The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria
This is a great hotel, in an excellent location, and a lovely staff. The rooms are a good size and comfortable. The food at the breakfast buffet is very good and worth the cost. My only criticism was that my room obviously had been smoked in at some point in the recent past. It wasn't overwhelming ...
