Hotel Zaza Houston Museum District
Room was fine. Just every morning at breakfast their landscaper was using a gas blower that ruined the whole experience. Very loud. No common sense to not have that done or switch to electric so there is no noise. Also area is not walkable to any restaurants. Sorta in a bad spot.

Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center

Downtowner Inns - Houston Downtown
There was hair behind the bathroom door and mould on the ceiling. Bed was so hard. Posting said soundproofed room but our one was not, you could hear all the road noise. We booked for two nights and then they rang after night one to see if we were checking out.
