The Moran CITYCENTRE

I am a Houston native and lived there for 18 years growing up. I was returning to town for my high school reunion, so I know the city VERY well. I've always thought of Houston hotel options as, frankly, pretty dismal — typically you're paying 300-400+ per night for a super weak/unimpressive Marriott or other chain. When I came across this boutique hotel in City Center, I decided to go for it. It exceeded EVERY expectation and was an absolutely phenomenal hotel in every way. The staff was excellent, the location can't be beat — and especially if you're a visitor, it offers the very rare (for Houston) access to walkable shops and restaurants — and the room was giving 5-star luxury hotel. The common areas in the lobby, restaurants, and pool were absolutely stunning. I'll never stay anywhere else in Houston again.

If you travel to Houston and are looking for a place to stay where you have a good selection of restaurants and shopping within walking distance from the hotel, I would highly recommend looking at the Citycentre where Beltway 8 intersects with I10. In this area, The Moran is an excellent option to stay. I have used this hotel for 10+ years and always come back. The hotel was a little bit "shinier" some years back, but the package of location, facilities, restaurants and hotel quality is hard to beat in Houston.

The Moran is in an excellent location. It's located in the heart of top rated restaurants,coffee shops, shopping, and things to do. The hotel is beautiful and clean, with spacious rooms and bathrooms. I loved that the shower pressure was great with hot running water. Also glad that the shower had a barrier between floor and walk in shower (many hotels don't have this which leads to water on the floor outside of the shower). Room comes with a refrigerator, coffee maker, additional toiletries. No microwave, but that was no worries. If you're looking for a beautiful hotel, great location where you can avoid Freeway to go to other attractions nearby this is for you!

Very nice hotel, very clean. Room was very spacious, clean, bed comfortable and pillows were perfect. Air conditioning did not disappoint. Did not visit pool area. Multiple stores to shop at and multiple places to eat within walking distance we did not have to take the vehicle off the premises until check out. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Always loved the location. They have done a great work with the renovation and its even better to stay at the hotel. Always clean and the most spacious rooms I have seen.
