Good hotel in upgrade mode
Two night business stay. This hotel has been converted to a Doubltree from long time Hilton location. The hotel has a display in the lobby of new carpet, drapes etc that are to be used in reno. I did not see any reno going on. Hotel is across street from Hobby airport many rooms look directly on to runway but noise is not noticable. Shuttle service is amazingly efficient thanks to Franklin. At midnight shuttle showed up with in 3 minutes of call -- waiting at designated area. Breakfast buffet is excellent, parking is easy and free. Charge for internet. Staff is friendly and effecicient. Rooms are a little dated but very clean. There are a couple of interesting looking local restaurants across from the hotel parking lot which I did not get a chance to sample, deli, Texas BBQ and an interesting cocktail/rest. Taco Bell adjacent to the property other wise you need a car. Would stay here again
