The hotel was out of regular kings so they gave me a handicap room with a king bed. Well, sadly, the showers in these rooms are in notroiusly poor condition. So it was with this one. I mean there is no way the shower head would stay in one position, constantly sliding down the makeshift clamping arrangement maintenance had unsuccessfully jury-rigged to save a buck.

I had already unpacked and it had been a 15 hour day, so I just wasn't going to make noise about this, having to move to another room. Plus, it was a one-nighter anyway. I just get really PO's when this kind of stupid stuff happens at a Marriott chain hotel. Hey Marriott, I'm a Platinum member. Spend $50 and install a decent shower for the next guest.

I've stayed in this property before and the stay was fine.

I was impressed by this hotel. Yes, it's lacking the frills of the pricier options and the rooms are a little dated. However, my room and the lobby were absolutely spotless (which is the most important thing to me). The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and it seems like the cleaning staff does a thorough job. The management was also excellent. The staff was polite, immediately responsive to all my questions, and seemed to be well-organized. The breakfast buffet was a nice perk---hot food and a waffle bar in addition to the typical continental breakfast options.

Been to this hotel before with the family and had a great suite in a higher floor.
Hotel is great in higher floors.

This time I ended up in floor 2 and I felt I was in a different hotel. (This time I got a great reat, now I know why.)

I was in room 228. Horrible bed, old saggy mattress and musky old carpet.. The TV remote did not work and the TV changed channels on its own every 20 minutes. Is 228 a haunted room?!

I did not wait to find out. I was moved immediately to room 217. Room was slightly better, mattress still old and saggy.

On the plus, breakfast is ok and complimentary. Staff is great. Great location close to the airport (HOBBY.)

We had a very nice experience at this hotel. The rooms and lobby were all very nicely decorated and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the linens and bath towels were of a nice quality. We enjoyed the extra space that the suite provided and it was great to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The staff could not have been nicer--very helpful when it came to questions about the computer in the lobby and area restaurants. We took advantage of the complimentary shuttle to return our rental car the night before our flight, the shuttle driver came to pick us up from the rental car place and then drove us to a restaurant (they provide a list at the front desk of area restaurants for which they will provide transportation) and then came back to pick us up. The shuttle driver could not have been more pleasant! We also used the elliptical, the stair climber and the weights in the exercise room and they were all in good working order. There was also a treadmill and a few other pieces of equipment which we didn't use, so can't comment on. One of the earlier reviews mentioned a bad smell, but we did not notice that anywhere during our stay. The breakfast buffet had a very nice selection--make-your-own waffles, fruit, yogurt, muffins, hard-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausage and biscuits for make-you-own breakfast sandwiches, bread and bagels for toasting, cereals and hot oatmeal in a crock pot-type cooker. We were there with seven members of our extended family and everyone was able to find something that they liked. It's not restaurant quality, but for a hotel buffet, it was very nice. The area is more industrial, but I (50-year-old woman) did not feel unsafe in the parking lot at night. I was responsible for making the reservations for our whole group and everyone thanked me at the end of the trip for finding such a great hotel near the airport. It really was perfect for our needs. Two items worth mentioning for the business traveler: The "business center" is one computer and printer in an alcove in the lobby. My brother was unable to get the wireless internet access on his I-POD, when he asked someone at the front desk, he was told it only worked for laptops--so if that is something you need you might want to call and ask about it ahead of time.
