Review of Houston Marriott Energy Corrid...

Booked this room using rewards points - surprised ...

Booked this room using rewards points - surprised how low the points needed given how expensive MArriott rewards is compared to Hilton. used 10K points! Very nice property, i upgraded to a King Suite for $20 and asked for a low floor. When checked in, we received a room with a balcony which was really nice we relaxed outside before getting ready and enjoyed cocktails on the deck. Our side faced the dealership (west side) as another reviewer noted but the bed room has no windows and the living room has room darkening drapes covering the glass sliding doors so its not an issue. Staff is nice and service was prompt. example: forgot to request time on breakfast room service, they called us and wife said "anytime" is good, they were there in 10 minutes with food. We requested new towels for the morning and they were delivered ASAP. very nice. Nit Picks: the A/C controls are some new "green" piece of crap with a motion sensor on it and only one AC vent for the whole suite! it got warm in our room even though we cranked it to 68 - i cant stand in front of the thermostat to "activate it" all day. Also, our room was handicapped equiped and the whole bathroom is a wet area - the shower allows water on the deck which is weird because it pooled and splattered to the toilet so your feet get wet long after a shower. So, overall we will stay again if another occassion arises, nit picky issues aside (and it does have full service bar downstairs). :)
