Inn at the Ballpark, A Luxury Hotel by Landry's, Houston

The rooms are great and the location is great; HOWEVER, the service really stinks. I was there on a business trip and booked Inn at the Ballpark for its proximity to the George R. Brown Convention Center. They apparently have only 1 shuttle driver at a time. The first morning I had to walk, in a complete dress suit, fifteen minutes to the GRB because the driver was in a meeting. Of course, it was already in the mid 90s at 9 a.m. when I needed to get to the GRB for my meetings. So I arrived all sweaty and hot. The second morning I had requested a 6:00 a.m. wakeup call--it came in at 6:20, without any apology for being late. Then, there were NO shuttles available to take me to my meetings. The hotel ended up using the Lincoln Town Car to transport 3 people at a time to the GRB. I had also requested to get my car out of valet parking (the only parking available) at 7 a.m. so I could load my luggage before heading off to my meetings. At 7:30, after noticing that 2 other cars had been retrieved, I asked the front desk to retreive my car once again. My car finally arrived at 7:35. On the note of the valet parking--they basically take your car to an open-air parking area behind the hotel--there is no fence, no barriers, just a simple curb between the parking lot and the street--in Downtown Houston. I received no apologies from the staff or management for the lack of shuttle service or for the other items mentioned. If you are there on vacation and have plenty of time, then it would be fine. But since the only close attraction is Minutemaid Park, unless you're a baseball fan, I see no other reason to stay at this location. I will not stay there again. When the next convention goes to the GRB, I'll be at the Hilton (attached to the GRB) or at the DoubleTree.

My parents, husband and I had planned a fun weekend, we were going to stay at the Inn at the Ballpark and then go to the Astros game. However, when we got to the hotel they had given our room away (we had made reservations about 2 months in advance) because someone else had decided to extend their stay. They sent us to a hotel that was about 7 or 8 blocks away from the ballpark. We were so looking forward to staying here and all they could say was sorry. Really, what will sorry do for us? We all were very disappointed over the entire situation. This must happen alot because they had a formal letter that they handed to us along with a map to other hotels. So basically, reservations mean nothing to this hotel no matter how far in advance you book them!

awesome place however do not bring your kids that was the one bad part of, our vacation besides that it was great awesome place in houston and the astros lost yes im a yanks fan

Desk staff, bar folks and the car porters were great. Right across the street from Minute Maid Park. Fun before and after the game.

WE did not have time to go out of town for vacation. We spent one night here and it was much, much better than if we had gone out of town. The service was great! The atmosphere was a double home run. The shower was so spectacular, we bought another shower head when we got home. We positively, absolutely will return, Yes Indeed!!

We stayed at the Inn At The Ballpark for our 10 yr anniversary and had a wonderfull time. I had never been to Minutemaid Park and decided that we would like to see an Astros game and stay near the ballpark. We got the romamce package which included free valet parking($15) and breakfast buffet(slept late and missed). Apon arriving and checking in, we found a charming "corporate" hotel with a baseball theme. The lobby was open and friendly and centered around the atrium bar. The room was nice with a view of downtown Houston and the concierge had left us a wonderful chocolate covered fruit platter with a handwritten anniversary card. The a/c in the room was the BEST I have ever seen in a hotel( I could not believe how cold my room got). The ballpark was directly across the street and the game was wonderful (they actually won)After the game we relaxed at the lobby bar. The Inn At The Ballpark is geared for corporate travelers, so don't bring the kids. If you want a relaxing evening watching a baseball game and literally feel like you are staying at the park, then this little gem is the hotel for you. We will definitely be returning.

I travel into Houston at least once a month and have tried several hotels. Without a doubt the comfort and service of this hotel beats all the rest hands down. It also was very easy to get onto all the major highways and interstates from this hotel. I will definitely start calling this place home. Friendly, outstanding staff! Great food in cafe at hotel and you can't beat Vic & Anthony's across the driveway from the hotel.

WE LOVED THIS PLACE!The whole place was decked out in baseball mainiea from the entrence to the lobby to the tiny baseball stickers holding the toilet paper flap down. The bed was thick and fluffy like sleeping on a cloud.The room service was excellent,the steak was cooked to perfection,the bannasplit was a great ending to a awsome meal.I CAN'T WAIT TO STAY AGAIN.

The Inn at the BaLLPARK IS IN A GREAT LOCATION! It's just ACROSS THE STREET FROM MINUTE MAID PARK (Home of the ASTROS) and just a short walk away! You should get this hotel! It's right when you get in Downtown, On the corner of Texas & Crawford Street! COME HERE FOR YOUR NEXT SLEEP IN HOUSTON!

It is immaculate and well-kept, and finely appointed. Every detail has been taken care-of and the ambience is outstanding. I would recommend it to anyone who is traveling to Houston.
