Best Hotels with Free Parking in Houston

The Hotel Sorella CITYCENTRE has staked a good reputation among guests and travel experts alike, boasting numerous accolades. It's easy to see why this West Houston hotel is so popular, with its rooftop infinity pool and its sleek and modern (yet still comfy) design aesthetic. Plus, the Monnalisa eatery contains a fireplace and a starlit ceiling. Although its central location adjacent to the CITYCENTRE complex might mean late-night noise, recent guests still rave about the well-equipped and colorful rooms that include complimentary Wi-Fi. If you can, reserve a room on the opposite side of the hotel for a more satisfying slumber.

Serious shoppers (aka shopaholics) should look no further: This Westin, as its name suggests, is not just next to, but actually connected to The Galleria. The hotel even gives guests a complimentary "Passport to Shopping," which contains exclusive coupons for some of the stores. Chances are that if you're staying here, you won't be spending much time in the hotel itself. But if you need a break from mall madness, this Houston property boasts all the Westin classics, including Heavenly Beds and a WestinWORKOUT fitness studio, as well as a pool and the trendy White Oak Kitchen + Drinks restaurant (which is shared with its neighboring sister hotel). Though some guests complain about the high room rates and hefty parking fees, members of the Marriott Rewards programs can save some dough by paying with rewards points.

Sitting around 17 miles west of downtown Houston, this Omni hotel isn't exactly convenient if you plan to do some sightseeing. However, recent guests were surprised by how much they liked this location. Rubbing elbows with Bear Creek Pioneers and George Bush parks, the Omni Houston Hotel at Westside offers easy access to nearby golf courses and jogging trails, and you'll have free use of the hotel's expansive outdoor pool and fitness center. Previous visitors love the newly renovated rooms – decked out in soothing brown hues, plush furnishings and large bathrooms – and common areas. Enjoying a sizzling steak at Café on the Lake (with great views to boot) is another must-do, travelers say. And because of its family ties, the Omni Houston Hotel at Westside participates in the Omni Select Guest rewards program.
