Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Many who have stayed here say it is the best hotel in Houston. Highly praised were the staff and reasonable rates. Businessmen appreciated the free shuttle to and from the convention center particularly during the hot summer weather. There have been complaints that some of the facilities and accommodation are starting to look a little tired. But those comments will soon vanish. The hotel is due for a major refit in early 2008.
