Stayed here for two nights in mid-December while taking the USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills and couldn't have asked for more. Friendly service, $59/night, great airport shuttle (featuring a driver who will also drive you to Walmart if you need something to do on a Friday night in the outskirts of Houston while waiting for a flight the next morning). The testing center is less than a five minute walk from the hotel doors, the hot continental breakfast in the morning features biscuits and gravy, make your own waffles and a variety of pastries and juices (indulged heavily in the biscuits & gravy both mornings).
Rooms are spacious and clean but show the general wear that lets you know the place was probably built before the first Bush took office. Although I didn't use it, there was a nice pool that looked clean and a fitness center.
The only issue that came up was a little bit of road noise from Sam Houston Parkway (noticeable, but didn't affect my sleep at all). Also, there isn't much nearby if you don't have access to a car... given the low cost of the hotel, I would have rented a car for a couple of days if I had been there for anything but the test.
