Top University Place Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Houston Bush IAH South

8/10 Good

"Na"

Blossom Hotel Houston, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The Blossom is a beautiful and super clean hotel. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I would be happy to stay there again. My only complaint is that the hotel parking is valet ONLY, which adds around $47 per night, and there is no other available parking nearby. This is a significant cost and also a hassle if you want to pop into your room to relax for a short time before heading back out."

Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston

8/10 Good

"The hotel overall was really nice! It's very intuitive. When you check in there's someone at the desk but you make your own room key and check yourself in on a tablet with their guidance. I got a standard room with either a queen or a double single bed room, I forgot the bed type to be honest. There was no microwave and no mini fridge but it had an iron, tv, desk, even a nespresso maker which was super nice. The TV came with all the channels needed plus a way to stream Netflix and other apps which was cool. The hotel was very clean and my room was very clean as well. There's no ice machine only an ice water dispenser and they give you your own plastic water bottle to fill up when needed or just use your own. If you want ice there's a cafe in the lobby with a full bar, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I got ice a few times there and they didn't mind since they knew the hotel didn't give ice. Overall a few critiques but nothing major. I would 100% stay here again. Also was a great location, right in the middle of downtown Houston within walking distance to many restaurants and very close to the lightrail they have there."
