You could not find a closer hotel to the airport than this Marriott. Accessing it from the airport is easy, and you get to ride in a tram/shuttle from the 80's that will someday be at the Smithsonian. I am not talking about the nice super airport transports that glide you from terminal to terminal in seconds. It was fun.
The front desk staff was wonderful and professional. Upon checking the young lady asked if I wanted two beds. I was a part of a company meeting where we always have roommates, so for a moment I thought the profile showed me to be alone in the computer, then I asked her if I had a roommate? She punched on her computer for a few more seconds and said, yes you do. Then I said two beds, please.
I did eat At the restaurant on the top floor of the circular building of this Marriott. On the top floor there are two options: fine dining and a sports bar. We chose the fine dining and felt the service and food were satisfying. I paid $48 for my dinner. The restaurant slowly rotates around.
The rooms are in need of some updates. The are small and have a large tv/dresser armoire that takes up much space in a small room. There are Phillips, tube televisions. The toilet in bathroom in my room appears to be forgotten in the original room plans and was placed in there after the room was complete. The top of the toilet is under the basin while the bowl portion greets you as soon as you open the door. Make sure the light is on or you will find it the hard way.
Overall this Marriott was satisfying enough in regard to cleanliness, service, and general upkeep of the property. It simply needs updates. If you were stranded at IAH, sleeping here verses on a terminal chair would be like winning the lotto.
