The hotel itself is beautiful and perfectly situated downtown, with plenty of places you can walk to, and it offers a shuttle to take you anywhere within a 2-3 mile radius. But the real stars of the hotel are the staff! From guest services, valet, and housekeeping to the restaurant staff, they were all wonderful, especially Shola, who kicked off our stay!

I needed a shuttle from Hospital to hotel, sat down stairs while my love one is in ICU for 40 minutes then I called after Dwight didn't show said he would be on his way and never showed the 2nd time. Very disappointed and will not stay at this hotel because Holiday Inn has shuttle and they have never left us high and dry

The Shuttle service/valet team is absolutely amazing here. Sebah, Tevi, Dwight, JJ, and JoJo do an especially great job. They make every Rider feel as if they’re the most important person of the day. The entire team does a fantastic job.

I had a nice 2 night stay at the Houston Intercontinental Hotel in the Medical Center. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and the housekeeping team does an exceptional job. Special thanks to Yasmin at the front desk, who was gracious, kind, and professional. The location is great, with very close walking proximity to MD Anderson Main, which was very convenient.

Really disappointed with my check-in experience. I asked to confirm a king bed, but the front desk rep and his manager, Jonah, both said it wasn’t possible and that everyone in our group was getting queen beds. Minutes later, two people from my group were checked into king rooms — even though I was told the hotel was sold out.
To make it worse, I checked online and could still book a king room for the same nights, so what I was told wasn’t true. I almost booked it myself just to get what I asked for.
This is the second time I’ve had this same issue at this location, and both times I’ve left feeling singled out and treated differently than others in my group. The pattern is concerning, especially when the guests who got king rooms were white.
I hope management looks into this, because it shouldn’t keep happening.
