Storleken har betydelse
Pros:

Härligt med ett stort och luftigt rum vilket gör det lätt att röra sig när man är 3 personer. Vi bodde 2 vuxna och en 15-åring i rummet. Uppskattade att det förutom 2 sängar fanns en bekväm skön fåtölj med fotpall. Det gav en välkomnande gest. Sängarna var sköna och kuddarna helt underbara. Gott kaffe och te på rummet. Hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Här bor vi gärna igen.

Pros:

The hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. It had a unique vibe. Enjoyed the red velvet cookies at night!

Cons:

The refrigerator and coffee maker were located in the bathroom which was very odd. Needless to say we did not make any coffee in the bathroom:)

The best welcome 🤗
Pros:

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at the Magnolia Hotel in Downtown Houston! The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, but what really made a great first impression was the service.
We drove in from San Antonio, and Karla welcomed us with the biggest smile and made our check-in experience so easy and pleasant. She was incredibly friendly, patient with all of our questions, and had us checked in and on our way to our room in no time. She even gave us a breakfast coupon, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! :)
It’s always nice to arrive somewhere after a drive and immediately feel welcomed and taken care of. Thank you, Karla, for starting our stay on such a positive note. We’re really enjoying the Magnolia Hotel and would definitely recommend it!

Magnolia never again.
Pros:

Safety: this hotel is sitting right next to a prison with homeless walking around everywhere.

Valet: They're not very attentive towards guests - I was standing in front of 3 attendants and none were available apparently... Took about 7mins for actual assistance. Btw $54 a night if you do valet.

Lobby representatives: I came on a day when the astros were playing so it was busy. However, the reps lack communication towards the guests and amongst their own staff. We made a reservation at 4pm and didn't get our room until 6pm. One rep said that I would be contacted by them once room was ready (never happened). After paying for the reservation, I quickly handle the valet situation and afterward and spoke to another lobby rep and she said that the room was ready (after being told I would be contacted that the room would be ready).

Pool: They're pool has a great skyrise view. Though, pool is very small in size and was green, 3ft all around including hot tub.

Breakfast: Breakfast was included throughout our stay. Take advantage, don't sleep-in; it is very filling and the staff is very attentive. In particular this one individual Mr. Robert. I would give a 1 star for this hotel, but Robert was phenomenal. This man needs a promotion or needs a transfer to a department that fits his qualitative characteristics.

Overall: the 1 bedroom suite was spacious and clean upon arrival. cleaning services never came back to clean room throughout our two night stay. Lastly, I don't recommend making a reservation with this hotel using a "third-party" like Expedia - you would eventually have to speak with the sales and accounting department regarding their confusing transactions. Diego from the sales was helpful throughout process despite his attitude. And Sheila from the accounting dept. was wonderful and understanding.

An Unforgettable Dinner — Those Views!
Pros:

Amazing. That's really the best way to describe our dinner at Aqua Shard.
The food was wonderful and the service was excellent — attentive, welcoming, and exactly what you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. But as wonderful as everything else was, the views completely stole the show.
We were there as the sun was setting over London, and watching the city transform from daylight into evening from high above the Thames was breathtaking. Seeing Tower Bridge illuminated below us was absolutely spectacular. Pictures simply don't do it justice.
We were celebrating my birthday, and I honestly couldn't have imagined a more memorable setting for dinner. The combination of the beautiful restaurant, excellent service, wonderful food, and those incredible panoramic views made the evening feel truly special.
If you're visiting London and considering Aqua Shard, go — and try to time your reservation around sunset if you can. Watching London light up while having dinner is an experience I won't forget.
