Ciao
I will be landing in IAH from AMS with KL663 at 18.55 on 14 august and departing from IAH the day after at 9.35 to HNL.
Any suggestion for a good steak and a not expensive room?
Would love to visit NASA space center but not enough time.
Maybe I will ask for a stopover
Thanks

I presume you're on CO going to HNL. How long do you want to sleep? Are you overnighting on a weeknight? This will give us an idea of how far from the airport to suggest to stay and to eat.

A stopover would be worthwhile if you want to see Space Center Houston.

You would definitely need a stopover if you want to see the Space Center. IAH is on the north side of Houston, and the Space Center is south-east of Houston. If you stay near the aiport, there is a not so expensive Hilton Garden Inn which is very close and usually can be had for low rates.
Other chain hotels abound if you have a preference, (sheraton, marriot, etc)

There are a handful of cheapish hotels close to Space Center Houston as well.

I will most probably stop only for one night.
Thanks for the info!
What about the restaurant for a Texas style meal!?!?

My family & I stayed at the IAH Marriott for one night to catch the a.m. flight to Honolulu.

I looked on-line, found a pretty good deal & I then called the Marriott directly & got a GREAT deal. I think I paid about $109.00 for one night. It was incredibly convenient. Just ride the tram (located below the hotel) right to the airport terminal.

Good luck!

Bull - are you going to have access to a car, or will you be limited to the immediate area of the airport. (Keep in mind that downtown is a good 30 mins from IAH with no traffic)

What's your idea of "Texas style?" Tex-mex? Steak? Barbecue?

I just returned from Houston jast night. I stayed in Conroe near family so didn't have much for choices , but stayed at the Baymont ( first time ever for this brand) Clean, comfortable with all the conveniences ( dorm size fridge, microwave, free breakfast etc.) for $75 night.
That being said, I had a wonderful surprise when I stayed the last night at the Holiday Inn Express airport on Will Clayton PKwy. Wanted something close to airport as I had an early flight
Started with a beautiful lobby, and wound up with a great King Suite ( a real suite, not a bedroom with a couch) Really! check this one out. Rate about $105 per night. This is regular rate, not a special. This room was as nice as many of the upscale hotels. I have stayed in.You won't regret this choice, if you can stay in this area.

tex-mex or steak!
Will not have a car.

I wanted to ask something similar because I am going to stay overnight from 27 to 28 of February on my way to UIO. Is the Super 8 any good? I could not find many reviews of the property.
Other question ( may sound stupid for people who have been at IAH). Is there a Bank of America ATM at Terminal E?
Regards

Is there a Bank of America ATM at Terminal E?

There is definitely one in Terminal C (directly across from one of the PC's). C and E are connected so its accessible if you are in E. There is an ATM in E next to the Metropolitan Museum of Art store, but I cant remember if it was Bank of America or not.

No car? You're not going to Space Center Houston. It's an hour drive from the airport with no traffic. I live near it, so I won't be very helpful for restaurants near the airport. I recommend Pappasito's (Tex-Mex). Locations. I think the Humble location is closest to the airport, but I don't know what the cab ride will cost (I ignore the one in the airport because I don't think it's a full Pappasito's - someone correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe you can luck out with a hotel with complimentary shuttle service.

The B of A ATM finder lists ATMs in Terminal A (two), Terminal B and Terminal D - it's been a quite a while since I've flown through IAH. so I cant vouch for the accuracy of the website results.

Here's the link, for future reference (use 77032 as zip cond, or Humble, TX fot the city):

Space Center Houston is an all day deal if you count in driving time. You will need a total of 2 nights in Houston. You could do one down by NASA (look for hotels/motels on NASA Road One and I-45 South) and one night by the airport. There are plenty of good restaurants near NASA. Astronauts like to eat too!
