“This was a great hotel overall.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My stay was great but I am use to more upgrades in the rooms. The beds were comfortable and I had a king bed and it was similar to european furniture (low to the ground). Pillows were fluffed and room size was average. Recommendation for the TV to be on a swivel to turn it while in bed. Had an awesome gym so my wife could work out. Lastly the kitchen in the room was benefical to have if needed. Overall it was a great stay

“Homely, VFM hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2010

This hotel is not structured in the classical sense but built more like a residential agglommoration. One almost feels like this is a (vast) personal residence, till one enters and sees the obvious giveaways. It is quite comfortable, but not plush. Bathrooms are a tad small, but each room also has a kitchenette. Probably due to high employee costs it seems to be a little under staffed, but is fairly efficient. Good if you look to keep cost down (approx USD 170); those not keen on this could opt for the nearby Marriott Waterway.

“Exactly what you expect.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

Everything is right in it's place like every other one of these Residence. Five things;
Quietest shower I have ever been in, ever, period. I didn't know the water was on.
The eggs here on the included buffet were better than at other stops within this brand.
The cookies were hard. Fail

The signage is the issue here. The locals have a rule so it is low to the ground, and the trees have over grown it. You can not see the hotel or the sigen from the end of its block. Hint: look for the city water tower, the hotels are under it.

last there is a second Residence one block away. So punch the address into your phone or GPS device and save yourself the trouble of getting out in the wrong hotel.

“Cozy and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2009

This is a cozy and comfortable Residence Inn. It is a little older but fine. The room was very clean and spacious. The indoor pool and hot tub were nice, although the pool was too cold. My daughter and her friend also enjoyed the small tennis and basketball court. The complimentary hot breakfast was great, plenty to choose from. The large flatscreen TV in the eating area was nice. The staff members were pleasant and helpful. The location is convenient to the mall and shops at Market Street. The only negative I encountered was the computer in the lobby needs to be replaced. The screen is tiny and the computer was extremely slow and kept having problems. Overall, this is a nice, quiet hotel that we would stay at again.

“This Hotel Is Managed Horribly!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2009

I Traveled to Houston on Business and brought my family with me. The Rooms at the Residence Inn are a great place for a family, but not this hotel. Located in the heart of the busy Woodlands, TX area, it's in a great location and literally 2 streets down the way on Six Pines, another Residence Inn exists. I have stayed at both and now I know, why most of the business goes to the one on Six Pines.

This hotel was the 1st Residence Inn in the Woodlands, and because of the influx of business, another Residence Inn was built. This hotel is priced about $30.00 lower than its competitor, but for $130.00 a night, it was NOT worth it.

The entire facility really needs to be renovated. The main lobby area is ok, the outside needs some landscaping. The rooms are old and are in need of minor repairs. Things are rusty, housekeeping is lazy and does not dust. Toilets drip and fans squeal.

The entire staff comes across as not caring, and they operate under a reactive environment, this is the managements fault.

The Residence Inn is known for their free breakfasts and dinners. Their breakfasts are ok, but their dinners are horribly managed. They claim that dinner is served from 6pm to 7:30pm but the main course runs out within 10-15 minutes and others are left eating salad and possibly the side dish. I recall other Residence Inn serving cans of soda and wine, this hotel serves cans of Lite Beer and and watered down lemonade and Koolaide.

Just the other night, 2 policemen entered the hotel and went up to a room. Being a cops kid, whenever I see a police officer, it means trouble, especially in Houston. I am not sure what happened, but that concerned me.

Most of the other travelers around me were families, and very little business travelers and that's because they were all at the Residence Inn on Six Pines.

If I were going to do this trip again with familly, I would try to book a room, at Residence Inn at Six Pines.
