“Great Place to Stay for MD Anderson Patients”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

We have made several trips to Houston for my mother to have treatments at MD Anderson. First, I appreciate the reduced rate for patients. We found the hotel through the hospital and have been very pleased with each of our stays. We like the fact that there is a restaurant on premises so we don't have to go out. The food is good and the staff is wonderful and very caring. I especially look forward to seeing Asmer when we dine. The hotel is clean and bright and the entire staff is extremely helpful and friendly each and every stay. When we had questions about the shuttle service to the hospital, or just about the area, Shayla, Pierre, and Christopher have been kind and sincere in their efforts to help. We really feel like they are glad to see us! Thanks to Jackie Frank for assisting my mom and to Debbie Hollier, as well. The employees here have made a very difficult time as comfortable as it can be considering the reason we are there. Thanks for all you do for MD Anderson patients. It means more than I can say!

“OK location but no hot water.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I stayed at this location for work related. It was close to my work. The room was nice and clean but when I needed to take a hot shower early in the morning (4AM) - there was none even though I waited for awhile. I did complain to the front desk as I was checking out but he said it maybe that way because it was sold-out. I can understand it if it was later but I tried to take a shower at 4AM (not too many people up at that time).

Don't think I will stay here again.

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

My husband is a patient at MD anderson. We have stayed at Crowne Plaza on two occasions and will be staying again next month for 8 days. After a flight to Houston and a cab ride to this hotel, we were greeted by the friendliest young lady by the name of Shaila. She was most helpful in accommodating all of our needs. Before arriving, she had already noted we might have medical needs and had placed us near an elevator. I cannot tell you how much this helped my husband. Thank you Shaila! I would also like to thank Debbie Hollier for helping us with reservations. You can feel the dedication of these two young ladies to their jobs and helping their clients. Crowne Plaza is lucky to have both of you.

“Great Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I recently stayed at this hotel for an overnight business trip. The staff were all so friendly and helpful! The front desk was great and they even left me a message to check in and make sure I had everything I needed. We had dinner at the restaurant and not only was the food great but our server was very friendly and kept our drinks filled. I will absolutely stay here again when I am back in Houston.

“Kudos”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

The personnel at this hotel were very professional and friendly. Three, in particular, Debbie, Shaila, and Jackie, exuded in southern hospitality and attentiveness to our every need. It is stressful traveling 900 miles to make tough medical decisions and these three individuals went above and beyond making sure the services and amenities were there for us. The hotel is clean, rooms are roomy and well appointed. Location great!

Room Tip: A 2 queen room facing front is slightly larger than those facing back.
