"While not a big problem, room service is expensive and you should get what you pay for or get a credit for what is missing. Our next issue was that we had planned to take the hotel..."

"Again if it wasn't so highly rated and expensive compared to similar hotels it would have a better rating.
The cookie bar is cool and the breakfast is good and big although a bit..."
"For such a "grand" and expensive hotel the details are absent. Polystyrene cups; limited supply of tea; no shoe cleaning supplies; no sewing kit; no mouth wash; modestly sized t.v..."
"We ordered room service once while we were there, it was expensive of course, but fantastic. Our room was clean, the bed was very comfortable. The pool area is also very nice, they..."

"I have stayed at many upscale hotels over the years. I have insomnia and the beds were always terrible! Your beds and pillows were excellent! As soon as my head hit the pillow, I..."
"The staff was pleasant and the room was a standard slightly upscale room. Nothing real crazy to talk about with the room. Flat screen tv was nice.
If you are looking for things..."
"The Art Museum is so amazing and very close to get to. Over all , however, it was an expensive experience and certainly would not commend this hotel if you are planning on having..."
"i wish this luxury hotel was located in an other area of the city not so business oriented
we had a great stay in this luxurios hotel last summer , an excepcional attention from..."

"It's not the JW Marriott, but a close second of the upscale hotels I've stayed in Houston--for a convention hotel it beats most large high volume hotels--I'll be back!..."

The service was spotty from the start. Upon arrival - three valets stood by..."
"The hotel can be one of the most expensive in the world, but without 5-star associates, as in this Westin...then the hotel doesn't matter. I'd rather stay at a Motel 6 that had..."

"The JW Marriott presents itself as an "exclusive luxury hotel".
Sorry - but there was nothing remotely exclusive or luxury about this.
A decent hotel with good and very helpful..."

CONS:..."

The amenities were very good.
Room was a little tight..."
