What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott Houston Hobby Airport, many guests praise the welcoming staff, while a contrasting set of reviews cites dated rooms and maintenance problems that sometimes impact comfort and overall experience.

The free airport shuttle is a strong convenience, though facilities show wear, with reports of slow elevators, broken ice machines, occasional pool closures, and a hot, tired fitness room. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with several noting musty odors and damp carpets alongside many comments about clean rooms. Dining is not complimentary and often seen as pricey, and the surrounding area feels industrial and less walkable. Overall, expect airport convenience and friendly service with variable room quality.

The lack of amenities, pool was closed and no Jacuzzi. Dining limitations meant I DoorDashed lunch and dinner. A run down neighborhood meant I didn't feel comfortable walking to Denny's 2 miles away. It was an older property that just hasn't been kept up and updated. The staff was super friendly and don't want to rip on them, but I'd never go back.

The room accommodations were horrible. Worst hotel we have ever stayed in. We have 4 people staying, only 3 towels in room. Called over and over, couldn't get anyone. Finally someone answered and said no one was available to bring a towel up. Beds were worst we have ever slept on, spring in my back all night. Pillows-paper thin. Ice machine was broken. It was all around a very unpleasant stay. We have never had a Marriott experience like this.

The area hotel is located is a bit scary. Room was hot. Noone cleans the room even if you are staying more than 1 day. No extra towels given unless you ask. Workout room is VERY HOT! It looks like it hasnt been cleaned in years, the equipment hasnt been wiped down or cleaned

Booked this hotel due to decent reviews but was very disappointed. The hotel is okay, strong cleaning smell trying to mask the musty smell, old and outdated room furniture, the shower temp is hard to control, it gets too hot and cold and due to that water pressure was low can't enjoy a nice shower. Beds are comfortable, there's a mini fridge, coffee maker but no microwave. The latina at the front desk was friendly and the house keepers. But the person checked me in need the training or has no costumer service whatsoever. You really don't even need training for that just be nice. When I checked in no one was at the desk and had to wait until someone that was sitting on the corner popped her head and just looked at me with no "hello how can I help you?" So I said I'm checking in. Didn't say a word or whatever. I'm a Marriott member and was not even acknowledged that. No other information given for the hotel. Just gave my room card that's it. Walking in the hotel you can smell a strong smell of weed. The area looks unsafe. I will not pay the amount I paid for this hotel. It's sad that it's a Marriott cause it's nothing like it.

While I cannot say this was the worst Marriott that Ive stayed, I also cannot bring myself to say this was the best. The exterior of the building is in need of pressure washing so that the windows were not obstructed with mold, mildew, and algae. Made it challenging to determining what the weather was outside or time of day. The bathrooms need overhauling to include repairing the fixtures where they are not constantly dripping. This should save the company money in the long run. Lastly, a quarterly desensitization and cleaning of the carpets in and out of the rooms would help with the dead smell as well as improve the air quality.

The carpet is old, the kind where you do not want to walk around barefoot! The hallways smell as soon as you exit the elevators. The shower was nice and free of mold and mildew! The bed was comfortable and the room was dark when the curtains are closed! It is not located in a very nice area. No free breakfast but there are several tea within walking distance.

They couldn’t get the wifi to work, moved me to another room, still barely worked. They pretty much ignored me when I told them, until I actually went to the front desk. The shower only had hot water so I couldn’t shower they never attempted to fix that situation either. Horrible employees and horrible hotel. Don’t stay here.

The staff is not knowledgeable , poor trained. I booked with free breakfast and they charged me $50 at the time of check out for breakfast , I contacted the manager Jacobo and he answered the first email saying he will look into the issue , one week after I sent him a follow up email and I was totally ignore. I have the reservation receipt where the free breakfast is written … there is no excuse ,

Great experience

It's just an average hotel. Not offering complimentary breakfast was unfortunate, especially in light of the ridiculously high prices for breakfast there. We have stayed at much nicer places over the past year with similar prices. However, this place did not earn the right to charge the prices that they did! I doubt we will return.
