That's the language in the CBA. Most of our long layover hotels are located downtown although there are some exceptions. ORD (Rosemont) and IAH (the Galleria) are two examples that come to mind. Although not located downtown technically, they are nice hotels in good locations that have been signed off on by the hotel committee.
Just don't forget to pee, grabs two bottles of water, a meal, freshly charged phone, and saddle up the pack mule for the trip in Houston.
It's a nice hotel that's up to an hour away. Apparently there isn't anything else in the largest city in the second largest state closer to the airport. You know, like Kingwood, Humble, Conroe...
