I had to go to Houston for a couple of days for work during my kids' spring break, so we all went. Chose this hotel for the indoor pool and got a nice price ($89) on Hotwire. We found the hotel mixed. Nice although smaller room with two double instead of usual queen beds. Lovely pool on the 24th floor with big hot tub and outdoor terrace - children loved it.
But hotel is huge and not very busy while we were there. Strange atmosphere. We went to the bar on the 24th floor for pre dinner drinks at 6 pm on a weeknight and were the only ones there. Except several staff who chatted loudly and watched tv but didnt manage to give us any nuts to go with our drinks. Although they weren't busy, gave us a room with a view partially blocked by a big generator and it was a handicapped room with walk in shower etc despite the fact we had two kids with us. That's the first time I used hotwire and felt like I was given a crummy room as a result as plenty of other romms were empty. But also made me wonder why the disabled deserve crummy views... Staff were very offhand at best throughout - some to the point of rudeness.
A mixed bag - good for this price but I'd be unhappy if I'd paid the regular rate.

Stayed at the Hilton Americas for 5 days while in Houston meeting some friends. Definitely a hotel to use while in town. it is very business oriented with a lot of folks attending meetings and conferences, but the service is impeccable. The rooms are very clean, the food is of a supreme quality and the personnel is very friendly. All this comes with a normal price tag on rooms, F&Bs. Definitely a go.

I did not actually stay at the hotel, but my fiance and I went there for Valentine's Day dinner to the Skyline Grill on the top floor. The atmosphere is great with an amazing view, but the food is TERRIBLE. I had the muscles to start which came out cold and tasteless. I ordered the special seabass. Again ice cold and so bland. My fiance had the lobster salad which was also nothing special and bland. His steak was ok, but he said Outback is way better, and his steak was $40. Our waiter had too many tables for a fine dining restaraunt. Also, I could not get a capuccino at the end of the meal because the machine was broken. Basically we paid almost $200 for cold bland food with a nice view. Then, we went to the lobby bar for a drink. I wanted a capuccino but was again told that to get that I had to get up and get one from the lobby coffee stand in a paper cup. My fiance ordered a scotch which was listed as $7 in the menu, but the bill came and it was $9, apparently because he ordered it on the rocks, whatever. Then, the waitress gave us the wrong change. What a night.

Stayed there for a week during the last week of January. Everything was in great working order. No problems. Very clean, professional and Texas folks were extremely nice.

Room overlooked the Totoya Center, and minute maid park is about a block away. You can see it from the building.
