Always an excellent stay at The Royal Sonesta. Great place to stay near the Galleria area in Houston. I went for work. Breakfast buffet does need improvement. Bar menu has good menu and extra large portions. I will definitely return.

Hilton Houston Plaza/Medical Center
Great room and super friendly staff. Breakfast each morning was a huge plus. The only complaints would be the lack of service on the tv and $20/day for parking. Overall very nice stay.
