As for other accommodations in the area, I found a trick with Google Maps that works. Just go http://maps.google.com/ and type in hotels near Pearland, Texas. To see others near NASA Rd 1 and I-45, type in hotels near Friendswood, Texas.

And, yep, typing in rv parks near Pearland, Texas works, too. The one Glockenhammer mentioned is the Space City RV Park, 301 Gulf Fwy S., League City, TX, (281) 554-8800. Ain't technology grand?

I don't have much, but I can offer what I found.

Probably the nicest for the buck--but not very close to PSC--is:

Springhill Suites by Marriott Houston Pearland
1820 COUNTRY PLACE PKWY PEARLAND, TX 77584
Starting at $116

Closest (I think) are:

Hampton Inn Houston Pearland
6515 WEST BROADWAY STREET Pearland, TX 77581
Starting at $107

Holiday Inn Express Pearland
1702 N MAIN STREET Pearland, TX 77581
Starting at $104

That Holiday Inn Express sits near a railroad track, so locomotive noise is to be expected.

If you're willing to drive just a bit farther, from the other side of I-45, you have a plethora of choices in Clear Lake and Webster, including anything on NASA Rd. 1 and the Hilton (which has some surprisingly low rates) right across from the Space Center.

Hey, bring the family down a day early, see the Space Center on Friday, attend the TXCHL social Friday evening, and have a full day at PSC on Saturday!
