The Westin Houston Medical Center/Museum District

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel! Location/ pool/ fitness/ comfortable beds: beautiful views"

Hotel Saint Augustine

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel in a great location. It was awesome to be able to walk to the Menil Collection. One of our favorite areas of Houston. The only thing that was odd, and a safety hazard was the shower. No door or curtain allowed water to get all over the bathroom floor making it very slippery. We had to put towels down all over the floor."

Extended Stay America Suites Houston Med Ctr Braeswood Bl

6/10 Okay

"First off, the staff is wonderful, friendly and helpful. This is a budget motel and you get what you pay for. The rooms are clean. The furniture is very worn out. The curtains in our room were thread bare. You could see through them. The fridge constantly made noise. The bathroom is micro size. It is very difficult to even get in and out of the bathroom due to its small size. The carpet in common areas is dirty and worn. The pool itself is clean. The landscaping is non existent. They only have five chairs and one umbrella for use. Luckily, all the guests when we visited were very nice and we all shared the limited number of chairs so us older folks had places to sit. It has not been maintained well and and maintenance is very shoddy. This location definitely needs an update. It would definitely increase business. Hopefully, tbe owners will be willing to pour some money in and refurbish this establishinment. It filled a need for us as we needed a place to stay close to MD Anderson that didn't break the bank. Next time we will probably break the bank to stay at a place a little nicer. Now we know!"

Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Nice clean property, great location, garage parking good. Pool and rooftop view great. Check in easy and elevators work fast. Cons: No ironing board, had to iron on bed. No ice machines, had to call front desk and request ice be brought. Depending on time, it can come fast or take very long."
