Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
The location in the center of the Houston Medical Center is the major attraction of this hotel. It is so much part of the center that several clients commented that the hotel lobby has a clinical ambience. Many former clients said they received helpful advice from an attentive and efficient team of employees. Couples said it was a quieter location for a weekend getaway but said there were better hotels in the city if you come here for sightseeing. Other good points were the clean, well-decorated rooms with comfortable beds, and wireless Internet access. Read our customer reviews?
