• The room was nice.
• The whole lobby area of the hotel was under construction.

“The whole first couple of levels of the hotel are completely blocked off and under construction. There was no restaurant due to this and we were forced to use a small back entrance to enter and leave the hotel. There was only one small concierge desk near this back entrance for check/in and service. Luckily I was only staying for one night and was not in the hotel often. If I had booked this hotel for a vacation with my family I would have been extremely upset about the condition of the hotel and the level of construction that was going on. This was a major renovation that greatly affected the access and features of the hotel. It would have been nice to have been warned of this prior to booking.”

“The rooms were nice but small. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was very nice and accommodating. It was hard to find the entrance and finding the parking entrance was not intuitive.”

“Overall I was very pleased with our experience. But the hotel staff was very friendly, did not give us any problems and found us a king sized bed upon request. Very clean and extremely nice hotel for the price. I would go back.”

• They provided a shuttle service to the immediate surrounding area at no charge.
• It was not within walking distance to anything of interest. It was also in the medical district and had many ill occupants people staying there.

“The Marriott Houston medical center had fairly good service and a friendly staff. Anyone looking for a leisurely visit to Houston should seek a hotel with a better location though. This location was not close enough to any interesting areas of town, and was in fact smack dab in the middle of several hospitals.”

• Location.
• Restaurants didn't open until 0630-need earlier in Houston-traffic.

“Hotel was as expected for Marriott, clean, great beds and linens. The location is great for anyone needing access to the hospitals. Being in Houston & at medical center, one needs to have access to breakfast by 0530 or 0600 in order to travel in Houston traffic and arrive by 0800. The staff I encountered, other than the late night waitress in the Fannin Sports Bar, was rude and appeared to be bothered by my presence and requests for them to perform their hired jobs.”

• Ice machine and coke machine was not working. Breakfast buffet was too expensive.

“As a whole the hotel was well worth the money spent. However, the price for drinks and food were over priced. I do plan to stay at this hotel once again in the future. Only for the same rate as before.”

• Beds were great - comfy, well appointed.
• Elevators were miserable - slow with most out of service.

“Hotel was okay, focused on Medical stays. Elevators were an ongoing problem; only one of the 4 passenger elevators worked (took 21 minutes to get an elevator to check out) and the elevators from the garage were scary - dark, in a corner, and filthy. Not a good first impression of the hotel.”

• Updated bedding.
• Smells funny, cold showers, and parking is a hassle.

“This hotel is great based simply on the location. It is right in the middle of the medical center. However, parking at this hotel is really bad. They should have complimentary guest parking, but it is currently $9. The rooms are pretty nice, but the TV is just sitting on a dresser rather than being inside an armoire, which does make the TV seem out of place in the room. Bathrooms are updated, although one of the nights I was there I only got cold water. It also smells kind a funny in the public areas which was a turn off. Overall this hotel was good based on its great location, but it could have been much better.”

• The convenient location to the Metro rail.
• The internet service was very expensive.

“The room was nice, a bit small, but a great location for my purposes. However, the internet service was a little on the expensive side ($3.50 for 10 minutes or $9.95 a day). I only needed the check one e-mail, so it was a little outrageous for me. Even the business center internet access was this cost. Most 3-star and above hotels have free internet service.”

• Most comfortable beds and bedding of any hotel I've every used.
• Free wireless Internet is standard at Days Inn and similar hotels and this hotel charges $10 for it! Absurd!

“Marriott Medical Center is a lovely hotel in a great location. It is ideal for those who have a family member in hospital, having a bridge directly to Methodist Hospital. The rooms are attractive and the beds very comfortable. A drawback: wireless Internet is not offered, and guests must pay $10 for plug-in Internet service. Wireless is a standard feature at other hotels, including budget chains. A very nice hotel, but more costly than expected with parking fees ($9) and Internet use if needed.”

• The hotel did not have its own parking did not expect to have to pay for parking and the smell of the dry cleaners onsite was very prominent in the lobby.

“The hotel was nicely appointed. Very convenient for individuals that was visiting loved ones that may be in the many hospitals in the area. Many nice attractions close by. Housekeeping did not attend room during my stay and it was necessary to request additional towels for our stay.”
