We stayed here because we were going to the Texans game, and this hotel was walking distance from the stadium. We figured we could leave the car at the hotel and save on stadium parking. They closed off their parking lot and told us it was due to construction. We were lucky enough to get one of the few spots next to the hotel, and we left the car there all weekend to make sure we had a place saved for the game. On game day, the back parking lot was set up for an elaborate tailgate party. There was no construction, and many paying guests of the hotel were out of luck as far as parking was concerned. If you are looking for a hotel close to the stadium for game day, there are probably better choices than this.
