Recently, visited the Houston area. Stayed at the Courtyard Marriot - nice, friendly, staff. Nice relaxing stress free weekend after returning from the second family funeral within two weeks.

Just a quick review - I booked this hotel on the internet. Have stayed here 10 plus times in the last five years and this property had ranked as one of my favorite Courtyards. The lobby area is non-existent. Construction barricades everywhere. Difficult to navigate to rooms around the construction. There was nothing on the internet indicating any of this renovation was occurring. If you are staying in your room the entire time you are here than this should only be a minor inconvenience. If you planned to meet clients, have a nice alternate place to hang out, have a drink at the lounge then I would advise to wait until this is completed.

i normally stay in galleria. this particular week everything was booked and i ventured outside to west loop....

+cushiest bed and bedding. spent a week in hotel Icon downtown (#35) and this was a better sleep. by far.
+huge room. i asked for a king single, got a queen double, massive room, good work table
+friendly staff. had a little issue with a supplied furnishing... staff followed up immediately
+housekeeping left a basket of fresh towels and amenities outside my door everytime i DND'ed. great touch i thought - i like my privacy and noones ever replenished when i DND elsewhere

i cant find a single complaint. cant rank 5* cuz its a not a 5* hotel, but for what it was it my stay was flawless. will stay again.

Although conveniently located on the access road to I-10, the road noise can be a bit loud depending upon the room. The rooms have been updated (redecorated, new AC/heat) since my last stay. They are much, much nicer, brighter and more modern. The staff is friendly and seems genuinely nice. I've stayed at this specific location a number of times. I have never had any issues with the wired internet service; performance has been fine. The hotel is close to a good 5 mi jogging trail - Buffalo Bayou Park Trail.
