IMO - The hotel itself is clean and up to date. Pricey food and beers, but go out before dark to the gas station and grab some there (Just over a 5 minute walk towards the mall). The entire perimeter has a fence. Not sure how great security is, but its something.
Anyone doing any extended stay near IAH should be somewhere on JFK. At least that way you have much more food and entertainment options, and it's only a quick four minute drive to the TC.
As far as Rick's - it's a place to go. IAH has no shortage of clubs, but if you are in the mood to go out you've gotta find St. James Club. Not that far away, better girls (At least there were when I was there) and an overall nicer place.
