Top South Central Houston Hotel Reviews

Extended Stay America Suites Houston Med Ctr Braeswood Bl

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Lodgeur Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"This property is exceptional, offering a wealth of amenities that enhance your stay. It feels like a luxurious home in the heart of downtown Houston, surrounded by excellent dining options. The building is impeccably maintained, situated in a safe area. Lodgeur ensures a seamless experience with all necessary information for a stress-free arrival, stay, and departure. My studio was spacious, featuring a large walk-in closet and a balcony. The apartment was fully equipped with everything from kitchenware to hygiene items, including new, unopened olive oil and laundry detergent packets for the in-house washer and dryer. Outstanding amenities include an in-ground swimming pool, an arcade pinball machine, a well-equipped gym, and multiple business lounges suitable for various activities. The walls are solid, providing excellent sound insulation. Having stayed at many fine hotels, I can confidently say this one stands out as the best. Lodgeur company goes above and beyond for their customers."

Houston Towers Inn Downtown Museum District Med. Ctr NRG - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The host was very helpful and pleasant, the house was quirky very clean and a comfortable bed. There was some dodgy dealings happening when we arrived just outside on the street, but have to say no overall issues. There was a slight issue with the overhead shower head, but didn’t see the host to be able to tell him."
