Fast & friendly check-in. Vic & Anthony's (a Paula Dean fav) provides room service. Beds are great, cool decor & great customer service. Located adjacent to minute maid park. Close to conv. Center & Toyota center as well.

I stayed here for one night when I was in Houston for business. Upon my arrival I was greeted fairly promptly and politely. I was disappointed when I found the only parking option is valet for $25 per night, but the hotel is downtown so it's kind of to be expected. When I got to my room I was really... More

Enjoyed a nice stay here. The decor was interesting with a very clear baseball theme and the lounge area with comfy sofas, raised glass ceilings and faux trees offered a comfortable and classy setting to hang out and talk shop. Service was excellent and a minor booking error was easily and quickly corrected. Truly a classy spot and I would... More

The room, the bed, the linens, the bathroom, the robe, all were excellent. Didn't spend any time at the bar or any other public space. They run a shuttle to attractions in the downtown area. Nice, polite shuttle driver, but he should have started at 5pm yet he only got going around 5:20. The parking is valet only and expensive... More

I had a very nice stay while at a training recently in Houston. The room was large and comfortable, not to mention very quiet. I arrived late evening on a Sunday and had a very good Tuscan Salmon for dinner in the lobby open bar/restaurant. The food here was excellent at the bar, from room service, and with the catering...

My husband and I stayed at the Inn at the Ballpark slightly by accident. We needed a place to stay in Houston overnight to avoid a 2 hour drive to the airport for a very early flight the next morning. I am not a sports fan, but even I could appreciate the traditions of baseball that surround you in this... More

This is an elegant older property with large rooms, high ceilings, and beautiful appointments in every room I've stayed in. (I stay here often when I'm in Houston.) The staff are exceptional as is the food. The price is very reasonable considering the classiness of this hotel. Another wonderful feature is that one of Houston's very best restaurants, Vic &...

My wife and I had tickets to a Rockets game and a party to attend afterwards, so we decided to go ahead and get a hotel downtown for the night. We normally book on Priceline and have a great success rate, and this time was no different. The hotel is in a great location, directly across from Minute Maid Park.... More

I have not stayed here but eat breakfast or lunch in the lobby cafe occasionally and have been very pleased. Service is excellent, food is good with great breakfast buffet and ample additional choices. The lobby is very comfortable and makes a great place for lunch before an afternoon game--it is across the street from Minute Maid Park. Overall, the... More

I recently stayed at Inn at the Ballpark for the first time for a week during a recent business trip. Overall a good, quiet, spacious room, with up to date decor without being cutting edge. Perfect for a business trip. Breakfast choice was standard which was fine as it was part of my room rate. Front desk was friendly and... More
