The hotel is nice, but they have a night club and the hallway off our room was also a main hallway for nightclub guests. Needless to say, it was very noisy with partying going on in the next room and a drunk women passed out outside our door. They moved us after we complained, but why put us there in the first place? The new room was quiet and the people at the front desk are super nice and helpful.

It was convenient to where i needed to be but I would choose another place next time. It was musty and drove my allergies nuts. Felt outdated,especially the banquet rooms. My coworker said it has gone downhill with current ownership from what it once was.

Indoor pool was uncomfortably cold, jacuzzi wasn’t open/filled, found 2 full set of magnetic and glue eyelashes in my room (attached to mirror /headboard and on floor). Kids tried playing corn hole , only bags out were 2-one empty one ripped. Previous times you could go into the bar and leave your ID and they would give you a set of beanbags, when we tried doing this, the lady was super rude behind the bar and told us the only bags they had were out at the porn hole boards. Charged me early check in (even though place was empty, Monday )and dog fee twice had to have a manager fix it because desk lady wouldn’t recognize her mistake. Dining options were great, that’s about it.

Aging resort

The Woodlands is an outdated, aging “resort” with minimal amenities. Hot tub used to be its biggest attraction, hasn’t been working in years. Won’t be returning here again.
