The air conditioner was not working very hot in the room was very uncomfortable for the price I paid I should of been very comfortable. I also was moved twice my room keys didn’t work I was not very happy with the money I paid! The price! And your front desk can’t ever find my room. I wish my check in was more organized

I had the worst time and teh worst night on a hotel that i can remember. The alarm sound at midnight, i had to evacuate from the 22th floor. Nobody from the staff had the kidness to clarify, explain the situation, and when they finally did, they were very unpolite and very carelles about us as hosts. My girlfriend and i stayed at the lobby over an hour until the alarm went off. Obviously we couldnt sleep at all.

Excellent location and nice presence. However no valet or bellman came to help with car or luggage. Inside only one front desk person. Finally rooms were average not a JW standard. Some areas were frankly old. I think the hotel has great potential if they raise their customer service standards and inside decor . Also redo bathrooms to bring them up to standard. It would be an excellent hotel .

We celebrated our 49th anniversary and had informed the hotel. We were wished a happy anniversary at check-in and given access to their executive lounge. A VERY nice fruit and cheese tray with a bottle of wine was delivered to our room. One day we came in to a nice towel arrangement with chocolates on our bed. The room was nice and we thorough enjoyed our stay at the JW Marriott Houston - Galleria.

Kendall who checked us in was amazing. We were traveling with our two young daughters. Once getting to our room with early check in, our neighbors apparently thought it was spring break at the sandpiper beacon. I told Kendall the music was absolutely blaring at 3 pm in the day. 5 mins later security advised them to turn the music down . Clean facility . Easy access to the attractions in Houston . Shuttle willl take you 2 miles from the hotel for free.

The elevators were DIRTY-fingerprints and smudges everywhere. Room was outdated and could stand some modernization. Turned on bathroom sink and brown water came out, dirt ring in the tub, and hair on the shower walls. The room was close to the elevators so we could hear it loud and clear. I will say the front desk did attempt to look for a “better” room but no availability. She offered comp breakfast (6am-11am) which would have been nice had we been kept up by the elevator “music” all night. I would not stay here again.

When I came back I ended up parking across the street in the galleria’s garage, but I likely wasn’t supposed to but I was only running up to grab my stuff and check out. I do not recommend taking a car to this hotel but you need a car in this city so that’s a problem. If you can afford valet then it wouldn’t be an issue.

Place was great but for the price I paid it didn't feel luxury. Great business hotel but lacked in any other appeal. I booked a room based off of the description that stated bathtub...had HIGH hopes of getting a relaxing bath and was saddened when it didn't even have the combo tub/shower set up.

Internet access isnt free is a $20 per day cost unless you are a member of bonvoy which i am but could never get it to recognise my membership. Spoke to guest service that credited them but then found the charges when i checked out. Also my room was opposite the elevators and had the noise of the motors all night which initially i didnt think was so bad but after a couple of hours was very intrusive. Make sure you are not in room 19 or 20 on the 21st floor!

Liked everything but be warned it you stay in 1915 or any upper floor 15’s the elevator noise will keep you awake

Totally surprised and disappointed! I would normally stay in a Courtyard Marriott, thinking I would have an "upgrade", to my surprise, service was horrible! The servers in the restaurant were not attentative, the front desk staff was never there - or waiting for them to come out and take care of your request was just not acceptable.

When I checked in they didn’t event looked at me and they didn’t explained to me anything, they just asked for my credit card and that was it, they didn’t even helped me with my luggage and the men that was in the valet when I checked out was rude and didn’t looked presentable, I was very disappointed. I honestly wouldn’t go back to that hotel.
