WhyGoNow? Because everything is “over the top” in Houston, Texas. Think steak, rodeos, BBQ, bourbon & ride m cowboys. Southern hospitality that never quits. Slick oil men to divert your attention. The largest city in Texas has 3 separate skylines & multiple personalities (just like us.) No matter your transportation mode – metro, cowboy boots, space ship or a hot GTO car,”touch down” in Houston.
Does being married or single influence Where2Stay? Location, cost, size & child friendly all play a part. Do you want your hotel, hip & modern with sexy dark lounges, a DJ spinning “singles” on the roof? Or do you prefer a quiet, elegant & romantic hotel? Sometimes you might want to “marry” the two which is the hardest to find. You will see an M (married), S (Single), or an MS (married/single) next to each hotel.
