Overnight Stay in Houston

Pros: Newer hotel with clean facilities and comfortable bed
Cons: Most hotels in this price range offer complimentary breakfast, this one did not. Breakfast was very pricey, no refridgerator or microwave in room
Location: Within a mile of a nice shopping district and about 3 miles from the Houston Medical Center area.
Comfortable room, parking was limited, staff was nice
