Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Houston League

Being away from my family on my birthday was tough, but the staff made the trip a good experience. The front desk put together a birthday card, and both the woman who checked me in around 10:30 Monday night and the bartender were sweet and professional. Service has been amazing. My only gripe is the shower pressure. Everything else was awesome.

I'm only four days into a nine-day stay, and the breakfast choices seem to get worse every morning. Today there was no oatmeal, which is really the only edible thing besides scrambled eggs, and those weren't available either. They only have dark, bold coffee, so I have to add half a cup of milk. The one thing I'm enjoying is the high-pressure shower. The beds are awful, and I can hear everything from the hallway, other rooms, and the pool. This is the worst experience I've had since Wyndham hotels in Buffalo.

I always stay here for business trips to the Clear Lake area. It's a short drive to Johnson Space Center, with clean rooms and staff who are consistently nice and helpful. The parking lot is well lit, the area feels safe, and getting in and out is easy.

My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, but checking out in the morning was awful. The front desk attendant had a terrible attitude, didn't say good morning or ask about my stay, and wouldn't help change the information on my receipt. At first she said I could fill out a form, then changed her mind and refused to give me a copy of the receipt.
