Recently I have heard that the hotel is not that nice and its also in the ghetto. Anybody stayed there before? Is this information accurate? Should I move hotels? Where is everyone else staying?

Do not stay at the Crowne Plaza Reliant. Place is not very nice and the area around Reliant is the same. It is old and dirty. Rooms are outdated from what it looks like too. Read some of the reviews of the hotel on Trip Advisor and you'd want to stay away. Stay somewhere in the Med Center or Downtown on the Light Rail route.

Stayed there a couple of years ago. It wasn't that nice and there really isn't a lot around there besides Reliant Stadium.

This is actually a renovation of the old Astroworld Hotel. For a wile it was very cool place. Celestial Suites were crazy tacky and cool at the same time.Elvis stayed there (tells you how old it is. Became the Crown Plaza in 2011. Pretty run down now, not very well maintained.

Here's a link LINK /

the crowne plaza off kirby isnt that bad
also look into Double Tree, and Hotel Derek by the galleria depending on your price range. downtown can be a pain in the arse but its by midtown which is where most of the bars are.

My. buddy stayed there for the zac brown band concert and makes good money so he doesn't stay in dumps. We are all going back there for the LSU game. He said there are restaurants and bars we can walk to.

our main goal is to park friday and not have to move a vehicle until Sunday so it's perfect for us

I stayed there on numerous occasions visiting my dad while he was in the hospital near there. I have zero complaints but will admit the parking lot got a little sketchy one night. I am staying there for the LSU/Wisconsin game. It's an easy walk to and from the stadium.
