    I didn’t like the atmosphere in the lobby after 10 pm. I wouldn’t recommend coming out of your room after then if you’re not fond of party life. I went to the lobby to grab a sweet snack at about 11:30 pm and wasn’t pleased with all that. But that’s just me and don’t mind getting snacks ahead of time next time.

    The view. The shades to keep light out in the morning. The bathroom. The shuttle. Especially the shuttle! The pool and gym area. I didn’t have time to actually get in or try the gym out. But I did go take a look. And definitely want to go back and try it out when I have more time. The view from that area is also beautiful!

    I honestly do not care for the communal bath amenities tho I know it may be better environmentally friendly. Halls were a bit dark in places. The entry driveway was very dark even after the power came back on. Not sure if it is always like this.

    Excellent location for shopping and entertainment. Very nice lobby and public area. Rooms are nice size. The staff was excellent and doing a great job of handling a power outage which was in progress when I arrived.

    I was placed in an accessible room and the bed was extremely low. I got the feeling the hotel was full so I didn't try for another room but that was the only downside.

    Location was phenomenal. Front desk staff and the bartender were really great.

    Great staff but disappointing physical plant, low grade fit & finish not worthy of JW Marriott brand
    • Business trip
    • Family with young children
    • Queen Room with Two Queen Beds
    • Stayed 2 nights

    I had read some negative reviews about this property before my trip so I was ready to notice things. Generally speaking, most of the criticisms were correct. The physical property is not worthy of the JW Marriott brand. You can hear almost everything from neighboring rooms, especially people peeing and then flushing their toilets. The sounds of people talking in the hallway comes right into your room. The fit and finish of the bathroom was not of sufficient luxury quality to be worthy of the JW Marriott brand. The pool and its surrounding enclosure was severely dated and in need of painting. This building in no way compares to the quality of the JW Marriott in Austin. If you're expecting similar JW Marriott quality in Houston, you're not going to get it. This property should just be a normal Marriott-brand hotel, not a JW Marriott hotel. To get to JW Marriott quality, this property needs a long overdue renovation from top to bottom. We won't be returning to this property until that renovation is completed.

    The staff here were very good to excellent.
