Stayed here with family. Nice place. Staff is friendly walking distance to george brown center and surrounding places. I'd stay here again. Stayed on first floor. Pretty nice room.

This is an older hotel in the downtown area. It has its pluses and minuses, for sure. If you want an inexpensive option when coming in town for an Astros game, this place fits the bill. The pool and area are nice and clean. They offer free cookies and milk during the afternoon/evening hours. Bottled water is complimentary, all you... More

Here while presenting at a conference in Houston, I found the HIE downtown to be a very warm, welcoming and service-with-a-smile environment. Though a bit older than some, it was exceedingly clean and quiet. Comfortable bed on the firm side...plenty of pillows.The wireless was responsive and fairly quick, and the business center in the front lobby very accessible. Upon an... More

We have stayed at nicer and newer hotels in Houston but we keep coming back to this Hotel on Bell St when we are in town to see the Astro's play ball. Now the good things about the Hotel. Great clean rooms, clean indoor pool, good morning breakfast with fresh fruit and a new pancake machine, and around 3 or... More

I stayed here to save a few dollars compared to the other higher-end hotels that were actually connected to the convention center. It wasn't your typical, in-the-middle-of-nowhere-outskirts hotel, although the price might have suggested such. It was in a bland location, sandwiched between a highway and a few skyskrapers, but the area was safe and the walk to the convention... More

Whenever I am at a convention at the GRB Convention Center, I always try for this hotel. It is usually less expensive than anything in the area, it is nice, it has a hot (free) breakfast, and great (free) wireless Internet. My only complaints are that there are only a couple of restaurants within a few blocks (of course, not... More

I stayed here for a full week-long business trip to Houston where my meetings were at the Hilton but I wanted to save 50%-60% off my hotel expenses. It was just a 4 or 5 minute walk to the convention center/Hilton, as well as the Toyota Center. A bit further walk to Minute Maid Park. If you had to go... More

Let's start from the beginning: Parking for this hotel is kind of bad. There is a small parking area right in front of the hotel and a lot behind it where all the spaces seem pretty compact. Of course being downtown, if you miss the entrance to the hotel, you will have to loop back to get to it again.... More

Chose this hotel for a week-long business trip to Houston as it was the most economical downtown option. Due to a booking glitch, I ended up taking a junior suite instead of a standard room. What I liked: Convenient location - 5 mins walk to the convention center & Toyota Center, and 10-15 mins walk to Minute Maid Park as... More
