Top South Central Houston Hotel Reviews

Downtowner Inns - Houston Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Perfecto"

Houston Towers Inn Downtown Museum District Med. Ctr NRG - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This definitely a different experience than your typical hotel--it's a weird old house with antique furniture and gothic turrets. Everything was clean and well maintained though, and the staff was quite friendly. Breakfast was adequate. Essentially it consisted of complimentary access to a well-stocked kitchen. The pool was not the most meticulously maintained but it was clean enough that we felt comfortable swimming, and the pool area is pleasantly shaded and private. Access in and out of the property is through a gated driveway. The parking is a little tight but ultimately it was easy to get in and out, and the location is very convenient to the museum district."

DoubleTree by Hilton Houston Medical Center Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Was exactly what was needed for my family to stay together and connected while we we dealt with the primary reason for being in Houston's Medical District. Each day we came back to a beautiful, comfortable, clean and perfect environment and views. Had dinner together around the table after cooking a nice meal in our kitchen. Able to still have privacy in each of our separate bedrooms. The apartment was just perfect... almost as perfect as the chocolate chip walnut cookies handed out every night from the staff. Thank you for alleviating what could have been a very stressful few days."

MorningSide Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Based on the price and the proximity to nrg stadium and the medical center I would say this is a amazing deal. The rooms are older however for the price you are getting a safe and clean place to stay for the night. The hotel staff where friendly and helpful when I asked for an extra key later at night. I went to a game at nrg and chose this place and will chose it again in the future would definitely recommend for a budget traveler who just wants a clean and safe place to stay for the night."
