I was sent to the Crowne Plaza Houston Downtown because the hotel I orginally had booked oversold. I came in very frustrated, but the staff was excellent. They really turned my trip around. The room was great: clean, quite, comfy beds. I will stay there from now on.

Stayed at this hotel on a weekend trip with a friend. Not too hard to find, but parking was a little weird as the only choice was valet parking for $15.00/night.
Checked in at the front desk where the agent gave me a big schpeal about having been upgraded to a VIP floor and all the amenities that went along with it. I pointedly asked the agent if the room had 2 beds and was told that it did. However, upon entering the room, we found only 1 and so headed back to the desk to get another room. This time we were not given a room on the "VIP" floor and entered our room to find a strange 2nd bath and vanity area behind louvred doors in the main room. It's purpose is still somewhat of a mystery as it contained only a pedestal sink and a regular bathtub--not a soaking tub, not a whirlpool tub--and it faced the wall rather than facing the room. Strange...In addition, this room was right next to the service elevator which ran all night long. For my roommate, who can sleep through a natural disaster, it wasn't a problem. For me, well let's just say I spent the night online in the business center instead of in bed. Had I been in a less noisy room, I probably would've rated the hotel better, but that's what the room is for--a place to sleep. Also, the door to our bathroom had wood splinters on the bottom and stains and the faucet handle on the bathroom vanity was loose. Other than that, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
Had dinner in the hotel on the night of our arrival because it was late. Service was decent -- food was good, but I don't recommend the ceviche.

I've stayed at this hotel on the 19th March 08 (last night) and had a wonderful time.

The hotel is convenietly located in Houston's Downtown district. There is not much to do around, but I wasn't in Houston for holidays. There are quite a few restaurants in the Market Sq, which is located about 1/2 mile from the hotel.

We've stayed in an executive level room, which came with a Tempur (?) mattress, relaxation CD, ear plugs and eye mask for maximum comfort and for a great night of sleep. The King size bed was amazing and really comfortable. The only down side on this room was the size of the bathroom, which was really small, but very clean and functional. The shower head is really good and had a good water pressure.

The front desk associates were fantastic. I've told them I was newly married and when we came back from our dinner they had placed chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne in our room to compliment us on our wedding. It was a really nice touch and really thoughtfull of them.

I had one of the best nights of sleep in this hotel, the bed is really comfortable. I'll definitely would stay there again, but it is likely I'll never be back in Houston.

Very nice hotel. Great staff. Room service was awesome. Rooms were very nice and clean. Overall great hotel and service. Will definetily go back!
