“I'll come back!”
Unique hotel! Old Building, cool.
“Very satisfied"”
It was only for a short stay but it was quite nice. Would recommend to others. Wish we could have stayed an extra night to experience all amenities.
“My hotel of choice when in Houston”
This was my second stay at the Magnolia. The atmosphere is friendly, the hotel is spotless, and the extras give it a five star feel. From the complimentary happy hour to cookies and milk before bedtime, to spa-like soaps and shampoos, this hotel rocks! This is a five star hotel at 4 star prices.
“First time at Magnolia”
It was fine - very modern. I was only there as my regular hotel was full, but it was an acceptable substiture. Modern decor, two free drinks (very limited selection) at happy hour, servicable free breakfast buffer. Definite good choice if you need to stay downtown.
“Wonderful Birthday Weekend”
I would like to thaank the Magnoia Hotel and Staff for helping me celebrate my birthday weekend. I would definatly stay again it was a great experiance.
“Nice accomodations and service”
My stay at the Magnolia was very pleasant. The room was comfortable-just what you want after a long day at a convention. The cookies before bed were a nice end to the day. Although I had to wait a while to get the hotel shuttle, it was wonderful to be in an big SUV instead of having to climb into the usual hotel van. I've already recommended it to several people and plan to stay next year when I return for the convention.
“Think Before Booking”
The hotel personnel were very professional and courteous. While the bed was very comfortable, the room was smaller than I expected. There is no shuttle to or from the airports (Hobby or "Bush". Cab fare including tax to the hotel was almost half the cost of the room. They do have a limosine service that can be used "downtown" without a charge, (except tip) but the limosine to "Bush" is more than half the cost of the room. (w/o tip) Breakfast was buffet style, omelets were extra. Breakfast seating was at large round tables, those you might expect at a wedding reception. There is no restaurant per se; however, the food I had was not hot enough, but the cheesecake was excellent, and I suspect freshly made on the premises. The Magnolia is in a building formerly occupied as the headquarters for Shell Oil. This part of Houston has been redeveloped and on the surface the redevelopment appears to be successful, but I was there on both the weekend and the weekdays. On the weekend the streets are essentially empty and many restaurants are not open. And, even on the weekday the streets were not very populated. The Magnolia is in walking distance to several entertainment venues and the surroundings are pleasant. This hotel was rated by some organization as one of the 100 best hotels in the World. This is certainly not the case. I've stayed in Hampton Inn's that were more luxurious. Hope this helps.
“Nice Hotel in Downtown Houston”
This hotel was very nice. The bed was super comfortable and my mom and i both got a good night's sleep. The complementary breakfast and milk and cookies before bedtime was really good. A very nice breakfast spread. Unfortunate that you have to pay extra for the omelete station. Nice location downtown and the pool on the top floor is nice. There is a parking ramp close which is cheaper than the valet service offered by the hotel. I do not suggest you order the hamburgers at the restaurant inside the hotel. Ours came burnt and the service was very slow. I wish there were more restaurants in the area close to the hotel.
“Would definately rebook!!!”
The Magnolia is an excellent hotel and in the perfect location to where we needed to be.
“Best hotel in downtown Houston”
Fabulous complimentary breakfast. Cookies and milk at bedtime. Rooftop pool and the most awesome concierge staff I've ever encountered. Gorgeous hotel and convenient to every downtown location. This will be my first choice in Houston every time.
