(Reddit) I stay here frequently when on business.
Hotel was booked solid and my colleague managed to score a room unplanned.
We all had normal zaza style rooms (swank) and he ended up in this goth dungeon closet.
Seriously- the room had a chain holding the bed to wall, pictures of skulls and a creepy, incongruous portrait of an old man. Room was about 1/3 the normal size with the furniture blocking part of the TV, bed and window.
We asked about it at the front desk and the clerk looked it up and said ” that room isn’t supposed to be rented.’ and immediately moved him.
Anyone know whats up with this room?

Edit to add the follow up from the Houston Press. Link.
Now I have to go and see if I can make reservations in the yacht room.
Edit 2: Chronicle emailed and I put them in touch with my friend who stayed in this room. Link. His name isn’t max but that isn’t the point of the story. I still don’t understand why these rooms aren’t on the website (when all the other themed rooms are and this is a hotel – meaning they want to rent rooms).
Edit 3: This thread has been fun. I’m not much for conspiracy theories and don’t really buy all the skull and bones stuff. I just wanted to know what was up with the room and figured someone on here might know a bit.
lots of the posts are asking questions about the pictures – they were taken months ago and no staging was involved. I’m not the photographer, just a curious Houston traveler usually in town for work with a group – one of whom happened to get this room and had the forethought to take photos.
And to the very new redditor offering me a bounty to delete this thread – I’ll totally do it because cash is cash. But i don’t want to die either. So let’s do this publicly – I’m posting your message you sent me. And we can meet at the Monarch bar next week – I’ll be in town on Monday & will update this thread when I get to Monarch so we can meet. screencap of offer
