DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
Check in was slow but friendly. The room was ok but the bathroom needed a cleaning. Strong odor of marijuana everywhere even the elevators. Elevators where very slow must times. Over all, the hotel looks a bit rundown but they seem to be working on it. Great location and again very friendly ...

Magnolia Hotel Houston, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Hotel was great and well maintained with friendly staff. Unfortunately the area around it is not so safe at night but that’s just Houston downtown in general.
