$$$
Closest big hotel to the stadium on Booking's list, 2,200 feet, with the Texas-shaped lazy river and a sports bar. 8.5 on 554 reviews. It anchors the convention-center end of downtown, so the walk east to the gates is short and flat.

$$
Best value within a ten-minute walk: 8.7 on 621 reviews, breakfast included, an outdoor pool, and about a third of the Marquis's starting rate on Booking. 2,650 feet to the stadium.

Budget
$
Cheapest room on Booking's list for the stadium, and only a few dollars under the Hampton, so the saving is thin. 8.0 on more than 3,400 reviews. From 1085 Rusk Street it is about a mile east on foot, past the Astros' ballpark, to the gates. Check recent reviews before booking.

The money play
The first demand spike hits when a home game becomes possible: a series lead, a clinch scenario. Lock a free-cancellation room in Downtown Houston before certainty, while prices are still normal.
The second, much bigger spike lands the moment the date is official, usually days before the game. Rooms near Shell Energy Stadium go first, then demand ripples outward through Houston.
If your team doesn't get the game, cancel before the cutoff. It costs nothing. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is the main airport, roughly 30 minutes from the venue by car in normal traffic. Expect longer on game days.
Most visiting fans stay in Downtown Houston, EaDo, Midtown or Montrose. The stadium is in EaDo a 10-minute walk east of downtown hotels, and the METRORail Green and Purple lines stop right outside, so stay downtown and skip the stadium lots.
Book a refundable rate the moment a home game becomes possible, even before the matchup is official. Playoff-round dates firm up only days in advance and prices jump immediately, so a free-cancellation booking made early beats waiting every time.
