Top South Central Houston Hotel Reviews

The Westin Houston Medical Center/Museum District

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience with the Westin was, conversely, the opposite of the Hyatt down the road. Where the Hyatt smelled like garbage and had a staff that seemed to have been taken off the streets—with no idea how to deal with paying guests—the Westin had a staff of people who were very helpful and genuinely committed to our satisfaction. Whereas the Hyatt literally threw us out after we had paid for two nights and refused to honor our reservation, the Westin was quick to accommodate us. Even though the suite we reserved was unavailable, they promptly arranged a different room, provided complimentary breakfast and parking, and made the entire experience extremely nice. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel. We will be staying there again in the future. As for our relationship with Hyatt, based on that one experience, we will probably never stay at a Hyatt again. We travel regularly, are Platinum members with Expedia, fly frequently, and stay at hotels all over the world. We will probably never stay at another Hyatt, but we will definitely return to the Westin and other Marriott hotels in the future."

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."

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."
