Priceline Hotel: Help with Houston Regions & Hotels

[grayh]

Hi,

I'll be in Houston for 2 days with a rental car. I'm looking for a nice 4 star property, however I've got no idea about the different regions. Which regions can you recommend and why? I prefer a safe and clean environment, maybe good access to the center (not necessary though, as I said we've got a car). Any help is appreciated, I've never been to Houston before.

And what are the usual fees of the hotels in terms of parking? Something between $10-$20?)

Well Houston is a BIG place so not sure we can offer much guidance on where to stay based upon your needs this trip, best advice would be to figure out what you want to do in the area and pick a place that is convenient to access the place you intend to head to during the day. Once you have determined the zone(s) you're willing to accept, and your expected budget per nite, we can suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Can I jump in here with a similar question. Family of four going to spend one week in Houston in August with no car. What's a good area for food and shopping ON FOOT? I'm guessing that the Galleria is good, but then it is pretty expensive. Anywhere else that's cheaper?

I'm trying to do some research, but it's hard to get qualitative information like that.

Thanks,

RD

Thanks for the welcome. I've posted in the general Texas forum here:

All replies (to which there have been a few already... i'm continually amazed at the depth of the board :) ) should go in the Priceline Houston thread created by rd456, and we'll also use that thread once s/he begins bidding.

Thanks to everyone who has already added some 'local info'.
