Houston Airports

Any suggestions on hotels/motels by IAH? Nothing fancy. Thanks.

Sheraton. Clean, quiet, good breakfast, reliable wake-up call, shuttle to airport.

Be careful, there are some hotels I won't stay in that are cheaper right by the airport. I don't feel safe in them, and they can be very noisy and just nasty/dirty, etc.

There are several recent winning bids for 3* IAH zone on Priceline for about $32-35. Usually the Marriott Greenspoint (not the one inside the airport) or the Wyndham. I believe both have shuttle, but not very frequent.

rkkwan, could they get a cab at the time they want to go to the airport from those hotels? If so, the cab should be inexpensive for that distance (about 5 miles, right?) and that is a great rate!

Yes, a cab should be possible. Check the websites of the hotels listed in biddingfortravel.com and see what they say is the taxi rate or distance.

While cabs from IAH have a zone rate, one can also be charged the meter rate, whichever is less.

BTW, these following zones have no 3* on Priceline:

Clear Lake, Conroe, Cyfair, Houston East, NW-Willowbrook, & Humble

With 6 free rebid zones, one get many many possible free rebid combinations. Hard to overbid if one knows what he/she's doing.

Daughter used to be a FA out of Houston. The cheap airport hotels have shuttles. I can't remember the one she used a lot but when the Super Bowl was in Houston we got rooms there for a song compared to what everyone else had to pay!!
