Underwhelming
Pros:

I stayed at The Magnolia while in Houston for work, and unfortunately, I would not stay here again.

The hotel is supposedly part of Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio, and while the lobby may give that impression, the overall experience did not live up to what I’ve come to expect from the brand. The hotel itself did not have a particularly pleasant smell, and the service throughout my stay felt lukewarm at best.

The valet experience was especially frustrating. Guests are asked to submit a request for their vehicle, yet I watched valet staff standing outside talking while I waited. When I asked about my vehicle, I was simply told it would be another 10 minutes while they continued standing where they were. There was very little sense of urgency or attentiveness.

I stay within the Marriott family frequently, including Tribute Portfolio and Autograph Collection properties, so I’m familiar with the level of service these hotels typically provide. This experience fell well below that standard.

Overall, the service was poor and the stay was disappointing. I will choose another Marriott property the next time I’m in Houston.

I’d probably give this 2 stars based on what you described—nice enough appearance to avoid a 1, but the service was not there.

Nice but could have been better

Will Definitely Return to Finally Try the Rooftop Pool!
Pros:

Great location, beautiful property, and spacious, clean rooms! We loved being within walking distance of everything or using the free 1-mile shuttle. The complimentary happy hour and nightly milk and cookies were delicious perks. Our only complaint was the rooftop pool, which was unexpectedly closed without warning. The front desk even gave us the pool hours at check-in without mentioning it was shut down. Despite the poor communication regarding the pool, we would absolutely go back to finally try it out and highly recommend this stay!
