The Westin Houston Medical Center/Museum District

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very nice second go around here.. Now lil pricey for valet almost 60 per day, but I pay for convenience was in and out service 24hour a day car was immediately available every time I requested.. staff very friendly…"

Extended Stay America Suites Houston Med Ctr Braeswood Bl

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this main stay was excellent!! Due to a fall and being a guest on her own, I ended up needing LOTS of help. I don’t ask for help lightly, so for the staff to recognize that I was struggling and insisting on me letting them help without asking, was a God send!!! There were about 5 different staff members who helped me at different times. They included a cleaning staff, maintenance staff, guest check-in person, along with 2 others whom I didn’t recognize their departments. Everyone went out of their way to provide help which prevented me from having to call an ambulance. Thank you all for going ABOVE & BEYOND!!!"

Hotel Saint Augustine

10/10 Excellent

"What a treasure, next to the Menil Collection Museum! Hyatt runs a hotel but Tte museum actually purchased the land and built this hotel which looks more like an apartment complex. The Landscaping is absolutely beautiful. All the stuff are extremely helpful and friendly. The room was beautiful and spacious. I live in the Greater Houston area but we did decided to stay here for one night and I'm so glad we did. We will definitely be back."
