Club Quarters Hotel in downtown Houston offers a fitness centre and a shared lounge. Around a 6-minute walk from Alley Theater and along the Houston Metrorail line, the property is within walking distance to Houston's Theatre District and offers free WiFi. Discovery Green Park is less than a km away.

It was a great value for the price I paid. It felt secure (you need a room key to even use the elevators). They provided free laundry. And I loved that they held on to my bag even after I checked out on the last morning so I didn't have to drag it around with me. That sealed the deal for me when looking.

Situated within walking distance of the Galleria Mall, Hotel Derek provides a upscale accommodation with a 24-hour fitness centre, bar and on-site dining. This property also provides guests with an outdoor pool. Every room is equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

The manager got involved in my check in. I had the wrong weekend checked on the reservations calendar online. She secured a room with a comparable price and allowed me to stay. It would have been terrible to look for another hotel at that time of night. Kuddos to the night manager. I asked her name but I can't remember it. She was so professional and courteous.
