel 6 or Super 8. I'd recommend staying. I posted many pics if you check photos."

"I would like to say first of all the location and price is great, however the staff or one elderly man who works in the front is extremely rude. On 2 occasions I had a very bad experience here. I would not recommend to anyone to stay at this place."

"Outstanding surprise! just north west of Houston off Hwy 290. 10 foot ceilings, 12 feet wide! Hot water, nice tub, clean big king bed. Iron, hairdryer, nice TV with good cable channels. Clean and roomy. Very impressive! My Sunday night king price: $79 all in. Empire Inn."

"We discovered roaches in our room when returning in the middle of the night. There were roaches in the drawers and the refrigerator. We were offered another room, but it has the same problem. The man at the hotel stated it was too hot to do anything about the issue and that he would provide us with a refund. We decided to switch hotels in the middle of the night and learned a few days later the hotel only refunded 50 percent of our money. The "person in charge" has yet to return my call or respond to my email. The experience was simply disappointing."

"Very clean and very roomy rooms with a separate lounge area with coffee table. Coin-op laundry machines. Rooms and laundry accessible with card keys. Very convenient, located 2 block from HCA hospital, next door to a nail place.. pedicure, manicure and waxing available. All the ladies were great. Bed was awesome, mattress was virtually motionless, so you wouldn't wake your companion getting up middle of night for bathroom, drink or snack. Booking.com gives a 10% discount. Staff was very nice, family run operation. Located at 290, 2 blocks west on Huffmeister. Retail corridor down Highway 6 about 5min away. We really enjoyed the fact there was no blatant criminal activity we had to endure. All in all a great experience."
