( 713-521-0060; www.extendedstayamerica.com ; 2330 Southwest Fwy (I-59); ste $89-105; ) Sure
this is a multistory, interior-access chain motel on the freeway. But it's a decent one, in a
great location. Nothing is a far drive, and the restaurants of Upper Kirby and those of Rice
Village are just a couple miles away. Rooms are all-suite so you get a kitchenette in each -
bonus.

semipermanent residents and backpackers. A friendly, eccentric staff and worn '70s fur-
nishings lend the place a throwback hippie feel. It's an easy walk to Houston's major mu-
seums and light rail.
