Top hotels in Garden Oaks
Palace Inn Blue 290 W 43rd & Bingle Rd
Everything was great!! The only thing was that rooms have an open shower, meaning there's no door to seperate the shower from the bedroom. You will shower on the open. I was with my daughter and had to switch rooms to another room that allowed privacy while showering. Other than that staff was great ...

Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston
Generally, I enjoyed the hotel. It was clean and centrally located. My only complaints are that the rooms are on the small side, and the rooms do not have a mini fridge.

Blossom Hotel Houston, Curio Collection by Hilton
Advertising says THREE restaurants, there is only ONE. The original restaurant closed after 3 months. Coffee bar in the lobby has minimal options.

Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center
We were in town for my daughter’s medical procedure so we spent most of the time at the hospital. But the room was very nice, beds were comfortable, staff was helpful. My wife and I are already talking about going back to enjoy the rest of the amenities. Overall, great place to stay.
