Top hotels in Southeast Houston
Best Western Plus Hobby Airport Inn & Suites
"The hotel was an older hotel but clean. The breakfast area was over crowded but the food was good. I really wanted a Diet Coke but the vending machine and the hotel’s snack shop were out of Diet Coke. We were heading to a cruise in Galveston. It was very useful to have access to the airport shuttle. ..."
