Top University of Houston - Downtown Hotel Reviews

Hilton Americas-Houston

10/10 Excellent

"Great property!"

Rusk House Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This is by far the best property and room i have gotten in the downtown area!"

Moxy Houston Downtown

8/10 Good

"The valet stand is around the corner from the hotel and very difficult to see while driving. It’s located behind taste and you have to walk around the corner and halfway down the street to the hotel. Valet did not get my request for the vehicle and I had to physically walk to the stand and the valet was just sitting there on their phone. That was a little annoying Angel, Jordan and I believe J were awesome!!!"

Magnolia Hotel Houston, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! We enjoyed our stay"

Holiday Inn Express Houston Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean hotel, staff was very helpful, wings at the bar were amazing just tell them to fry them a little longer"

AC Hotels by Marriott Houston Downtown

8/10 Good

"I’d skip the breakfast - it’s definitely not worth the extra cost. The selection was pretty disappointing. They had scrambled eggs and a few random lunch meats, but no bacon, sausage, hash browns, or really any of the normal hot breakfast options you’d expect. For what they charge, I expected a much better selection."
