What on earth are marriott playing at with the new 'grab and go' breakfast concept?

on business I like a breakfast that is fresh, good for me and sufficient for me to work all day without lunch. So, a cooked, low carb meal with fresh fruit and coffee and I am ready to go.

Enter some clown in Marriott (who I use by choice and normally really like) who decides to change the whole 'breakfast experience' and that allows you to only order some stodgy cake or a badly cooked egg or a cup of composted genetically modified mush that passes off as fruit.

absolutely terrible. change it guys or I move my business hotel of choice.

I have stayed at this hotel several times during the past 5 years. It had been a couple years since my last visit and I was surprised to see how much they had updated the place. They have moved to more modern decor in the rooms and the lobby. As usual, my room was quiet and clean and I had no troubles with room temperature control.

The main issue I have with the redesign is that they have moved to a Starbucks type breakfast service where you stand in a line and then order at the counter and pay. Then you have to wait for your food - sometimes a long wait if you are getting hot breakfast - like eggs. I truly prefer the buffet style breakfast that they had before because you get a large variety and it is immediately available with no wait. This is enough of a problem for me that I will look for other options next time I visit Houston.

Some of the previous reviews suggested the hotel was in seriuos ned of an upgrade. Looks like that has just happened; fresh paint, new carpets and furniture. The carpenters and painters were moving out when I checked in. Nice reception and restaurant area for a breakfast. Nice pool area too with a small fitness center in a separate building. Coffe and fridge in the room, and a large Kroger next door and several restaurants within walking distance. What more can you need. Recommended.

Nothing fancy but absolutely fine and good value. The hotel has everything you need. Rooms quite big, clean and good beds. We have stayed in this hotel many times, always on the ground floor looking out into the garden. Not many people use the garden so if you want to relax it is perfect by the pool. The hotel is perfect for a short or longer stay. If you need a fridge in your room they will bring you one. They recently finished renovating the reception area and it turned out really nice. Parking no problem and good location. All staff in hotel very friendly.
