MUTCH BETTER THAN ACSPECTED!!!

VERY CLEAN HOTEL AND GREAT PRICE ($64.00/NIGHT)AND PLENTY OF PLACES CLOSE TO EAT. WILL STAY HERE NEXT TIME. THE ONLY NEGATIVE WAS THEY CHARGED A $25.00 FEE TO COVER ADITIONAL CHARGES BUT WE WERE NOT ADVISED OF THIS AND IT WILL BE TAKEN OFF OUR DEBIT CARD.

Houston Crowne Plaza

I was only there for a night but the staff were amazing. Super nice and willing to help. The shuttle anywhere for 2-3 miles is awesome. I think the beds could have a pillow top while remaining firm. Other than that great stay.

Good hotel for a price!

We came to Houston to attend the Turkic Cultural festival and booked two rooms. The rooms were good for a price we paid ($80 per night) and closeness to Galleria (the best shopping mall in Texas) makes this Hotel a very good choice.

Was a very nice stay.

The reasoning behind the 4 stars is in respect to the our initial interaction with the check in staff. However, once we entered our room, we were met with an extremely large and comfortable room. We had a nice view of the Houston Medical District and Downtown Skyline. It is extremely easy to access from highway 59. I would certainly stay there again.

Nice home away from home

I spent three nights at the hotel and it really felt like my home away from home. I was visiting my son who is a graduate student doing an internship in Houston. It was nice to have a computer room handy. I enjoyed the view out my window. Everything was clean and neat, and I slept very well. I'd be happy to return.

When in Texas, eat like a Texan, and there's plenty of good restaurants in Houston.
