Tough decision for a hotel in Houston .. I’m between the Hilton Americas and the Lancaster. Both in downtown Houston. Has anyone stayed at either and recommend one over the other? Thank you!

They are on opposite sides of downtown. They have both been renovated in the past three years. Hilton is great. I’ve stayed there for years even after I moved to Houston. Hilton is great if you are going to Toyota Center, the convention center, discovery green, and Pappasitos is a fun Mexican restaurant on the ground floor. The executive floor lounge is great. This hotel is huge! The Lancaster is much older and much smaller. The renovation was a complete overhaul. The location is great if you are going to any of the theaters or want to be close to Market Square park. I’m actually going to lunch at their restaurant tomorrow. If there’s a particular place you are looking to stay around let me know. It’d be easier to give advice.
