From La. Love the feel of the city
It was clean.
I am from this area but have moved to Georgia to be with my daughter and family. I travel back a couple times per year for medical appointments at MD Anderson. Pearland was home for over 20 years and I'm always glad to come back and have a good place to stay.
Personnel was very accommodating and the hotel was clean. We were able to check a little bit early as well. Thank you.

Pearland is a nice area. Everything was so convenient. You didn't feel like it was Houston. Loved it!
Being that we had younger children in our group we took advantage of many of Pearland's parks and playgrounds. They were very nice. We also did much shopping in the many various malls and dined out at various restaurants. The local map of Pearland helped us find our way around.
