Oh my goodness, we love Hotel Effie. My husband are empty nesters, and have taken an after-Christmas break for two years now. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and we love the closeness to Baytowne Wharf. This year we had a couple’s massage that was perfect: deep tissue for him and hot stones for me. Again, the experience and facilities were great, with everything we needed for a hot shower, then off to breakfast! I feel pampered when we stay at Hotel Effie.

I used to love Hotel Effie under the previous ownership because the hotel used to offer special welcome cookies and whatnot. It felt for inviting, now it legit just feels like a business. I don’t like the fact that the rooms have no microwave which I feel like could be rather essential.
