DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
Everything was really nice. However, the beds were so hard it made my back hurt and I spent most of the night tossing and turning. I eventually had to make a pad to sleep on with the extra pillows just to get any rest.

Hotel Zaza Houston Museum District
Very friendly and accommodating staff. They let us check in early which we really appreciated. Enjoyed the pool as well. Food and drink prices were high. Great area to be located in, near museums and Rice University. Also appreciated the free shuttle within three-mile radius of hotel.
