Convenient (but boring) location and friendly staff
I come to Houston often and usually stay near the medical center. I decided to switch it up this time after some recommendations from Houston colleagues. While this is a convenient location...its a bit like a strip mall. The restaurants around it are okay and the Galleria is fun (if you like malls). Overall, I think I'll stay near the medical center which has a much more "downtown" feel. On the plus side, the staff here were extremely nice and accomodating and the rooms were clean and maintained. I did find the beds a bit too squishy, but I think that may just be my pickiness.
