Great location for Minute Maid Park.

Left tablet in room upon checkout. Went back 2 hours later and housekeeping had turned it in to lost and found. Can't ask for more!

Convenient Location, Ride light rail.

Nice hotel with a few correctable problems. City had a temporary sewer problem; but you could not smell it in rooms. ASK? Service could have been a lot better.

Great hotel in downtown Houston

My wife and I were looking for a hotel in downtown Houston and very thankful we found The Sam Houston. Near Minute Maid Park, staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Spoke to Martin, the Director of Rooms and he was more than gracious and helped make our stay special. The driver was prompt and offered great restirant suggestions after the game. From the time we pulled up to the hotel until we left the staff went put of their way to see that we were treated as guest and not just a number. It will be where I stay the next time I'm in Houston.

Great rates on the weekends. Valet parking $25.00

Pros: Quiet
Nice place to stay on weekends with great rates. Old hotel that has been renovated. Very quiet for being downtown. Most restaurants around hotel are closed on Sundays so eating breakfast at hotel is only option. Breakfast a little pricey but good service and food.

The hotel was modern and the staff was very friendly

The hotel rooms were nice, although the room was a little dark. The staff was very friendly and helpful if you needed anything or had any questions. It is in a good location (i.e. walking distance to a lot of good restaurants). I would definitely stay there again.

This is exactly what we wanted for our stay.

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Cons: $25 valet for 24 hour parking
We were looking for a "non-chain" hotel that was clean, comfortable and near our destination. Beautiful view of Astro stadium - bonus!
