Awful

Avoid at all costs and do not pay for breakfast. When we arrived, hotel did not have the room we had paid for, which two beds, and we had to get a different room with a single bed and then change half-way through. Breakfast was inedible. They had parfaits which were expired and moldy. Like, full mold growth. They made eggs which were so tough and rubbery we literally could not cut them with a metal knife or chew through. They only had one person on staff who had to take the order and then run back and cook the order, which meant there was no one at the front for 30 minutes at a time. good luck getting a single coffee if you're in a hurry.

Construction misery

We have stayed here before but this time they were under construction/renovation--something not shared when we booked. We were told 8-5 construction but on the first night, they were directly overhead drilling at 6pm. It was unlivable. They should have never put us in a room directly below that. It woke me up the next morning and continued for 2 days of our 5 day stay. The other 3 days without overhead construction were fine. I would seriously consider not staying here again, even though it was very convenient to our family.

Major construction issues

I booked this to take my mother for an eye surgery. My sister said this at check-in. We needed a room for her to stay post surgery and before her doctor visit the next day. They put us in a room right next to construction going on without telling them. On Friday, I begged hotels.com to help. The attendant tried, but she had no luck. Then I tried with the front desk, and had no luck either. The front desk woman said there was nothing she could do. We couldn’t move my mom due to her surgery. Construction was terrible during 2:00-5:00 PM. Upon checkout, I told another person at the hotel that we were never supposed to have that room. She said they put medical procedure patients in other rooms. She apologized. If I had seen the construction notification, I would have never chosen this property for my mom to stay at for rest. She lives 3 hours away and had to stay overnight in Houston. I picked a location that was close to her surgery center and had good reviews, As a Bonvoy member, I always limit my picks to Marriott properties. I’m rethinking this strategy going forward. It was an overall terrible experience with the exception of the woman who checked us out.
