What is the best hotel in Houston, tx "museum district" to stay at?

I am going there with a friend. I need to know the BEST hotel to stay at in the MUSEUM DISTRICT of Houston,Tx that is not going to make me go broke. I prefer the price to not go above 130 a room. I also really want something that is close to the museum and the zoo.

Try the ZaZa Hotel. You can walk to the zoo and the Natural Museum of Science, Butterfly Exhibit, Children's Museum, Museum of Health, and the Japanese Gardens. Don't forget the train and the MetroRail!

I would recommend Crowne Plaza Houston Downtown. This downtown Houston hotel offers a complimentary area shuttle, free High Speed Internet access and a few packages to save money on your trip. Situated just 3 miles from the Houston Museum District, Houston Zoo, and Galleria Mall it will perfectly match your itinerary. Check into getting a city pass to take advantage of discounted rates on the attractions tickets. Have fun on your trip!

Hotel ZaZa. It is THE best hotel to stay at near the museum district. From the hotel, you can get to the museum within 10 minutes and it is near the Miller Outdoor Theater so you can watch outdoor concerts almost daily. It's a very posh, upscale hotel so i highly recommend staying there, no matter what the price.

Hotel ZaZa Houston is at walking distance to zoo and most of te museums. If you are looking for the price range check the other hotels near to museum district.
