Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center
Loved the location, the amenities (pool, gym, patio with bar), and the room. Staff is friendly. The breakfast buffet is mid, but I assume the actual menu items taste better. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. Parking in the garage was $20 a day.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and it is kept VERY cold - bring a sweater and long pants in the summer. Dining menu is limited. Wait staff in restaurant and bar are excellent.
