Room was clean, service was great, and price was unbeatable for the quality of the room. Location was good, but after arriving found out was not as convenient to the venue as expected. Location was near the Galleria, and good restaurants were in easy drive. Parking was easy, if a little expensive.

We had a few days in Houston late September early October, primarily to visit the Johnson Space Centre. This hotel was fabulous - the room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful, and the small shop in the foyer was handy. Bar in the foyer was a great place to relax after a long day out and about. Well located to get to the Galleria for shopping, and the hotel shuttle extremely useful to get around locally in Houston's heat. If we return to Houston, this is where we will stay.
