How can I get cheap hotels in Houston?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Houston

If you're looking to travel to Houston on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $42. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $159. Staying a short amount of time in Houston is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Houston, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Houston, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Houston, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

5/5 Excellent

"The place was classy. The pool and whirlpool were so nice, clean and relaxing. There was a lovely view and the outdoor area was great. The breakfast buffet was excellent. It was a bit of a walk to lobby from parking lot and the signage could have been better but other than that, no complaints at all. Great beds, service and cleanliness!"

A true 4 star property

"Clean rooms. A true 4 star. Booked a kitchenette and just had to request cooking pots/utensil’s etc. A true 4 star property. We parked in the lot directly across the street and paid through their app for in/out privileges throughout our 6 night stay. Free filtered water on our floor was well utilized as well as the complimentary coffee, tea, etc. in the lobby. Rooms secure as you must tap your card in the elevator to access the floors. Comfy beds and walkable to the convention center. "
