Judy,
Thank you for this helpful information. Is there any reason to prefer one of
the airports. ?
Also, on order to plan the flight home, I would like to know how long a cub or
shuttle takes from the hotel to the airport ?
Happy holiday,
Amalia

METRO BUS www.ridemetro.org 713 635-4000
Houston’s public transportation system is not first class, but it is possible
to take it to get to the hotel. It is highly recommended that you plan ahead
to verify schedules the day you travel.
Hobby Airport- Metro bus
*The #73 Bellfort Crosstown Westbound bus goes to Post Oak and Westheimer.
The bus runs about every 30 minutes from the airport seven days a week.
This stop is about 1/3 mile walk or connect to the #33 on Post Oak north to
the hotel. The #33 runs every 20 minutes during the week and 40 minutes on
the weekend.
It’s likely it will be hot outside, so be advised. * The cost is $2.00 each
way. Travel time is about 90 minutes.
Bush Airport -Metro Bus
*The # 102 bus goes to downtown from Bush, Terminal C. It is necessary to
change at Milam and Rusk for either the #81 bus or #82 bus and get off at
Post Oak and Westheimer. Buses run about every 40 minutes seven days a week.
Travel time is about 2 hours.
You can walk the 1/3 mile north on Post Oak to the hotel or connect to the
#33 bus. Again, with the heat and luggage, be advised.
* The cost is $2.00 each way.
