Your Guide to Houston That Doesn’t Suck

It’s a hotel, and you’ll have a bed. But everything East of town toward Channelview and Baytown is a shitty meth den. When I started out in criminal defense every other call was from a meth head in Baytown wanting to pay their $10,000 fee through $100 increments on cash app.ExtraChrisB said:Should I cancel my reservation at the Holiday Inn in Houston East? Booked it Monday night just to get something in place, but can cancel up til Saturday
You won’t get killed or anything. Just not where the regular Houstonians stay or go.

I echo the AirBNB sentiment. For instance you can book this house near my neighborhood for like $200/night and it’s a $20 Uber to downtown where you can take the Metro to the stadium. I actually booked this one for my parents a couple months ago.EsophagealFeces said:
Airbnb seems to be the way to go, especially if you have other people you’re staying with. My buddies and I are going to be paying $50 a night apiece for a nice place, and we’ll all have our own bedsExtraChrisB said:Should I cancel my reservation at the Holiday Inn in Houston East?

Lots more like it. Neighborhoods like Oak Forest, West U, the Heights, Rice Military, Rice Village have lots of options. I just bring up Oak Forest because it’s safe and I can tell you how much it costs to Uber (it’s a 12 minute drive from my house to my downtown office; 30 or so to Reliant depending on traffic).

I’ve used Turo quite a bit. Love it for Hawaii especially because you don’t look a dumbass tourist driving a Jeep or convertible Mustang.Postal91 said:
I just had someone push Turo to me. The AirBnB of car rentals. Looks like you just rent people's personal fleet cars and away you go. Intrigued by this, especially in avoiding lines.Purple_Pills said:Postal91 said:
Is Costco the way to go with rentals?? Never checked there. May grab oneEsophagealFeces said:Is renting a car a necessity? My buddies are planning on ubering everywhere, but that seems like it would get stupid expensive in a huge area like Houston. I can rent a full size car through Costco for like $250 for the 4 days I’ll be there. Seems like a no brainer
YES! No cancellation until day of rental plus they have awesome customer service if you get screwed (*cough* Avis, Budget) by not renting through Enterprise/National/Alamo, which you can through Costco, though may be slightly more expensive than the less reliable rental companies. -

You're right in the middle of Montrose. I won't comment on what that means for your chances of being raped.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:Just looked up the location of our Airbnb. I’m on Westheimer a block away from Taft St.
Lots of food and drink in walking distance. My wife likes Traveler's Table, a restaurant a block or so from you.

$200/night split 4 ways = $50 apiece.rivercitybridie said:$50 on AirBnB for multiple rooms in nice place?
My AirBnB experience has been most places are comparable in cost to 3.5-4 star downtown hotels
I must be doing something wrong.
I noticed enormous gap in Houston prices for 4 star and 2 star hotels. In vancouver, canada, the 2-star prices go crazy many times in the summer and shoulder season
The gap in Houston seems to be $60 to $1200 (even higher)... Here if top hotels were $1200, 2 star, descent location would $225 so. Vegas is similar to around here. Get strip hotel comically cheap ($15 plus fees... Becomes $170 to $200 plus fees many weekend nights) -

I feel like you put your location out there just to lure me into a rape trap. Is it weird that I’m hard right now?CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
