BEST WESTERN Plaza Hotel & Suites at Medical Center

In town for a job interview. The hotel was perfect. Conveniently located just a few minutes from my destination yet access to everything else was quite easy, food, entertainment, etc. The best part about my stay was the complimentary breakfast which was much more than the usual continental bagels and coffee. Would definitely recommend to anyone in town for a short business stay.

Was there for business. Very handy for Med Center. Hotel was fine - clean, quiet, good wifi, reasonable breakfast

Nice location close to the medical district... Staff was ok, not entirely willing to help it seemed. Didn't know anything about the neighborhood and they were not ready for my check in. (I checked in 3 hours after allowed check in time) Room had a milk carton in the mini fridge that had molded over, aparantly room had not been used for a while and was not cleaned well afterwards. Bed was comfy though! Would stay again, but just for the location. There is a Holiday Inn one building down that I will try next time.

Hotel is great for Medical Center and is located near Metro Rail for fast service to Down Town or Relliant Center. Rooms are clean and staff are excellent. Let down by the bed which is like a brick and pillows that cost 50 cents at Wallmart. Not much in the way of eatery's within walking distance. This is a good hotel, but the poor bed would stop me returning.

In Houston for the Livestock Show. Hotel was close to the Show Arena & Livestock Building, about a mile away, which allowed for a quick short drive to our activity events without much traffic congestion. But also far enough away that it was not already booked up five months in advance for the Livestock Show participants Room was clean and somewhat nice as you would expect for a Best Western Hotel. Room rate was about average of the other hotels around the nearby area. However after staying there and enduring the some of noise during the night and early morning hours, we thought some discount on the room rate was needed for the lack of sleep inconveniences. Read further comments below. The hotel was difficult to access from the street especially coming from the south. Vehicle parking was very tight especially with large size vehicles which were in abundance there during our stay. Very few resturants very near the hotel other than some fast food places. However, other better places to eat could be found within a mile or two radius of the hotel on some of the other main streets & avenues. Some negatives: Elevator was slow and the doors closed quite quickly. The Hot Tub had way too much chlorine in it and the bubbling fumes burned your eyes when the water jets were turned on. Big Helpful Tip: If medical center building construction is still going on across Main Street from Hotel, ask for a room on the very west end of the building. Construction noise was extremely loud and very much came through the walls of our fifth floor, east end room. Very much learned that in Houston, they DO construction work at nights especially concrete work. Cement boom pumps ran constantly and cemnt mixer trucks came & went all night long. Then VERY early in the morning the steel workers return to give you a loud hammering wake up call, that is if you ever got sleep during the night. If I had known this was taking place there, I probably would have chosen another hotel for our two night stay. If you chose to stay here, bring some ear plugs!

I know this hotel since many years, it was renovated recently and overall has a good price-value ration. In addition it is at walking distance from MDAnderson and other medical centers

Our room was a suite with double queen size beds and a sleeper sofa. It had a kitchenette with small refrigerator, microwave. Rooms were large. The Complimentary breakfast was great. Sausage, eggs, waffles.... Was in Houston for a medical appointment. Location was great. We would definitely stay here again.

I stay there often. On two occasions including this stay, I turned on the heat and acrid smoke covered the room, my clothes, my eyes and nose. Seems like a bad systemic problem to have if you are catering to very sick people at Texas Medical Center. If the heat in Texas gets used so seldom that it builds up on soot and grime that then gets burned, the maintenance schedule for cleaning the heaters needs to change before it becomes a fire hazard. For me it was a definite lung hazard. Other than that, I've always ejoyed the hotel, the people, the location, and the lovely seating arrangements where us sick folks can sit and chat together.

Hotel is very well located, but it is too pricey for the room and services.

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.
