Food and Drink Options

Start the day right with a buffet or American-style breakfast — especially appreciated after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, the hotel’s central location puts you within walking distance of dozens of downtown dining spots. Some suites include full kitchens, making it easy to cook or snack on your schedule. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the nearby food options more than make up for it.

Nightlife Options

This hotel doesn’t feature its own bar or live music, but you’re in the thick of downtown Houston’s nightlife. Walk to bars, lounges, and rooftop spots near Discovery Green or catch an after-party at one of the nearby clubs.

What People Say

Guests consistently highlight the friendly staff, clean and spacious suites, and prime location near the Toyota Center and downtown attractions. Reviewers love the convenience of having a kitchenette, especially for longer stays or group trips. Many mention how surprisingly quiet the rooms are, even in the middle of downtown.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is available but comes with a fee, and some guests mention that the parking garage can be a bit tight. The building itself shares space with other Marriott properties, which can make check-in slightly confusing for first-timers — but once inside, it’s smooth sailing.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Houston for a concert, the Residence Inn by Marriott Houston Downtown/Convention Center blends location, comfort, and convenience for a stress-free stay close to the action.
