I used hotwire.com and got a 4 star hotel in downtown Houston for $67 per night. The hotel ended up being the Hilton Americas, which has very good reviews. After taxes and all of the other bs tack ons, the room ended up being $170 total for 2 nights. For the rates to still be this cheap on hotwire, I would assume that there are plenty of hotel rooms available, especially downtown. I was told by several friends that live in the Houston area that downtown Houston is where we should stay, and that the stadium and Midtown area are easily accessible by the light rail system. The only question I have now is where we should eat? We would like to do Mexican and/or Steakhouse, with it being Houston.
