We recently stayed at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott, located in The Woodlands, Texas, an upscale community just north of the greater Houston area. We traveled there to attend a concert as a gift to our oldest daughter for her 16th birthday. I chose the hotel due to its proximity to the concert venue and because I am a longtime Marriott Rewards member. The hotel's website also indicates that it was named the "2013 Americas Marriott Hotel of the Year." In my opinion I made the right choice.
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the hotel was just how wonderful it smelled. I don't know what it was but the scent made me think "clean and elegant." The lobby is very nice. Just steps outside the back is the waterway itself.

Parking was easy. We had a choice of self-parking or valet parking. Even though we opted for self-parking the valets were very helpful with directions and never pushy. Parking in the adjacent parking garage is just seconds from the lobby entrance.

Both check-in and check-out were fast and easy. Every staff member we encountered was courteous and professional. Around midnight we called the front desk for more towels and in a matter of minutes they were delivered to our room.
We stayed in an executive level room on one of the upper floors. The room itself was quite spacious, very clean and had a great view of the waterway, pool, and the concert venue. (the venue, the Cynthia Mitchell Woods Pavilion, was only a few minutes walk from our room across a skywalk and through a parking garage). Our room included a sofa and a chair for lounging and the bathroom, with a large marble vanity area, was roomy enough to suit the needs of our group.
I tried to find something about the hotel that I did not like but I couldn't. Our experience with The Woodlands Waterway Marriott was great and I feel the price was quite reasonable. In my opinion we definitely got what we paid for if not more. We will be staying here again on future trips to the area.
