I'm curious why the Hilton at university of hospitality (part of U of H) isn't nicer. I would think that this hotel would be at a higher standard given it's association with the school of hospitality.

I've been here before, but last time i had a suite. This time I'm in what they probably refer to as the standard room. It's tiny. There are two beds thrown in here along with a TV so small, i think it might be a fossil. The air conditioner sounds like a 747 getting ready for takeoff (and blows right onto the bed, that's pleasant!) and the noise outside in the hall was pretty bad. Everything is pretty worn, their bedding is old fashioned (coverlets) and i think they are just ready for a soft goods rehab.

The wireless connectivity works well here and that is the saving factor.

I've heard horror stories of colleagues of mine with severe ant infestations in their rooms and in our conference rooms but i haven't seen them myself, so i can't confirm that.

What people need to realize is that this is a teaching hotel. Since it is a part of the university, almost all of the staff are students. They pretty much run the hotel, and the restaurants. They also welcome constructive criticism, because it helps them in the learning process. Having worked in the hotel and amusement park industry, I have realized that running one of these babies is really, really hard work. These kids are working their heinies off for no pay (execpt for the university's tuition). And you can get a great deal on food when you go to the student run dinners, and you will be doing a good deed, AND getting brownie points. Who doesn't want those?

This is my second stay at the Hilton, we
spent the weekend in Houston visiting our son at the University of Houston. One doesn't need to leave the campus for food, dining at Eric's is a fabulous treat, the food is devine, the service impecable and the atmosphere is relaxing.

I recommend Eric's as one of the top places to eat in Houston.

I've stayed at this hotel 3 times. Liked the location when I visit UH since this hotel is right next to Moody Towers. Room and beds were decent, clean and comfortable. Maids were pleasent. Expect to pay about $20 in taxes and $4 a day for parking in the garage. Nothing above average about the hotel but it's decent.
