Great experience. Staff and facilities are great.
The staff is absolutely terrific! The food and drinks were excellent!
Nice hotel, clean. They've taken precautions for covid. The level of service provided is amazing. I will be back.
Beautiful, unique hotel. It's like stepping into history when you walk in. The lobby area is gorgeous, with the original pillars and vault of the bank that once stood there. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
Nice older building on the outside. It maintains that antique feeling from the outside to the rooms inside. Not only do they greet you at the front door, you also have letter from manager in room. Also welcomed with champagne. The beds, sheets, pillows were all soft. Breakfast was amazing and the free complimentary in room snacks. Only one thing I could say needed a little attention was the bathroom wallpaper and ceramics the age is creeping and needs upgrade. Highly recommended will stay again.
I remember I Visited this hotel for the Christmas Holidays! Texas Holiday Lights on sixth floor pool deck was very good. The view from top of Discovery Green was amazing and peaceful! They maintain 85F in lazy river. There were also some games available to play for kids of all ages which was a plus. The bar on the pool deck had elaborate drinks menu with some bar bites. Drinks were strong and worth the price. I would highly recommend to visit!
Customer service was awesome! Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very nice, clean and quiet. Beds are super comfortable. There are several restaurants and stores within walking distance. We literally didn’t have to drive anywhere after checking in. Offers complimentary breakfast.
Heights house is a really wonderful hotel. Quite new and is very comfortable. The service here is excellent as well. I ran into a beautiful lady down the corridor named Marlene. She wanted to make sure everything was great with my stay, which it was. We conversed for a little while and she was so friendly as sweet. Just a great place overall and I would definitely book again if I need a place to stay in Houston.
This hotel is amazing. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. They were very knowledgeable about downtown and always willing to help. I like the way they listen to your needs and try their best to accommodate. In this day and age with the Pandemic it is still nice to see a happy staff. Sunday upon check out the guy who was handing out muffins made sure everything was great with our stay. I will come back. See you soon.
Nice hotel, really spacious, and open floor plan. Two negatives for me and that was the shower for me. Too small and no way to prevent water from getting everywhere. The other is no microwave or utensils. I've never been in a suite without those two. Otherwise, I am very complimentary of the hotel. Staff was very kind and helpful with all assistance.
Nice hotel. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Super dog friendly, my pup felt welcomed :) The lobby area is beautiful. I love that they kept some items of historic significance. Comfortable room with great bath amenities. Would stay here again, especially if my pup is coming along!
Always perfect. Love this hotel and it’s perfect location for a night out of the suburbs. The staff is very accommodating and goes way beyond necessary to make each stay memorable. I can’t say enough positives about this hotel.
Cute, quiet, and cozy! Many places within walking distance. The guidebook in the hotel rooms are informative. A sweet welcome page, list of amenities, local places, etc. see pictures.
I had a wonderful experience! I booked 2 rooms across the hall from each other for 3 weeks due to the storm. The entire staff was friendly and very devoted in what they do. They were so helpful and made my stay so perfect and enjoyable. The rooms were cleaned on time and thoroughly. The walls are thick which is great when you want to sleep in. The location is great! Many places to visit and all walking distance. I will definitely stay here again!
Gorgeous views and amazing room. The service is top notch as well. In close to proximity to many great places. The valet attendant, Idris was highly respectful, detail-oriented and willing to go above and beyond! At arrival, front desk receptionist, Felipe also went above and beyond when our room was not ready. He was welcoming, respectful and continuously made us feel comfortable and important. In the evening, Marissa the bartender was knowledgeable, charismatic and accommodating. She was swamped with guests, yet she handled the influx of business in a professional and expeditious manner. She remained poised and in control at all times. She even explained the history behind Charlotte Baldwin and the meaning of “X” you see throughout the hotel. Our second time in Houston and we love staying here. Highly recommend it! We will definitely be back!
When we stay at a four or five star hotel we expect a Plush and inviting experience, Including an amazing mattress. What the Derek hotel offers is the experience of the location and the high end shopping and dining options in its orbit. My husband‘s birthday coincides with spring break so we expect things to be busier at this time of year.But when you add the cheapest one ply toilet paper I’ve ever experienced plus a stimulus check convention into the mix... However Dennis at the front desk was more than gracious and accommodating during our stay, Dennis receives five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stayed last night with my significant other. The gentlemen that greeted us at check-in was very courteous and very professional. At checkout we were greeted by a couple of staff members that were very friendly(almost wanted to stay another night). I definitely will be back with my other half. This place is a jewel in the middle of Houston and will be our staycation.
Very nice stay at the Marriott. Downsides to this place is the 38 dollar valet parking and the people that riddle the streets at night. I also booked a corner room and received a regular room. We arrived late in the night so I didn't even feel like rectifying the issue. The room was really nice but the downsides bring it down to 4 stars
We stayed for one night over the weekend and had a great experience. We were greeted pleasantly at check in, had a great experience with Kevin in the lobby bar (which is BEAUTIFUL and open until midnight!), and really thought our room was comfortable. We had a great night’s sleep in over-sized King bed and it was very quiet. Great location for walking to many restaurants and it is very close to the ballpark. Parking is in a lot adjacent to the hotel, we were not concerned about safety. We would definitely stay again.
