“Needed a last minute place to stay, we lucked out!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I stayed here last minute along with my wife and mother in law while my father in law went through surgery at St. Luke's.

We stayed here 3 nights, and although the hotel is older than some others around, it is still a great place.

We had a room with two queens (3 of us staying), and the beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom was pretty average, but hey, it had a sink, a toilet, and shower/bath, and a small counter to put your stuff.

There was a small table with two chairs outside, and a little area with a mirror (that also housed a coffee maker with some coffee samples) that one could use to get ready. We never felt cramped.

The front desk staff (which we encountered both nights and days due to going back and forth to St. Luke's) was phenomenal. Always greeted us as we walked in and out, and were very helpful on where to find certain things locally.

The Best Western is within walking distance to St. Luke's and the Childrens Hospital. You could walk outside, or walk into the hospital across the street (can't remember which one), and connect to overhead walkways that got you to St. Luke's.

The breakfast was above average in choices, and tasted good too. There was coffee, juices, a waffle maker, assorted pastries and bread, and hot sausages, eggs, biscuits and gravy. Cereal too, I believe. You could grab a free copy of the Houston Chronicle each morning as well.

There was shuttle service, but we rarely used it. The shuttle runs from 7 am to 7 pm. Depending on visiting hours (assuming you have a relative or friend at one of the hospitals), this may or may not work for you. I personally found it easier to walk to where I needed to go.

We got a great rate, and they may have a rate specially for those visiting hospital patients (nearby hotels seem to offer this, so I'm assuming they do too, even though it wasn't explicit when we called to ask about vacancy and rate).

The parking was free and ample.

Not sure about the wifi, we didn't use it, and didn't inquire about it.

There is a laundry room on site.

I did not see it, but my wife said there was a small gym and pool too.

Room Tip: Ask if they have a patient rate.

“Excellent Location & Great Staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

If you are going to the TMC in Houston for treatment, I would higley recommend this hotel. The Hotel was clean modern, and the bed and linens was top notch! They had free breakfast with Cereal, waffles, eggs, sausage, biscuits, bagels, with small danishes, cinnamon rolls,OJ,Apple juice, coffee & tea. The only complain I have was the shuttle service was very limited to the Hospitals & not to the very near by stores inside the TMC. Baylor clinic in next door, so I never got to use the shuttle in the 10 days I stayed at the hotel. Most of the time it was just parked. I hope they extend the shuttle service a tiny bit to serve the patients of the TMC better. Overall I had a good experience.

Room Tip: It appears the Hotel was recently updated, so my room had a new carpet, flat screen tv, WIFI that wo...

“Can't beat this location if you have medical appointments.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel is great if you are visiting the Texas Medical Center. This was our second stay here in the past couple of months. Within two days we had to take our kids for an EEG, MRI, Ultrasound, Neurology, and GI specialty appointments. It was difficult enough, but to be able to stay so close to the hospitals and clinics made it bearable. The hotel is beautifully decorated in a Grecian style with greens and golds. The rooms are pretty small, but very nice. We stayed in a suite this trip and we noticed the furniture and carpet was a little more worn than in the regular rooms, but we appreciated the extra space. It would be nicer if the indoor pool was heated, it's pretty cold, but the kids enjoyed it anyway. The parking here is free which is unheard of in this area, this is a huge plus! We will be back anytime we have to travel to Houston.

“AWFUL--OVERCHARGED, DIRTY AND RUDE STAFF”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

Don't waste your money! We were overcharged (web sight price was increased when we checked out), room was dirty, bathroom was moldy and there are serious parking issues (overflow guest parking blocks in other customers so you can't get out). Checked out the next day and found a larger clean room for less money with friendly staff just a few blocks away.

Room Tip: Any room at another hotel would be a better room.

“Very close to hospitals and food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

This was an OK hotel. I stayed here for business and found the check-in staff to be nice, but not knowledgeable and the check-out staff to be more knowledgeable but not very friendly or helpful. There seemed to be a lot of confusion around being "tax exempt".

The room was fine, but nothing special. The bathroom tub didn't drain well and the towels were really thin. But it was really cheap compared to the other hotels in the area, so it was OK.

Because it's near the hospital there are several food choices nearby. Mostly fast food, but they're within easy walking distance.

As an aside, it bothered me that the hotel parked its car in the fire lane.

I wouldn't recommend this hotel to a friend unless they had to stay near the hospital. If they did, this hotel would be OK for the money.
