Awful Experience. DO NOT MOVE IN

The Air Conditioning is a joke and it's constantly breaking down (entire building, not just my unit). The AC is also not able to keep the humidity at a reasonable level which is why the building smells like mold (and animal urine, but that's aā€¦Ā See More >

                            We are very sorry to hear about your constant toilet backing up as we do not have any reports of repeat toilet back ups in any of our units. We would love to hear more about this from you and if you are unstopping this on your own? The stickers were placed on all new washer and dryers in order to document our inventory that took place a year ago and we do apologize for that inconvenience. Please feel free to contact us to help us get to the bottom of this 1 star review so that we can hopefully cure up any reason that you have for being unhappy living in our community.

We would be happy to meet with you to discuss your unhappiness with our community to see how we can turn that around. Please feel free to call us at 713-864-1090. Best Regards,Team Memorial Towers

In response to your comments, note the air-conditioning system that you speak of was completely renovated with major replacements under the new ownership. Not sure when you lived here, but the system is working fine and keeping us all cool. We have a company that also performs routine maintenance checks on it to make sure it is all working up to par. We do understand in the past, that was not always the case. You were spot on about the views at Memorial Towers and the people that live here are incredible. We really love our little community and we think it is a quaint jewel in an ideal location. If you are ever in the neighborhood again, we would love for you to stop by and see our transformation.

As explained when you initially moved in and according to the lease agreement that you signed, the services that are billed to you are not just electric, but also include water/sewer, gas and valet trash.

                                          Memorial Towers is one of Houston's hidden gems! Great facility with great amenities with a stellar management and maintenance. I previously lived here before and moved back into the building a couple of years ago while they began renovation. With that being said the upgradesā€¦Ā See More >

                                            This place is depressing. Don't be fooled by the lobby and their fancy artwork. If you have the means, look elsewhere. The blonde girl who strolls around barefoot in the lobby asking for cigarettes is annoying. I'm tired of coming home to that. Please comeā€¦Ā See More >

                                              Resident, We are really sad that we have only earned a one star rating from you. We haven't heard from you in regards to your complaints so we are very confused as to these issues which have not been addressed with us. Our hall carpets are scheduled on a cleaning routine throughout the year and are cleaned as needed in between scheduled cleanings. What you are saying is very contrary to what our current residents have had to say about us and the renovations being done here. Further, our building has been going through an interior and exterior renovation since 2015 after our new ownership and our parking lot will be part of these renovations here at Memorial Towers. Our trash chutes are serviced on a daily basis and maintained by our porter service team. We welcome you to come in a discuss your individual case with us so we can see if we can be of assistance. Again, we are more than willing to help you, but are very limited in doing so without contact information. Please come visit us in the office.

                                                We are so sorry you are unhappy and would like the opportunity to rectify any existing issues. We currently do not have any existing residents with reports of mold as you are claiming. While the building is 50 years young, it had a complete interior and exterior renovation. All mechanical systems have either been replaced or refurbished and are maintained by a professional company. In regards to the mold blog in 2008 the building was under different ownership and management at that time and we can't speak to that other than say the building has been renovated inside and out and under new ownership since 2015. If you have concerns about your apartment that you have not addressed with us personally, we would love the opportunity to meet with you and find resolution for any issue you are having. It is our goal to make sure our residents are happy.
