Other Great Pools at Houston Hotels

These Houston hotels only let their overnight guests swim, but the pools are so great they're worth booking a room for a staycation pool day. Enjoy all the facilities while you have a room booked, stay cool and comfortable poolside, and leave all the towels in a room someone else will clean!
