Extremely noisy. Starting around 6:00AM there was constant noise. Carts rolling, walkie talkies , loud talking in the halls. Did not get a good night's sleep.

The Westin Houston Medical Center/Museum District
Daniel who was the bartender on duty when we checked in could not have been nicer. Room was more than fine. Clean hotel. One thing that did bother us from a security standpoint: anyone without a key can access any floor in the hotel. This is a big security concern.
