Friendly Economica Medical Center Hotel
Other than crickets in my room (which is a common problem in Texas, so it's hard to complain), I thought the hotel was a good deal. The room was clean, the staff was very helpful and pleasant, the shuttle was convenient and the location in the Medical Center was excellent - for the price I paid, I think I got a great deal! The fitness center and pool as well as morning breakfasts were great perks.

The hourly shuttle around the medical center is a great way to save - you don't need to rent a car or pay for parking!

Smooth as Silk!
My trip was to visit my Dad at MD Anderson cancer center for a few days. Your hotel was very convenient and the shuttle service a plus.

Rice mom on moving day
Unfortunate
Room has several things in need of repair (clock radio and wall outlet). Someone called the room every 5 minutes looking for someone (obviously not in the room) and only speaking spanish. I called the front desk to complain, getting no answer the first time (11pm). The second time, someone said they knew about the problem and would take care of it, but did not. I had to pull the plug on the phone. To the hotel's credit, they gave me a free night's stay at any Best Western for my trouble. However, I don't think I will try this hotel again.

Convenient to Medical Center
Being from the San Antonio area and unfamiliar with the Houston downtown Medical Center, the staff was helpful in directing me in the right direction of the hospitals. I was able to leave my vehicle in the parking lot and walk to where I needed to go without having to add the cost of parking as well. The staff was helpful in that I checked out early in the morning and was able to leave my mother sleeping in the room till a more reasonable hour while I conducted business. Staff was willing to assit you any way they could.

Dining tip:
Short drive from hotel
Breakfast is available, but lunch or supper is something you have to find. Methodist hospital has a wide variety of choices, there is also a Subway (does not have everything you may have at another Subway), and a Starbucks (short walk from hotel); 5 lights on S. Main (turn right out of parking lot) a Krogers store (you have a microwave and icebox), between the hotel and 610 there is a Olive Garden and several fast food places.

Business Stay
The hotel entrance and exit was not convenient for automobiles. There is no evening in hotel dining. The immediate neighborhood was not conducive for walking, though I did for 2 evening meals at nearby restuarants.

convenient
If you're in and out for medical work this is as convenient as any of the hotels at the cheapest rate. If I'm going to spend over $200 on a room--I'd just as soon be on vacation. For strict business and medical purposes--this is the mose economical choice as it's substantially less than some of the other options.

Time-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
It's a reasonable walk to most of the medical facilities if you're able. Metro Rail's only a buck too and you can see some of the other area if you're adventurous--that's also 5-10 minutes walking distance from the hotel.

Very good for short stay
My visit was good for my purposes. The bath towels and wash-cloths were truly the worst I have had to use in recent years. They were hard and obviously very old. This is definitely an area that needs improvement. The concession area could be enlarged with more products. I would stay there again if I had to because of it's proximity to areas of interest to me.
