Rice Hotel

[UNT 90 Grad]

Who else is going down for the Rice game?  I was going to make a day trip, but am now planning on going down Friday.  Thoughts on places to stay?  I’m thinking about the Houston Marriott Medical Center/Museum District.

I stay there semi frequently when in Houston for work. Nice place and very easy 10 minute walk to the Rice Village and campus.

Last time we went to Rice game was stayed at the Hotel Za Za.  It's a grand old hotel rebranded.  An easy walk to Rice.

Beat Army first.  Then Rice.  Then FAU.

No problem! Hope you have a great trip. Wish I could swing that one too, but I’m cashing my hall pass for CUSA title game.

Hotel ZaZa if you want something that is  nice and close to the game.  Med Center hotels if you are looking for something close to the game but are more budget conscious.  Downtown hotels are more of a happy medium and you can take the train to the game.  Just know that Rice stadium is a healthy walk from the Hermann park train station.  

Also if you are bringing kids there is a ton to see and do at Hermann Park next to Rice.  The museum district, paddle boats, gardens, Zoo, miniature train and so on.

Crown Plaza Houston River Oaks is about a mile from Rice and is very nice.

price wise stay on the west side at the Homewood suites off of sage by the galleria.

it wouldn't be that bad of a drive to Rice Stadium on the back roads.

 

another alum and I are doing a day trip since kick off is at noon.

We're headed down Saturday morning!

Anything within walking distance to Rice Stadium, and to Rice Village, sounds like a winner.  I live in Sugar Land, so no hotel needed. :)

According to meangreensports.com, it's a noon kickoff.  I don't think you'll make it if you wait until then!
