Top River Oaks District Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria

10/10 Excellent

"Clean great staff"

The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria

10/10 Excellent

"Love the staff. I stay here for my work trips once a month. The staff knows me and they keep a close eye on my safety. They make sure I am comfortable."

Hyatt Place Houston/Galleria

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely gorgeous suites with spacious bathrooms. Sofa sleeper was surprisingly comfortable, and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Valet parking staff were absolutely wonderful. Extremely helpful, and respectful. Checking in was easy and staff were quick to find accommodations for my own mistakes in booking dates, which I GREATLY appreciate. Water pressure in the showers is absolutely wonderful, and really relaxing after a nice dip in the balcony pool. Complimentary breakfast had a large selection as far as food options, although the dining area is a bit small during crowds. Food was pretty okay, we also went a bit later so I’m sure that had a part to play rather than food itself. A nice little staycation in H-Town made even better with a beautiful building and wonderful staff. Couldn’t recommend this place enough."

Holiday Inn Express Houston - Galleria Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great too."

The Chifley Houston, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Hi the room was great, but 2 doors down from my room had dogs, and they kept leaving them in the room, and they'd bark and cry repeatedly. I called front desk, no answer the 1st time, called again and took a lomg time to answer. The dogs finally got quiet about 1050pm, then it happened again the next day, id recommended to habe dog friendly floors, and not put people without dogs on the same floor. I didnt sleep well. Last day I couldn't get shower to get warm, had to take a cold shower at 430am before my flight home."

Extended Stay America Suites - Houston - Galleria

10/10 Excellent

"It was really affordable, low pet fee, and my room was clean and comfortable for the most part. It’s in the middle of the city yet cozily tucked away, so I felt safe staying there. It’s in a very convenient location. The clerk was helpful and kind. I would definitely stay again."
