Average property - great service
I stayed at the downtown Houston Crowne Plaza on a work trip in February. The hotel itself is fairly average - but it is clean and the staff (from service crew all the way to the manager) were excellent. Every employee I interacted with was friendly, helpful and made me feel like the most important guest.
The room was comfortable, and on the executive floor, tempurpedic mattresses are a nice touch. The location is decent for downtown Houston and its proximity to the interstate makes it easy to get to. There's a sundry shop in the hotel that is convenient, and the exercise room was okay. The pool looked decent, but it was February.
I would stay there again.
