Personal note from Val - Where to Stay

If you are coming in from out of town, you'll want to stay in North Houston. There are many AirBnB and VRBO stays for larger families that want to stay together. The family (aside from Val) all live near The Woodlands. The family/friend gathering will take place at a restaurant near there.

The areas you'll want to look for hotels will be along I-45 from The Beltway 8 loop, north up towards the Woodlands. If you look for AirBnB and VRBO lodging, I would stick around the Spring and The Woodlands areas. There are also some decent places near Vintage Park or the Willowbrook areas, but you will be further from the airport (but closer to the funeral).
