Just returned from 4 nights at the Galleria La Quinta in Houston, where we went for a friend's wedding. We booked and paid through Hotels.Com and had no problems with the reservation. It was a bit challenging to find, as Houston has feeder streets which run on either side of the highway (one way on each side) and we had forgotten our printed directions, so we tried to use the Force to find the place, but ended up calling from a restaurant parking lot. Paul at the front desk was very helpful, not only in giving us directions to the hotel itself, but in suggesting restaurants and directions to other area attractions. We arrived early but our room was already prepared for us.

The hotel is much nicer than the price we paid for it. There is a cute little breakfast area with complementary breakfast including waffles, cereal, rolls, etc. The reception area and pool are nicer than I expected and the room was great, with a little fridge and microwave for restaurant leftovers. They gave us three towels every day, which seemed odd to me (literally), and there was only one tiny hook to hang them on when they were wet (with two people swimming and showering, they were always wet), but we just didn't bother to ask for extras. We DID ask for extra pillows and were promptly supplied with more. The bed was soft and the bedding just fine. The TV is at an odd angle for bed-viewing, which made late night Olympic coverage a bit neck-straining, but this is a minor issue. We had no problems at all during our stay. The only minor flaw is that there were rather a lot of bugs in the pool, but frankly, I think this is a feature of being in Texas and simply all any pool filter could be expected to handle.

The location is great, lots of shopping and restaurants nearby and only about 15 minutes by car to the zoo and museum district.I will certainly stay here again if our travels take us back to Houston.

A few of us love to come to Houston for our girls weekends and we always choose this property. You can book the room at a super discount directly on the hotel's website on the deals page for an unbeatable price. They will also offer discounts to many club's members (AAA, Sam's etc.)

The location is very convenient to the Galleria and to many excellent restaurants. We never feel unsafe coming in late at night in this area. There is plenty of space for all of us in the clean and up-to-date rooms. The property overall is nice and certainly adequate. I will agree that the front staff is definitely friendly enough but are not very helpful. The breakfast is perfect for a quick and relatively satisfying bite. They have a waffle station, hard boiled eggs, pastries, cereal, coffe and juice. We have never been there during the day to enjoy the pool, but from the lobby it looks like a nice area out there.

I have stayed many times and have never encountered any problems.

I stayed 3 nights at La Quinta Galleria for business. The property was well kept and inviting; breakfast is about what you expect in a moderate hotel. As far as appeal is concern, I'd say this La Quinta is above average. A couple downsides particularly for business travelers... 1. It seems like there's only one person manning the front desk at all times, so pack your patience if you see a line. 2. Internet connection did not work in my room. I visited the front desk regarding the issue, and all they did was to gave me a number to technical support! I called the number and gave up while on hold for who knows how long. So I ended up relying on their free lobby wireless connection to do my work. Aside from those inconveniences, the stay and staff was pleasant. I'm willing to stay there again for leisure, but probably would think twice if booking for business.

We stayed here because all the other hotels near the Galleria were booked. We ended up spending close to $200 for a really rotten night! First, the room just didn't seem as clean as I would have liked. The toilet flushed EXTREMELY loudly, some previous occupant had set the alarm to go off at 12am (which it very noisily did) and they put us in a room facing the highway (despite the fact that we were traveling with an infant). Basically, my child was up all night due to other people's toilets flushing, the alarm going off and the very LOUD traffic we heard all night long. All in all, a terrible stay due to thin walls and too much noise. Too bad, La Quinta.
