Don’t order the room service they do not bring it for an hour or more and not everything’s included and it’s all in to go wrapping.

The Magnolia Hotel Houston has been my favorite hotel for many years, and my recent stay for my 42nd birthday reminded me exactly why. When my daughter was growing up, we often enjoyed monthly staycations here together, creating memories that we still cherish today. Returning for my birthday felt like coming home.

The hotel is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I especially love the convenient downtown location, which is within walking distance of great restaurants, attractions, and Minute Maid Park. It made exploring the city easy and enjoyable.

A special thank you to the bartender, ‘R’ who served breakfast during my stay. The service was outstanding, friendly, and welcoming each morning. Great customer service can make all the difference, and it certainly added to my birthday experience.

Another favorite tradition of mine is the nightly cookie social. It’s one of the many unique touches that makes the Magnolia stand out and keeps me coming back year after year.

Thank you to the entire staff for making my birthday stay so enjoyable. I highly recommend the Magnolia Hotel to anyone visiting Houston and look forward to staying again soon.

We had a great experience at the Magnolia. The only thing was that there wasn’t an ice machine on every floor .

This hotel is nice and the rooms are clean and spacious. For the money and location, it is overall a decent hotel. Main drawbacks are the lack of self-serve parking which requires you to pay the 54$ a day valet fee or brave the second drawback: the homeless people living right outside of the hotel. They were everywhere on the block of the hotel, including one next to the doors and one had even out a curtain up against the service door of the hotel to sleep. We understand that the world is full of these kind of problems but staying at a hotel surrounded by obvious dr*g use and homelessness was obviously less than ideal and put a damper on our stay. This is a hotel that has all the average amenities that the majority of hotels have nowadays: fitness center, pool, bar, breakfast (not included in the cost of the room and no option to do that) so it seemed to us to not really be worth the trouble of worrying whether we were going to get from the hotel to our car and back safely or that our car would get broken into overnight.

Shuttle helpful if destination is only a mile away.
Breakfast the second day was excellent on the third day it was poor had to wait 40 minutes to get plates for breakfast buffet and coffee and I had to go ask someone to assist. There was no fresh fruit. Valet service was excellent.

We recently stayed one night at the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Houston and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to access nearby attractions and restaurants. The property was clean, well-maintained, and welcoming.

The staff was exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were both quick and hassle-free, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The valet attendants were polite, professional, and very efficient—they had our vehicle ready promptly whenever we needed it.

We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which offered a good variety of options and was a great way to start the day. Overall, the Magnolia Hotel provided excellent service, a comfortable stay, and a convenient downtown location. We would definitely stay here again.

The building is not well maintained. They still have the original single pane windows that open, which seems like a tremendous safety hazard not to mention they make it really hot. Our window on the 12th floor was broken and “fixed” with tape. The first room had a broken a/c so we got a new room with a broken window and stained carpet. The whole building smells musty, moldy and gross. Tons of dings and scratches all over walls and even ceilings???? How does that happen? I called the number to the restaurant and was transferred FOUR times before someone would take my order. Anyhow, food was decent and staff was nice but the facility itself needs better upkeep.

One of the primary reasons I selected the hotel was the pool amenity; however, upon arrival, I learned the pool was not open. This closure was not disclosed on the website or communicated prior to my stay.

Additionally, I was not informed that a prom event would be taking place the evening of my arrival. The event significantly impacted the atmosphere and guest experience, including changes to the restaurant service. Instead of the expected dining experience, the restaurant was relocated to another space that felt more like a pickup area than a proper restaurant setting.

Had these conditions been communicated in advance, I would have had the opportunity to make a more informed decision regarding my accommodations.

I was extremely impressed with the staff and the cleanliness of the Magnolia. The customer service was exceptional and it was the first time in a while where “extras” are included in the stay. They had a shuttle that was always available when I needed it, breakfast was provided and it was a lovely restaurant dining experience. They offered complimentary water and coffee in the lobby, as well as complimentary water bottles in the rooms. The cleaning service was great. The entire staff was friendly and responsive. I will definitely stay there again.

There are elevator delays as the elevators are old and slow and not sufficient for the size of the hotel. Ours were not working most of the time we were there for a wedding. the stairways were dirty and smelly and even the hallways in the hotel had a bad smell.

The food menus were lacking in variety and appeal. The pozole I ordered consisted of only broth, dried out meat and garbanzo beans- it was tasteless. I was expecting more Texas or southern dishes to be offered. There was no option for decaffeinated coffee anywhere in the hotel, except the in-room coffee. For the price, the hotel turned out to be a disappointment.

The hotel was nice, our room was lovely, the restaurant and bar area were very nice. The only problem we encountered was a downed two elevators out of three upon afternoon check-in. It took quite a while to get onto the elevator and up to our room on the 21st floor.
My husband went to the fitness center on the top floor and said it was so hot. He could not stay and work out very long.

I was a little hesitant in booking this hotel but I'm glad that I did. We enjoyed our stay. This old gem is located near alot of things in Htown. We appreciated the free shuttle within 1mile radius which saves on Uber.. We did decide to park in the garage across for $20 but no in/out versus valet. The other great thing there is the 2nd floor restaurant/ bar, The Dispatch...The bartender,Ty, was great, attentive and very nice..along with her manager (K?, can't remember his name) but the drinks and food was good...Overall, from checking in (even the valet guys) to checking out was great!!! We will be back.

We were not able to check in at 4 pm. The staff said it would take up to an hour to clean the room. They told us they would text us when the room was ready and they never did. We had to go back to the front desk and were then told that the room had been ready. After we checked into the room, the bathtub had hair in it and did not appear to have been clean. As for toiletries, the only think in the room was a bar of soap and hand lotion. Disappointing for a Marriot property
