Top Downtown Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Houston Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Get hotel at a great location walking distance to the baseball game"

Moxy Houston Downtown

8/10 Good

"WiFi would not connect"

C. Baldwin, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Customer service at the desk and bar were great!"

Le Meridien Houston Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is nice and rooms are large. Great location, great value for the money. Valet is expensive but most are. We really wanted to check out the rooftop bar but it closed early due to rain. Complimentary coffee would have been nice but they did have half cookies at check in. The two downsides I would say is #1 the rooms are very poorly lit. Even the restroom, so it makes it it very inconvenient when putting in contacts or applying makeup. Also for some reason housing keeping knocking on the door and walking away starting at 9:00 a.m.! Worse thing is is happened every hour until 11;45 as we were walking out. Yes the do not disturb sign was on."
