Houston Marriott Medical Center

Even though it's a hop, skip and a jump away from a number of medical facilities, this Marriott is not just for those visiting a doctor. The hotel is about a 2-mile drive from many of Houston's most popular attractions, and it's also located nearby a light rail stop. Guests love the location, and they appreciate the Houston Marriott Medical Center's climate-controlled skyway to Methodist Hospital. Visitors also praise the accommodations that feature standard Marriott amenities, like flat-screen TVs and minifridges. Other property perks include an indoor pool and a fitness center. And in terms of eats, Driscoll's and the Paladora Lounge both serve up hearty plates of casual American fare, while an on-site Starbucks is convenient for those in need of a morning pick-me-up. While some recent guests found the property underwhelming, they commended the hospitable staff for making their visit memorable. And because this is a Marriott property, costs can be covered by rewards from the brand's loyalty program.
