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

I stayed in this hotel for a business trip in August 2011. It is good if you are having most of your appointments in downtown Houston, but nothing that cannot be worked around if you have a rented car, as you probably should do anywhere in the US. More

We picked this hotel because of its proximity to Minute Maid Park. We were heading to Houston to catch a baseball game. The location was great but the hotel was undergoing renovations that we didn't know about. We were greeted with milk and cookies upon our arrival. Very nice touch. They also had a nice indoor pool and hot tub... More

i have stayed at many Holiday Inn Express hotels and it is just like the rest. Clean, free wifi, free breakfast, nice beds, clean bathrooms. The hotel was totally fine, the staff warm and the only issue was the location during the day didn't feel so safe. At night it felt safe and there were bike patrol police riding around... More

Took grandkids to a concert at Minute Maid and wanted a hotel within walking distance. Did not feel unsafe walking back after the concert ended around 11:30 PM. The hotel was typical Holiday Inn. The room was a little frayed around the edges with a really worn and dirty carpet, but breakfast was good. An added plus was nearby Discovery... More

We wanted something close to the Toyota Center and this works........but it is also just minutes from major freeways AND close to most downtown attractions. Great location. The place was also very clean and well kept with a spacious lobby. It was also in a very open location with police stopping in for breakfast every morning and coffee all day... More

All the other hotels were booked near where I needed to be on other side of downtown. Hotel was in an unsafe neighborhood. Room carpet looked dirty so didn't take my shoes off. Bathtub drain was clogged so I was standing in 6 inches of water before my shower was done. More

off the lobby at the Holiday Inn express, so we know the wi-fi, which is fast and free, is up and running.

While planning for a four-day non-business event, I reserved this HI-Express primarily because it offers free parking in spite of its downtown location. It was nice to pull in and without fail, access plenty of ground-level parking, one lot in front of the hotel and another fenced and gated behind. Easy walking distance to the Toyota Center and George Brown... More

Stayed here 3 years ago with Family and it was really clean and nice. We recently revisited and must say I was not all that satisfied. First, the location seems run down. Not as safe at night. Second, the rooms smelled moldy. Third, the pool area needs a lot of updating. Not sure at this time if I would stay... More
