Ah. He says Magnolia, Lancaster, Hilton.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

(I'm going to assume other Marriott properties apply, like Courtyard Inn)
Yup!
She also likes boutique funky hotels too- I think she's requesting Marriott as a starting point 'cause she has no idea how else to start looking.

Nora:
This is in the middle of downtown. [link]
This is a good location, close to downtown, the Galleria, and the Med Center. Easy access to Highway 59 and Loop 610. It might be cheaper than the one located in downtown. [link]
This is practically on top of the Galleria, so she could walk to go shopping. [link]
There are several other locations, but you start to get into the two airport areas, which are not terribly convenient and aren't great neighborhoods.
ETA: Funky boutique? Hmm. Lemme check some things.

SO AWESOME! Thanks, Dana and Daisy.
I swear I don't think I could do half as good a job at work without the Buffista hivemind. Of course, that's balanced out by the timesuck aspect, so... a draw.

This looks interesting. I can't vouch for the hotel, but it's in the Heights, which is very convenient to downtown, and one of the sort of funky antique counterculture areas of the city. [link]
Tripadvisor.com lists some B&Bs/Inns, and they have some reviews available.
This would be a great location and has good reviews: [link]
Here's another one in the Heights: [link]
This is closer to the Museum District: [link]
Without knowing where she's going, I'd say all of these areas should be pretty convenient if she has a car, since there are several major freeways that intersect in or near the center of town.

Hm, that's fairly close to sort of the arts district. There are performing halls down there, the Alley theater, and a movie theater. I would guess the exact neighborhood is probably not the most hopping part of downtown at night, but I'm not sure I've ever actually been that far downtown.
