Where To Stay--Beginning of March

Three friends (women) going to Houston for 3 days at the beginning of March. Any suggestions of where we could stay--safe area, some shopping etc. Never been here before. Medium price range. Thanks



Where To Stay--Beginning of March


The rodeo will be going on at this time, so lots to do. I would suggest the Galleria area for shopping galore and easy access to all areas.



Welcome to Houston



Where To Stay--Beginning of March


What are your primary interests in seeing while you are here? If primarily shopping - The Galleria and Rice Village are both great spots. If you are here to see specific things, let people know on this forum and they can offer you lots of suggestions and hints - the Galleria area is usually fairly central to most things. I would stay in the immediate Galleria area and not at a hotel located along Highway 59 (aka Southwest Freeway) outside of Loop 610. That area outside of Loop 610 has gotten rather unsavory.





The last days of the rodeo are usually in March - not sure if you are into that or not but it is here. Houston Livestock Show %26amp; Rodeo (HLSR).




Thank you for your responses. We are not interested in the rodeo....just a little relaxing and some shopping, cafes etc. I think the most important thing is a safe area. Some hotel recommendations would be appreciated.




Some hotels in the Galleria area include the Westin (2 of them), JW Marriott, Hotel Derek , Hilton Post Oak, Sheraton Suites, Hampton Inn, and Drury Inn, Crowne Plaza on West Loop South.




The Westin is actually located AT the Galleria so you woulnd%26#39;t have to do any walking or driving to get to the shopping.




Thank you for all your information.




I can personally vouch for the Hilton Post Oak and the Sheraton Suites mentioned above.





If you can afford the rates, you can%26#39;t beat the Westin inside the Galleria.





Mid-priced: Hilton Garden Inn, Staybridge Suites, Residence Inn. There%26#39;s also a Holiday Inn that%26#39;s a former Courtyard by Marriott that%26#39;s been recently remodeled.
