hi stros fan im going to houston sept 7 going to monday the 10tth game need to know what aera downtown to stay in for night life resteraunts and game. what to see and do thak you for any info

The Cubs is dead.

There is a fair amount to do around the stadium, I don't know how much it is because I used to live there and just had a few beers before and maybe a burger.

so whats your point

Ignore the rude guy.

I live in Austin so I can not tell you where to stay, I am sure one of the other posters will be able to help you out. If not use citysearch.com and they should have info on the night life.

The Cubs actually stay at the Four Seasons down the street.

Inn At The Ballpark, Four Seasons, or The Hilton Americas are all nice and very close to Minute Maid. Most of the nicer downtown restaurants and entertainment venues are close as well. Our downtown area is very small compared to Chicago, so nothing is going to seem far away to you.

When I get to work in the morning, I'll see if I can post a few links.

I come to Houston once a month for an Astros weekend and always stay at the Inn at the Ball Park its just across the street from the stadium and really a nice hotel. Ask for directions and have dinner or lunch at Ninfas on Navigation Street they have some pretty good Tex Mex. Take the tour at Minute Maid it last around an hour and is pretty informative about the history of the park. Houston also has a great tunnel system under downtown that has shopping and restaurants also, all with in a few blocks of the park. Discovery Green is a park just a block or 2 from the ball park and always has something going on. Enjoy the city and your stay in Houston.

thank you all for the info
looking forward to seeing your great city and ballpark

I, for one, hope you are treated the same way I was treated in Chicago as an Astros fan.

If so, you'll have a great trip. I only caught mess from one guy, and the rest of the fans and town were great.

The past two trips I've made to Houston from Arkansas I went on Priceline and ended up at the Hyatt both times for 50 bucks a night. Super rooms for 50ish a night. Walking distance from the park. I know there is a bar or two around the stadium. Can't remember which one we went to but it was three letters.

Here's another nice hotel near the ball park. They have about ten locations around the world and I've stayed in the one in Manhattan recently. Very nice.
