DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
Everything was really nice. However, the beds were so hard it made my back hurt and I spent most of the night tossing and turning. I eventually had to make a pad to sleep on with the extra pillows just to get any rest.

Mint House Houston – Medical Center
Kitchen and laundry were nice. There was slight damage to a wall. Also, check-in instructions were incomplete, leaving out the code to access the building and elevator key. That was resolved easily through a call.

The Reside
Resident met our needs as we were traveling to MD Anderson. The host was excellent and was very accessible. We were in the third floor. There are no elevators and that was a bit challenging for us. However, we will most definitely want to return to Reside for our next MDA visit.
