The Pool at Hotel Derek Houston Galleria

"Loyalists "love the location" of this modern choice near the Galleria, insisting it's a "best-kept secret" with a "great" crew and "well-kept rooms" done up in bold colors and patterns; "disappointed" detractors bemoan "lots of traffic noise" plus "loud music" from the "club atmosphere" in the lobby bar, but with a terrace pool and an on-site restaurant to sweeten the deal, the majority concludes it's "very nice overall"

"Trendy interiors include a modern restaurant and a bar serving tasty Texan fare as well as craft beer, and there's a small outdoor pool and a fitness center"

"The bar of the same name features craft beer and a pair of pool tables for lively evening socializing"

"The biggest disappointment here is the puny pool"

"There’s a pool table, too, perfect for schmoozing with other guests when the café transforms into a craft-beer pop-up in the evening"
