Dissecting Marriott Hotels One Business Trip At A Time

Fairfield Inn Houston Westchase

Identifying Information
Marriott Brand: Fairfield Inn
Location: Houston, TX
Property Web Page: Fairfield Inn Houston Westchase

Critique of the Property
Common Areas: Nothing exciting. Small lobby and the carpets in the hallways are worn. They need an upgrade and I believe that they are planning to do just that.

Guest Rooms: Staying in a king room with a sofa bed and refrigerator (by special request). The carpets, bedding and curtains are the old style from a few years ago and there’s a marked difference from the renovated rooms in other Fairfield Inn’s. Clothes rack in lieu of a closet with a full bathroom.

Other Amenities: There’s a pool, currently being refurbished, and a jacuzzi. No exercise room but you can use the room across the street at the Homewood Suites hotel. Free wireless internet access.

Things To Watch Out For: Get a room on the top floor. The ceilings are low and you will hear people walking above you.

Staff: Always prompt and very nice.

What’s Nearby?
The hotel is located in the Westheimer district so their are lots of convenience spots, including gas stations, pharmacies and restaurants.

Restaurants: Wolfgang Puck Express, Outback Steakhouse, Ninfa’s Mexican Food, Taco Cabana, Schlotsky’s Deli and many others.

Other Marriotts: Marriott Houston Westchase, Courtyard Houston Westchase, Residence Inn Houston Westchase
