The hotel is currently going under construction. Had we known that. We wouldn't have stayed here. We heard pounding after 5pm on a weekend. Didn't have hand soap or batteries for the tv remote. Whoever was in the room next door kept trying to get inside our room.

The hotel is in terrible need for an overhaul. Terrible smell in the rooms hallways and elevators. Old beat up bathroom and outdated electronic no usb ports in the rooms. It honestly felt like a truck stop budget motel and not a Marriott property

The property was under renovation, with many workers on site, and the elevators were frequently being used by the construction crew. The room was also not cleaned every day.

The hotel is well located but it seems old. The staff was nice, only the guy in the breakfast or coffee station that was rude and seemed off. The pillows and towels were smelly and had to ask them to change them. Thought it was going to be a better experience.
- 5/5
The staff was very accommodating we checked in late and the representative that was there. Make sure that we had everything that we needed. She was very nice. Make sure we could get in and out of the parking garage. Everybody was so nice and accommodating one of the attendees even tied my dress for me. This is an amazing hotel.

Location was perfect. Rooms were clean. The staff was very helpful and kind in person. However, tried to reach them by phone multiple times before check-in, and never picked up. Once in the hotel, I tried to reach them by phone again to get more towels and they didnt pick up. I had to go downstairs to ask for more towels, which were sent to my room 3hrs later.

parking was supposed to be $25 but i was charged $50 when i arrived. i asked the front desk lady why i was charged and she tells me its $25 per night. i told her i was only staying one night. she said "oh it's for security" so two completely different things. then hours later i was charged an additional $30 on top of the $50. i go back to the front and i ask a different person about the issue. he says it is $25 but they always tack on an extra $50 "for security" would have been nice to know this upon arrival. i was told i would receive the extra $50 back within 2-3 business days. so i'm hoping that is true.

Great stay! Everything was as expected Parking prices
- 4/5
Nice hotel for the price. Best part is that it is very close to the galleria mall. Walking distance is about 5-10 mins. The hot water gets very hot which is a good thing. The toilet had a very slow and weak flush. The pillows were very deflated and flat. Really close to the conservatory which is a nice place to chill and grab a bite to eat from a variety of food restaurants, definitely check that out, and the galleria mall. Really good bang for your buck. But If you are looking for a more luxury stay pay a bite more and check nearby.

It was pretty old. I asked for towels after they did not service my room. I had to keep asking 4times till finally called at 6pm and got towels. Room was never serviced

This is my 2nd stay here, and it's a great hotel. Nice, comfortable, clean rooms. It's right next to the huge Galleria Mall for excellent shopping and eating, and easy to get around the city using rideshare.

The only amenities we used outside of our room were parking and the pool. The pool while obviously older seemed well kept and was in a nice quite area of the hotel. The parking garage can be stressful when packed and cars are coming back and forth but that's not on the hotel, that's just on people driving 60 in a parking garage. Overall the room was PERFECT. It was clean, the AC worked perfect, we had a great view, the shower (water pressure was nice), and the beds were a nice firmness. Also everyone who was on staff during our stay was AWESOME and so flipping helpful

Called ahead and was assured the parking fee would be waved ($50+). It was not. There was no legitimate breakfast after advertising a "Bistro". No bar but advertised "cocktails" Gym equipment from the 90s... I could go on. Overall terrible place to stay in the Galleria area.

Follow-up from my previous review of 1. I spoke with a supervisor and they told me that the shower situation was completely unacceptable and took some very generous measures to rectify the situation. They also followed up with a phone call and asked me if there was anything else they could do. I truly appreciated the gesture.
- 1/5
The shower valve would not release so I couldn't take a shower. Front desk couldn't tell me why they would put a customer in a room without a working shower. I was told that maintenance was on a call and that the best they could do was extend my check out time two hours. I was told to "call back" to see where I was in the queue. Simply awful. customer service. No offer of credit, no offer to move me to another room to shower. Nothing. Just wait. Unacceptable.

This was my first stay at the property while visiting Houston. I normally stay at Hotel Derek but this has become my new favorite place. The staff was very professional and friendly and didn’t hesitate assisting when asked. My children and I really enjoyed our stay. Even though it was only one night, we look forward to our next time there.

Because we were coming from the flooded area of Central Texas, I bought insurance for each of us in case of problems traveling. I DID cancel the reservation from July 12 - 15, as we DID have major traveling problems.

very expensive and no amenities , no breakfast , no water
- 1/5
The property isn’t worth the price and needs a remodel or a really good clean. The carpets were filthy. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling and there was water ring stains on the nightstands. The house cleaners could do a more thorough job overall. There was also either a kids sporting event or family reunion there the weekend we were there, there were kids everywhere running up and down the halls and playing in the elevators all weekend. The front desk staff didn’t say a word. Will never stay here again.

The room wasn't ready at 3pm check-in. It wasnt until an hour later the room was ready. This made me change my plans for the evening, which wasn't good. I wasnt offered any type of discount or anything.

Got to the hotel around 3:25 to star my check in when I get there they told me they were no rooms available at the moment so I need to wait for 20 minutes or so !! Wait for 1 hour and 45 minutes on the lobby to finally get my room I wasn’t the only one with the same issue!! They need to wok Berger in logistic and gave real customer service to the guest !!! I drove for 4 hours and it’s not fair for us to wait for a room when the hotel took my money right away !!
