Not Good
The hotel does not look as advertised in the photos. It is quite dilapidated. Roaches were everywhere where. The tv did not work and the light over the bathroom mirror did not work. Also, the lock on the door was not secured.

I recently booked at this hotel and had a very disappointing experience. Upon check-in, I was informed that they did not have any pipe-burned water available. I contacted Expedia for a refund, but the hotel refused to issue one despite the inconvenience. I’m frustrated by the lack of support and poor service. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

If I could give this establishment zero stars, I would. On August 7, 2024, I arrived in Houston and, after finding appealing photos online, called this hotel to confirm everything was in order. I was assured that everything was fine, but my experience quickly turned into a nightmare. When I arrived on August 8, I was told the hotel had no running water, but since other hotels were fully booked, I had no choice but to stay. The room was filthy—reeking of drugs, with a dirty microwave. Worse, there was water on the floor, which the staff ignored until I pointed out the hazard. To my shock, I later learned that the associate who was supposed to be helping other guests had entered my room without permission. The so-called "continental breakfast" was nonexistent, and the promised amenities were nowhere to be found. Despite all these issues, the hotel refused to refund my money or return my deposit, even after they eventually kicked everyone out due to the water issue. They even mishandled my belongings, leaving me to wonder if my room was accessed by unauthorized people. This experience was appalling, and I strongly advise against staying here.

I booked my reservation on line in hopes that it would be a seamless experience. Upon arrive, I hate to wait about 10 minutes before being acknowledged. Then we were advised the system went down and had to wait 2 hours before I was able to be checked in and get a room key. During the wait, the facility was hot and seemed like the ac was not running. The water shut off around 2am and I was unable to take a shower, use the restroom, or even brush my teeth. So quick to take a deposit but do not offer efficient treatment and living conditions.

Marriott needs to get it together !!!!!!
The whole place needs an upgrade. The A\C unit is on life support. When you step out of the elevator on the third floor it’s suffocating., no air blowing. The breakfast if you wanna call it take was terrible.The comforter and sheets on the bed were very old and dingy.

At check in the clerk said that the prepaid reservations was declined, I showed them the emails proving payment. After arguing for several minutes they checked me in. I also was woken up at midnight the second night by the hotel manager barging through our locked door telling us we didn't have reservations.

On Expedia says that is pet friendly and when we got there they told us definitely no pets were allowed... after minutes of discussion, they decided to ask for 100 $ cash to allow dog inside. Expedia to review hotel classification, so we do not have to go through those issues

Staff Friendly but NOT CLEAN!
I will start by saying the staff was nice and friendly and the ac worked. That is where the good ends. The hotel is old and the renovation that was done at some point doesn't look kept up. Door frames and bath tub were peeling and lots of stains. Our room was not cleaned more than surface level. Toliet and floor dirty. My sheets were dirty and asked for new ones, I received them quickly and they were clean. Changed my own bed with the king size sheets on my queen bed. We also found a *used* wash cloth in the drawer. Not my favorite Fairfield experience.
