We recently stayed here for three nights and I can't recommend this facility more highly! If you need to stay by the airport, you absolutely cannot go wrong here!
The rooms are quite spacious and impeccably clean. I can honestly say I have NEVER been in a cleaner shower in all my years of hotel stays. Not only was the shower clean, it had the added treat of two water-jet nozzles near the handle which added even more relaxing streams of hot water to the experience.
The bed linens were spotless and unbelievably soft and the carpets were so clean I didn't give a moment's hesitation to walking around barefoot. The microwave, fridge and coffee maker were also clean, which was great...but the tell-tale sign of cleanliness came when I picked up the TV remote. As you may know, these are generally the dirties things in the room and I always take care to swab them with alcohol. Of course, I did clean this remote in the same manner, but it was probably more a precaution than a necessity as there was none of the usual crud between buttons that so many cleaning staff members leave behind. None at all! That led me to believe the unseen germs and nasties had also been removed. Remarkable!
Our room featured a full bath with shower as well as a half-bath with corner sink. Also, a large, walk-in closet, a seating area with two comfortable couches and a desk with chair. A flat-panel TV finished the set-up...which, though placed rather inconveniently, worked nicely.
The included continental breakfast was quite sufficient and, as with everything in this facility, well-maintained. No spilled food left on counters and no empty food warmers. Indeed, one morning a group of high school students on a sports team descended upon the breakfast area and even with the demands they put on the food service staff, everything was kept full and hot! Seating was also plentiful and able to handle the girls' sports team and other hotel guests admirably. They even have a waffle iron that makes waffles (plain or strawberry) in the shape of Texas!
The front desk staff were extraordinarly friendly and cordial and the shuttle (though we didn't need it) was always at the ready for guests needing to use it.
There is also a pool and small exercise facility though I didn't use either so I can't comment in that regard except to say they are available.
If I had anything to "complain" about it would only be that the towels were a bit thin and rough and the air conditioner was rather loud...but that isn't much to trouble oneself over.
All this and a truly affordable price. Marriott is right on target with this facility. If you are in Houston and need a hotel near IAH....stay here!
