Hotel Near Houston Ikea
Hello! I'm thinking about planning a trip from Austin to Houston for a long anniversary weekend--first weekend of April. We've talked about driving over there for a shopping trip to Ikea, but never have so this is as good of a reason as any. I'd like to stay one night near Ikea just for convenience. Can anyone recommend a nice hotel? Thanks in advance!

If it's for your anniversary you should definitely stay in the Galleria area. Hotel Derek is a funky hotel oriented toward to 20-30 year old crowd, and you also have every brand of hotel imaginable in the Galleria area, which is a short drive from IKEA. If you want a downtown experience and want to go for dinner and drinks, you could try Hotel Icon and then hit IKEA on your way out or into town. It's on I-10 less than a mile west/outside of the 610 west loop.

Hello:
I stayed at the Dallas Galleria Westin December 2003, and I dont recommend you stay there. It's convenient if your going to the Galleria but its not nice. Its very old and needs remodeling and new carpets, i guess. The corridors and rooms have a funcky smell to them. ITs not a Westin quality hotel in my opinion. The beds are nice and so is the shower bur everything else is pretty much rundown (for the price).
