The Westin Houston Medical Center/Museum District

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Great staff. Great location if you need to be close to the hospital"

Cheerful 3 bedroom bungalow, 10 min away from DT

10/10 Excellent

"This place is in a great location! We were in town for a conference downtown and it was perfect for us. The neighborhood was safe and the pictures do not do this home justice. The showers and bathrooms were spacious- beds extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities! The host was quick to answer any questions we had along the way and we will certainly book this gem when we are in town again next month. while many of our colleagues booked hotels, we were much more at home by booking this rental- we were able to spend our evenings sitting on the porch or catching up in the backyard. Thank you for having us!"
