Multiple Houston-area hotels were ranked among the best places to stay in Texas. This information comes courtesy of Yelp, the crowd-sourced review website we’ve all turned to for recommendations at one point or another.

Yelp mined its data to determine which Lone Star State hotels were most associated with vacations and getaways then ranked the accommodations based on the total volume and ratings of reviews, among other factors. The final product -- a handy list of the 100 top Texas hotels perfect for a staycation, weekend getaway or summer sojourn.
