Your right down the street from "Guns-Point Mall" (Greenspoint Mall), and you have a club name "Rick's Cabaret" that's got a popular buffet right across the hwy.
Seriously, unless you have a set of wheels, there's not an abundant amount of choices in the immediate area/walking distance. If you venture out on foot, I'd be careful walking solo after dark, there's a reason they call that Mall by it's surrogate name.
If they're putting your entire class up there, good chance someone's got a car. With that being the case, lots of choices North/South off I-45 for food/watering.
BTW....Not sure if your a Sushi fan, if so, there's a place with a good "happy hour"/Sushi called Ichiban. It's on the same side of Loop 8 as the Hotel, down towards the mall in a strip-shopping center.
