George R. Brown Convention Center reviews
16Bathrooms are clean ac is good, stuffs are perfectional, other than the food are super overpriced, but it is what it is
Parking downtown is a nightmare. Nothing happens at the Convention center that isn't huge.so be prepared for intolerance, disrespect, and a whole Lotta waiting in lines.
$25 per day parking is ridiculous. Come in Houston. What are you thinking. Why do you have to screw exhibitors and attendees who come to visit? Do you really think we ever want to come back after being treated lime this? Traffic, hotel cost, food costs. Downtown is not a welcoming nor fun place to visit all all!
They need signs to let delivery drivers know where to go. The guard at the gate was very helpful but getting to the gate was a challenge.
Great venue but restrooms were a nasty mess, water on floors, out of toilet paper and this was in most restrooms, ugh! This during Comicpalooza.
Went there for Comicpalooza and it was fun! The venue here is huge! The staff was pretty friendly (those who I interacted with). It’s in an easy location to find Downtown Houston.
I was here as a volunteer for the Houston Sports Authority. The Junior Olympians were competing and it was great to be able to assist this way. I haven't been here since the I volunteered for the Houston Super Bowl, it aas great.
I worked this past weekend at Comicpalooza. It was an awesome experience! I've never seen so many happy people dressed up in their favorite comic costumes. Definitely want to do it again.
Was there for comic palooza selling artwork and the convention staff was so nice. Every person that I met that worked for the convention hall themselves were just fantastic people the location was huge it's so nice!
Great place for events with plenty of scenery around the event center for lots of picture opportunities. Parking was reasonable and close
We came for the Dr Seuss Experience. It was cute, but I have no children (tho I still am one at heart), so the experience was a little lackluster. I was able to walk the area in 15 minutes. Which super sucks cause it took me 4 hours to get to Houston. The lighting was nothing like the display photos online. Which sucked, cause it made a lot of my pictures look so oddly distorted.
Went for Comicpalooza. The 3 stars is the lack of ANY temperature checks, counting crowd capacity inside by allowing it to be WAY overcrowded. No masks no temp checks at door, no crowd control and did not see many areas with hand sanitizer. Stayed for a few vendors, photo ops with props and that's about it. GRB should have better regimen for staying safe. I work at a hospital. Seeing this indoor venue packed to over capacity and no masks or anything. There still is a pandemic and although CP has been fun in the past. More precautions need to be taken foe your indoor events no matter what they may be.
Easy to find and they have signs all over which makes it hard to get lost. I spent a lot of time walking from where I parked, but I think that was on me for not parking closer. They have a Starbucks inside too.
I love coming here for conventions and recently ComicPalooza. The staff and security are courteous and everything is well run!
A great exhibit space. Not so great parking. Walking to GRB is like roasting over a fire in July. I consider coming here a drag on events I see here. No shuttle services, or direct parking.
Love this convention center. I go to comicpalooza every year and the staff is always kind and helpful. They have plenty of rooms for different panels and lots of food options. Also the cosplays are 10/10 every year. To clarify, this is not me in the photo lol
