The Red Roof Inn & Suites Houston–Hobby Airport is strategically positioned at 9902 Gulf Freeway in Southeast Houston, immediately accessible from Interstate 45—one of the region’s primary north-south transportation corridors. The property’s Gulf Freeway location provides efficient connectivity to William P. Hobby Airport, Downtown Houston, the University of Houston, the Texas Medical Center and NRG Park, Port Houston and the Houston Ship Channel, Pasadena’s industrial corridor, Ellington Field, NASA’s Johnson Space Center, and the greater Houston Bay Area. Nearby access to Beltway 8 further enhances connectivity throughout the Houston metropolitan area, while I-45 provides a direct route south toward Clear Lake, League City, Texas City, and Galveston. William P. Hobby Airport is the property’s primary demand generator and is located just minutes from the hotel. Hobby Airport serves approximately 14 million passengers annually and provides nonstop service to numerous domestic and international destinations. Houston Airports and Southwest Airlines are also completing a major $470 million West Concourse expansion, scheduled to add seven domestic and international gates in 2027. This continued investment is expected to enhance Hobby Airport’s long-term capacity and strengthen surrounding lodging demand from airline passengers, crews, contractors, airport employees, and other aviation-related travelers. The hotel is surrounded by a diverse collection of corporate, industrial, educational, medical, military, entertainment, and leisure demand generators. Nearby destinations include Almeda Mall approximately 2.4 miles away, Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base and the Houston Spaceport approximately 5.4 miles away, the University of Houston approximately 7.2 miles away, Port Houston approximately 8.8 miles away, the George R. Brown Convention Center and Downtown Houston approximately 9.5 miles away, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston approximately 11.7 miles away. The Texas Medical Center and NRG Park are also within a convenient drive of the property. These demand generators provide access to multiple lodging segments. The University of Houston enrolled nearly 49,000 students in fall 2025, supporting visitation associated with campus events, athletics, graduations, faculty, and student families. The Texas Medical Center, recognized as the world’s largest medical complex, encompasses more than 1,300 acres and supports approximately 106,000 employees. NRG Park hosts more than 500 events annually, including professional sports, concerts, conventions, trade shows, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Space Center Houston, the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center, welcomes approximately 1.3 million visitors annually. The property also benefits from proximity to the Port Houston and Houston Ship Channel industrial complex, the nation’s largest port for waterborne tonnage. The surrounding southeast Houston and Pasadena corridors contain a substantial concentration of petrochemical facilities, logistics operations, manufacturing companies, construction projects, and industrial employers that generate recurring weekday and extended-stay room demand. Overall, the hotel’s central position between Hobby Airport, Downtown Houston, Port Houston, the Texas Medical Center, NRG Park, NASA, and the Bay Area creates a diversified lodging profile supported by airport, corporate, industrial, construction, medical, university, military, sporting-event, convention, and leisure travelers. This combination of immediate freeway access and proximity to several of Houston’s most important economic and tourism anchors represents a significant competitive advantage for the property.
