Staff was great - very friendly and accommodating. First floor is being completely renovated so there is no restaurant and lobby area. During the day, there is construction noise although they inform you about this upon arrival.

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.

Not bad
The breakfast is not a usual breakfast .There is just a sandwich and juice .The same every day. Or you can take an orange instead of juice .There is no buffet breakfast and no dinner .They did not mention on hotels.com about that. No restaurant or Starbucks near in the area. It's quiet if the room is on the back of the building. The beds are comfortable. Very nice bathroom with an average amenities .Staff is friendly. Pool is located in the hotel next door. Parking is free.

It took 3 tries before a room that was clean was found. The first 2 still had dirty towels on the floor and trash in the room. I have never had this happen to me. Not just one room, but 2 times the room they assigned had not been cleaned after last person.
