Ideal for families
The indoor pool and water slide was very popular with parents when it came to entertaining the children. Guests felt the area was safe, and the slide provided hours of fun. Some guests ended up spending the entire day at the slide because the time went so fast.

Stunning central atrium
With the central atrium containing a few pool tables, a hot tub, putt-putt golf course and swimming pool, guests said the vibe was incredible. You will be able to enjoy wide open spaces, and even have the opportunity to order a drink or two.
positive:
Convenience of shuttle
Most guests commented favorably about the complimentary hotel shuttle, saying that they were impressed that it took guests between the airport and hotel anytime of the day or night, and didn't necessarily have to run to a specific schedule.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Served on paper and plastic
Most guests said breakfast was pretty tasty at Grand Texan Hotel and Conference Center, however, the hot steamy dishes were served on paper plates, and you had to eat with plastic knives and forks. Some guests felt this spoilt the otherwise good breakfast.
negative:
The noise was too much
If you happen to get a room nearby to the pool area you might be in for an unpleasant surprise, and a serious lack of sleep. Most guests said the noise was way too much for them, and they requested a change of room.
negative:
Minor cleanliness issues
Dirty diapers were found in the pool area by guests, who also complained about articles like candy wrappers and full trash bins being left behind in the rooms by previous visitors. Many guests actually brought they own sanitizer just in case they needed it.
