Top River Oaks Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Houston - Greenway Plaza

8/10 Good

"The downstairs escalator from the garage is broken so you have to walk up the escalator like stairs. The parking in the garage is expensive and a little complicated. Overall, very nice location and staff. The room was clean enough besides the occasional random hairs."

Kozy Houston North

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing time this is an excellent decision. Everything was clean. The staff was nice including Q and all of the Cleaning staff. They were extra helpful. Great attitudes positivity everything you need was hands-on. The room was clean. The pool area was beautiful and I love that they have a designated area. I enjoyed my stay and I will be staying again."

The Whitehall Houston

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at The Whitehall hotel for my sister’s birthday! Special thanks to Ana Maria, the house supervisor, for welcoming us warmly. The check-in process was smooth and efficient because of her! For breakfast, we were expecting a breakfast buffet but were surprised at the a la carte style and how good it was. Would recommend anyone to stay here!"
