Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport
Room service/ grill experience was not as pleasant as hoped. Spend your money on the burgers; because the sea bass was not sea bass.

We were there for my wife’s annual cardiology check up. We ran into a problem that resulted in her hospitalization and an unplanned extension. I contacted the staff and they were very supportive and proactive in setting an additional stay at reasonable rates.
