I had such high hopes for this visit. We were treating ourselves to a girls weekend (2 nights) and…read moreit didn't go as expected. The good: the hotel looks nice. It has lots of seating and the rooms had all the amenities. Very modern and clean. The pillows were comfy. Their complimentary breakfast is amazing. This is the only reason it's not 1 stars. It could have been the perfect trip..... The bad: OUR ROOM FLOODED! I took a shower the first morning and directly on the other side of the wall, in the bedroom, the floor flooded! It was so soaked, when I stepped on it squished between my toes. It completely soaked by bag and soaked into all my clothes ruining them for the entire trip. I couldn't wear anything but dirty clothes until going home the next day. When we called the front desk to notify them, they said "oh that happens, we will send someone up" and maintenance brought an industrial air blower and left it on the carpet. We couldn't take showers after our concert sweating from the 100° weather for 5 hours because they didn't fix the issue, just left the blower behind. When we got back at 11:30p, the wet spot had spread to past the end of the bed and under the bed. So at least we could access the bed from the other side. Checked out at 7am and just went home because it was disgusting. I am greatly disappointed that the front desk was aware showering was an issue causing room flooding and isn't doing anything about it. We were not moved to another room and there was no rectification, or even acknowledgment of the inconvenience. Any amount of sympathy or compassion would have made for a better experience. Thankfully it was just one more night. Additionally, The valet was never available. No one outside, and the person we talked to at the front desk was not helpful and couldn't tell us anything. Only 1 time out of all 3 days was someone available for valet without having to be tracked down by the front staff. We won't be back. I don't want to risk this happening again. Just not worth it.

We did a staycation here for our anniversary on the weekend of May 8-10. Booking with points and a…read moresuite upgrade reward, we were placed in a suite at room 422 which gave an overview of the HEB and neighboring shops in that area. Plus the location is close to the Cynthia Woods Pavilion so it allowed us to hear the Dave Matthews Band concert performance which took place on the 8th. Nothing like hearing the soulful sounds of the violins and horns from that band. The hotel has some nice amenities including a hot tub and pool located on the 2nd floor (both are outdoors). There's several lounge chairs where you can hang out while you get your tan on by the pool. There's also a hotel kitchen/bar area serving up nice cocktails and theres' the breakfast area which is complimentary for Globalist members which we took advantage of. I loved their brisket eggs benedict; definitely recommend ordering. Now back to our suite, there was also a lounge couch giving us more room to spread out. They also gave us complimentary chocolates and a hand-written note welcoming us while mentioning our anniversary. I really liked that personal touch as it made us feel valued. The bed is comfortable and we slept quite nicely. There is a mural above the bed of some woman with a hat covering her eyes; it kind of freaked us out at first but we grew to appreciate the artistic touch. Parking is behind the hotel where you can do valet or self-parking. It's also within walking distance for all the shops/outlets so there's plenty to do staying here. Definitely a favorite hotel of ours and we'll be more than happy to stay here again!

I myself had a great stay here, obviously people could have a different experience, but I am…read moresurprised by the average of 3 stars here, 5 stars IMO. Everything was excellent for me. The hotel itself is clean and feels updated, the staff was friendly and welcoming, the rooms are spacious and new, the restaurants served good food, the gym was excellent as well. Did not try it, but they also have a nice looking pool. So really what's not to like. All of this and very close to many other restaurants in the woodlands area. The room was appointed nicely, design wise, it felt upscale, bed was comfortable, full glass shower, wide plank style tiles, comes with a mini fridge and coffee maker as well. The fridge is a great thing to have while traveling and not all hotels have them these days which is a shame. It also has a nice desk area to work at, TV and a little lounge area. The gym, nice sized gym, cardio equipment, treadmills, elliptical machines, Peloton bikes, etc. the also have dumbbells, but max out at 50 lbs, (which I would like to see a bit heavier), a couple benches, a multifunctional life fitness weight machine as well as a stretching area and kettle bells, some other machines, everything you need to get a nice workout. I need to stay at places with a nice gym and will skip places that don't have one, this one is great. They also have chilled towels you can use during or at the end of your workout, always like to see those little touches. All and all, excellent property and would not mind staying here again if I am in the area. I would recommend you check them out. Join their Bonvoy membership as well to get points on stays and eventually can use those points for free nights, etc. Enjoy!

The chefs did a great job with the menu, everything was thoughtfully prepared and well-paced. The octopus appetizer and the bison tenderloin stood out, and the courses paired nicely with the bourbon without feeling heavy. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the evening. I highly recommend both the hotel and the restaurant, not just for out-of-town guests, but also for locals or anyone looking for a relaxing staycation. I'm listing the menu below simply to highlight the culinary talent behind the evening, as every course was well executed and memorable. Appetizer * Charred Spanish Octopus | Bourbon Smoked Aioli | Bean Cassoulet Salad * Smoked Duck Breast | Poached Fennel & Prune | Arugula | Pomegranate Seeds | Valencia Orange Vinaigrette Entrée (select one) * Juniper Berry-Encrusted Bison Tenderloin | Birch Bourbon Demi-Glace | Celeriac Puree | Baby Heirloom Carrots * Herb Pistachio Encrusted Lamb Rack | Parsnip Puree, Mint Rosemary Jus | Tri Colored Heirloom Beets | Acorn Squash Dessert * Fire Grilled Spiced Plum | Winter Stone Fruit Compote Vanilla Bean Gelato | Spiced Candied Macadamia & Pecans

What was a disappointment: - total of 1 lifeguard for the entire pool area, which included three pools and a lazy river with a wave area. There is "swim at your own risk" signage, but that is NOT a family friendly environment. - there is a 1x/ day arts and crafts that you have to pay extra to do. - the other staff-led activities were bingo, movie by the pool, and karaoke. The staff was not energetic, smiling, or enthusiastic with the exception of the activities manager who led the water melon eating contest. - it rained for one of the afternoons so we all went into the conference center for games. Wow was that disappointing. The staff was sitting around at a table, no music, no explanation of the table games, not interacting with the guests. When asked they said "you can play whichever game you want, it's self service." My husband and I used our phones to at least put on music, we facilitated a game of tag, and several families had to escalate to the manager to setup the karaoke and popcorn machine because the staff in the room was literally sitting around sticking to a rigid schedule and telling us they can't set anything up until a certain time. Of course the manager said that is absolutely not true. - the staff didn't know how to work the projector for karaoke so the kids just used a laptop that the staff member had sitting on her lap. Minimal interaction etc. The events team staff (minus the supervisor) was really subpar. Easily made for a 2 rating for sure. If you want a true family getaway, the JW Marriott in San Antonio is far superior. Photo with my son and one of the disengaged staff members. I'll also say that, again, for this luxury price, the staff need branded sweaters not oversized personal apparel.

It's not too big and not too small. My kids are older so they enjoyed the lazy river and swimming. We had drinks and got food for the kids. The drinks (smoothies and adult drinks) are great but the food was not great. We ate a local restaurant most nights because the dinner options at the resort did not sound appetizing. One the second day we ordered breakfast at Harrison's and the were very slow and hectic. I recommend the buffet which they are prepared for and the best cost. We took our kids golfing for the first time. We booked a late tee time to avoid the crowds. We enjoyed the course and carts to ourselves. We received excellent service during our entire visit. Our rooms were okay but nothing special and no special view (we paid for rooms with a view). One room faced the woods and one room faced the water park. The website showed a lake and fountain as the view. We had tons of bugs and wasps nest on the balcony so we could not sit outside. I would definitely get different room locations next time. It was a fun and relaxing family vacation that we would do again.

Stayed at this Hilton Garden Inn location during Thanksgiving week and weekend. The location is…read moregreat, it is right across the street from shopping centers and the mall, and right next-door to a high-end outdoor shopping center. The location was easy to get to and was no more than 20 minutes from most of the places we had to visit over the week. First of all, they get five stars for accommodating us on short notice and for their customer service. In terms of the hotel, they could do some work with the plumbing. During our stay, the water would go in and out, and sometimes it would be piping hot and other times freezing cold. We stayed in room 405. Our room was great, except for the air conditioning did not work in the bedroom... It was fine everywhere else in the room. I was happy that there was a sofa bed in the room as we had an unexpected guest join us... And we were glad to be able to accommodate. However, the sofa bed mattress needs to be changed. It is so bad that if you merely sit on it, you can feel not only the springs of the mattress, but the metal bars of the sofa bed as well and that is not good when you need to get a good night's rest. Overall, the staff was very friendly. Their breakfast ends by 10 AM and if you're down there by 9:50 AM, they will be putting away the food and cleaning up around you, which I thought was a little bit strange. I figured because it was Thanksgiving week and nobody wanted to be there working that's the way it had to be. The hotel also charges $16 per night to park there. However, if you are there for five nights or more, the parking is free. If you need to park there, make sure that you get your parking permit from the front desk or your car will be towed. Other than the items I mentioned, it is a nice hotel, and it is very clean, and the housekeeping people were very accommodating and friendly. Enjoy!

Last month I stayed here and they were in the midst of a renovation. My first room was really loud, and not quite ready for guests. It was missing trash cans and other items and it hadn't been completely finished. The a/c was super loud. My phone rang and it was the front desk guy to tell me that my neighbors complained about the a/c noise. He informed me that I had to get out of that room at that moment. I am disabled and was staying there for 8 nights, so I couldn't just pack up and go, quickly. I told him that it would take a bit and he was not OK w/that. It's hard for me to schlep luggage and in fact, I send my big suitcase ahead. So, I packed up, but was not offered any help getting my luggage to my new room. In their defense I should have asked for assistance. The desk guy met me at the elevator and I was given a new room that was much better and had been completely renovated. The good stuff: I send my luggage ahead, as I mentioned and the front desk ladies were so nice and helpful. I was always greeted as I walked by the front desk. The hotel is clean.
