Houston I-45 Fairfield Inn & Suites NOW OPEN
On September, 12th, 2008, Hurricane Ike slammed into the Gulf Coast, shredding buildings, flooding streets, and knocking out power for millions of people. With winds reaching 110 miles (177 kilometers) an hour, Ike came ashore over Galveston, Texas, as a strong Category 2 storm just after 3 a.m. EST.
The massive storm, nearly as big as Texas itself, moved over Houston before dawn, blowing out windows and scattering documents from skyscrapers such as the 75-story Chase Tower, the state’s tallest building. According to the Associated Press, Ike was the first hurricane since Alicia in 1983 to land a direct hit on Houston and it resulted in the closings of three of our Texas hotels. The Houston I-45 Fairfield Inn, Houston I-10 Fairfield Inn and the Texas City Hampton Inn have been closed since the hurricane.
After many months of hard work and dedication by employees and management, we are pleased to announce that the first of these properties just re-opened for business on Tuesday, May 18 with a complete renovation inside and out and now proudly displays the all new Fairfield Inn & Suites flag!
