Haven't been to Houston in years. We're looking at hotels west of downtown on Katy Freeway or the Southwest Freeway. Just looking forward to Pappasito's again. Those areas should work, correct? The hotels near the medical center are pretty expensive and some charge for parking. Any other things to update us on? Keep in mind I'm closer to 60 than 50. Wonder if Rick's Cabaret is still around. Houston's much higher class version of the Mons in Tampa back in the 80's.
I recommend any hotel near the Metro Rail. Can take it to Reliant to downtown to other parts of Houston and only costs a couple dollars. http://www.ridemetro.org/Services/Rail.aspx
My wife looked up tickets on Stub Hub and it shows the game is at the OCS.
I'm not sure why. At worst, call UH on Monday - http://www.uhcougars.com/tickets/hou-tickets.html
