I have some consulting work coming up in Baytown. Last time I worked in the area I stayed on I-10 near the Baytown exit. I do not want to repeat that mistake. For a guy that will be staying for 4-5 weeks where would you suggest that I stay. I will be eating out every night with some free time every now and again.
TIA

South of 225 on 146 has a ton of places to eat and some good bars. There is a comfort inn (I think) south of spencer hwy on 146 that is 5-10 minutes from all the Kemah/Clear Lake spots.
Hit Boondoggles on Thursdays for boiled crawfish and crab.

Look into La Porte. It's about 5-10 minutes from Baytown and about 10-15 minutes from clear lake/league city/Webster, which is where there are more things to do. I would say stay in Clear Lake but the drive to Baytown with traffic might be a pain in the morning and La Porte is a much easier drive.
FWIW, I grew up in La Porte.

I'd drive the 10-15 miles, clear lake

Pretty good selection of grub and lodging there so I am guessing the crime freaked you out. You are not going to upgrade much with that element anywhere in H-town. I would probably lean toward the Clear Lake area as well but keep in mind, that is somewhat of a drive to Baytown.

Yeah, I'd stay in Kemah/Clear Lake. Make sure to go hit up Gilhooley's in San Leon....damn good chargrilled oysters....and a very entertaining place.

Come on down to Clear Lake...plenty to see and do over here and tons of restaurants. I don't frequent 146 a lot so I can't speak for the traffic on there. I think there were some newer hotels on 146 the last time I was over by 146/225. But, it doesn't seem like there's much to do over there but it's not a far drive to Kemah/Clear Lake.

Actually look up Candlewood Suites or La Quinta in Deer Park. They are Both on East blvd, which is a nice clean street with a ton of new development and would be an extremely easy quick drive. All you would do is take 225 to 146 to Baytown

I lived in mont belvieu for a little while. Everything west of that until Houston is pretty much garbage...

Thanks for the suggestions. I am planning to stay in Clear Lake/Webster it looks like.

Thought the oysters were overrated but it's without a doubt a cool place.

I was drunk so the probably were.
Also check out Nobi House in Clearlake area...supposed to have a great beer selection.

As many have already stated, so south on Hwy 146 down to the Kemah/Clear Lake/NASA area.
The Kemah Boardwalk is a good place to stay. You can walk around every night and there are several restaurants in walking distance or a short drive.
Hilton has a nice hotel over on Clear Lake, but you have to drive to dinner every night unless you eat in the hotel.
You could also get a chain hotel near the boardwalk, which might suit you better for a long stay.

Kemah. It's the slowest part of tourist season so there are alot of lodging deals to be had. Good food and views in Kemah. It would be a 10-15 minute drive to work.

Consulting at Exxon?

Prayers up. Exxon Baytown is a shizhole.

Understand that if you've got normal working hours in Baytown, then commuting to/from Kemah (especially in the evening) is going to potentially be a pain in the arse. I'd offer you a place to stay in League City, but alas, it's a company-owned home.
