Dissecting Marriott Hotels One Business Trip At A Time

Back In Houston

Remember my mini odyssey last month in Houston? First my hotel was full, then Hurricane Rita forced me out after only one night. Well I’m back and the weather is a lot nicer this time around. And I’ll be staying at yet another Marriott property in the vicinity of my office. This will be the third property in my last three trips to Houston. I’m at the Fairfield Inn Houston Westchase, which is less than half a mile from the office. I’ve stayed at this hotel many times but a full report will follow before my stay is over.

Introducing Marriott Flexrez

Marriott has added the ability for travelers to make hotel and car reservations, as well as hotel reservations, directly from their website at http://www.marriott.com. They’ve added “Find A Flight” and “Rent A Car” links to the main page, basically creating a one stop shop. I’ll have to try this out when I book my next trip.
