My wife and I live in Houston and for our 1st year anniversary we decided to stay at this hotel, specially since it was the same hotel where we stayed on our wedding night.

I requested the same room we stayed the previous year, unfortunally the hotel didn't find the old reservation but after I arrived and explained where I had stayed, the staff made some great arrangements.

The hotel has an awesome location, from the hotel you could walk to the Galleria (2 blocks) or take the Hotel complementary shuttle.

For restaurants,

My favorites in the area:
Maggiano’s restaurant (Awesome Italian food) is right next to the hotel or Americas (Great South American Food with an incredible ambiance) is across the street from the hotel. For Sushi our favorite in the area is uptown Sushi

For dessert you could go to the dessert gallery which is two blocks from the hotel.

Personally, if you are visiting Houston and would like to stay by the Galleria, The Hilton Post Oak is the BEST, everything will be at walking distances. Plus you will have an awesome service from their staff.

I would recommend this hotel 100%, they are willing to meet and exceed your needs.

First of all, this hotel is very nice, and i would reccomend it to anyone! The personel behind the desk were, lets say "uptight", but that was NOT a problem. The one and only problem we had was with the Cadillac shuttle to and from the mall. We had to call the shuttle 3 times, because after waiting 3-5 minutes as we were told to do, we stood outside the Galleria in the hot Texas sun for 30 minutes waiting on the driver to come 3 blocks. But overall, the shuttle was nice. It was a brand new Cadillac DTS with a wonderful friendly driver.

Stayed at this property twice within one year. The first time, October 2005, Had difficulty upon check-in, reservation could not be found, I produced a printout of the confirmation, my prreferred room type was not available, even after I had left a credit card guarantee and informed the hotel upon making the reservation that I would arrive late, after 10pm. Received help from the manager, who helped the situation by giving me a complimentary room (double beds) for the night, with my requested room type( a suite on the executive level) for the remainder of the stay. O.K. everything else turned out fine, but I did it again. Booked a room on the hotel's website for for a four night stay July 2006. My reservation could not be found. After the manager got involved, my reservation was found. This made me thing that the staff needs more training on hough to thouroughly search their system for exixtng reservations. The price of the rooms and the location of the hotel offers value, but the frustration I have experienced twice now with checking in does not make it worth it. I will not stay at this property again. After a long flight, after an even longer day, the last thing a traveller wants is to walk to the front desk of a hotel, and ther reservation can not be found, the said traveller had to dig, and I mean dig trhough her purse and bags to produce a printout of the confirmation number before they can just get teh key and go to bed. Once was bad, twice worse, there will be no third chance. There are too many hotels in Houston with comparable prices and locations to go through this.

We couldn't be happier! My husband and I went for one night just to get away and we picked the perfect hotel. It was clean and elegant, with great service.

The rooms were very neat and everything worked perfectly. The bed was wonderful, with lots of extra pillows; we had a great night's sleep. The bathroom was good sized and we liked the way the curved shower curtain rod gave you more room. The vanity area was separate from the toilet/tub area, so my husband could shower while I did my make-up (over a black marble sink). Ladies, you will love the lighted make-up mirror! The bath products were Evelyn & Crabtree, which I liked as well.

I especially appreciated the high ceilings in the rooms and the hallways, which was a nice change from the typical low, cramped ceilings you find in most hotels..

The location near the Galleria was excellent, and we walked there and back in a few minutes (although the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service). There are plenty of restaurants nearby and many within walking distance (only a block or two). We never used our car until we checked out.

We enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the restaurant and I fell in love with the raisin bread french toast! And for once, bacon on a buffet that wasn't burnt to a crisp!

The only negative thing I noticed was that some of the accessory items in the lobby and hallways needed to be fixed. For example, a metal wire basket once had some type of decorative item in it, which had since disappeared, so there was visible hot glue in the bottom of the basket. I noticed this on our floor as well as in the lobby. There were moss covered balls in a basket in the lobby, and a lot of the moss had been picked off so the styrofoam showed. It's pretty easy to replace the balls and glue them back in, so it's just a lack of someone not noticing. So, management, if you read this, please fix the decorative items - we do notice those things!

Outside of that small item, we loved the hotel and would definitely go back! Don't forget to go out on your balcony and enjoy the great view!
