Top Rice University Hotel Reviews

Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center

Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel is conveniently located to the medical center , museum and rice village. Staff is professional, friendly, and accommodating to guest needs. Floors/rooms appear to be recently updated. Plenty of sitting space in lobby and bright areas to work. Bar/ food service in both lobby and outdoor pool area . Market in lobby has takeout food and delicious snack and dessert choices. One minor downside is a narrow parking garage shared with another business but elevator is convienet to the lobby once you find a spot. A scannable parking pass is provided for easy in and out. Take those corners slowly and you should be fine. We will be back!"
