Bikes for rent downtown! Combined Suggestions Review

There are 4 bike rental locations in the downtown area (see website) and it's a great way to enjoy the city! You can ride in the midtown/downtown area or venture out to the museum district or follow the bike path to the Heights or from downtown to University of Houston.

Metro bus to/from airports Public Transportation Review

Hotels don't have a shuttle that does but downtown is in between both airports and Super Shuttle can take them from IAH to downtown and then to Hobby for a fee that is less than taxis. If you want the less expensive transportation the METRO bus (#102) runs from IAH to downtown and (#88) runs from downtown to Hobby airport. See www.ridemetro.org for the schedules

Metro bus / train Public Transportation Review

Houston is spread out but if you are staying near the city center (downtown) our local bus system works well. There is also a train that goes from downtown (hotels, restaurants, bars) to the south (museum district, zoo, medical center, reliant park/stadium)
