Getting Around
Transportation
Airport transportation for the hotels we have room blocks secured is available via Texans Shuttle for approximately $40 round trip to IAH and $30 to HOU. Transportation to the hotel can be arranged in the baggage claim area upon arrival. Shuttles depart from the hotels approximately once per hour.
Houston is a very car dependent city. It is recommended that you have access to a car if you are not staying in the downtown area.
If you do stay in the downtown area, the Metro Transit Authority recently completed construction on a light rail that connects points downtown with major points of interest including the The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Houston Museum of Natural Science (they have an uber cool butterfly exhibit, IMAX theater and Planetarium), Texas Medical Center (let's hope you don't need to visit it!), Rice University (Jen's Alma Mater), the Houston Zoo, and the Astrodome/Reliant Park. A day pass allowing you to get on and off multiple times for 24h on the MetroRail and all buses costs just $2.
