Massive hotel - wrong location
We picked this hotel over the Westin in the gallerias as we mistakenly thought that since it was downtown it would be a bit more entertaining- how wrong we were! There is not much going on in downtown Houston (especially on a weekend where we thought we were the only people on the planet) it is purely a business location hotel , not for the average tourist. Luckily the bus service is very good and the number 53 or 82 takes you straight to the gallerias for a bit of retail therapy.
The light train down to herman park and the museums is also easy and fun at only $1.25 worth every penny. Other than that you need to book expensive tours.
I also found the hotel quite noisy even though we were on the 23rd floor. The lobby and bar are in a central well and noise travels up.
To be honest I was a bit disappointed with the room, did not feel it was the usual high standard as other hyatt hotels we have stayed in.
