Hotels Near Southside Skatepark in Harris County

Van not shuttle When the hotel shuttle came to get us at the airport, I was underwhelmed to see it was a mini van with a courtyard sticker on the side doors. This should've been the clue that the hotel was not going to be what it usually is for Marriot Courtyard.  Lobby/Hotel/Breakfast The lobby front desk service waa good and from the outside of the hotel and lobby it looked like a usual Marriot Courtyard. The entire first floor also. Breakfast is an additional charge; not included as typical for Marriot Courtyards. Room There is a musty/almost moldy smell upon entering the room.  Chipped wall paint, cracked bath tub and carpet is enough for me to hypothesize that this was a former motel and they just didn't give it the upgrade to match the usual Marriot Courtyard standards.  If you're here to rest your head for a night, sure it's fine, but don't expect it to be the typical Marriot Courtyard standard.

We stayed at this hotel because we needed a place to rest our heads after a flight out of the Hobby airport. So the location was perfect. We used the complimentary airport shuttle which was provided to us without any glitches. The driver was on time and friendly. The clerk was friendly and provided us with what we needed for the night. For the price we paid, and location, this hotel was perfect for what we needed. I think there could have been more options for breakfast but we did not set out to eat much when we got there anyway

So my sister and I stayed at this location in April 2024. She booked the rooms as she is an Elite member and we got two adjoining King rooms. I got to the hotel and found that it is the type of hotel where the hallway is open so you can see down into the lobby and they have a glass elevator. That is something I should have paid attention to and looked at further pictures of the hotel. I never would have stayed there as I dont like heights. My fault not the hotels. We go to the rooms and they were very nice. Nice modern bathroom, everything seemed clean and comfortable. We put some stuff away and went to have lunch with relatives. While we were away my sister telephoned the hotel, explained the situation on my not wanting to be on that high of a floor and they moved us to the third floor when we got back. That is when things started to change. My tv had the cable unplugged and I could not get it plugged in so they sent someone up right away to fix it. That was fine but my sister's phone was not working and they said they would send someone to repair it and never did. It was incredibly cold so we mentioned it leaving for the evening and they said they would send someone up. When we got back it had gone from incredibly cold to hot and the phone still did not work. I was able to sleep most of the night and we were busy the next day so didnt mention it. Before we left for the day we had the breakfast buffet and we enjoyed it and the female server we had who was very nice and in fact we had her all three days and hated to tell her goodbye. We came back late in the evening to a still hot room but again since they had moved us I thought I could sleep again through the night but I woke up at least twice as it was too hot. The next morning I got up and my sister told me she had ants on her counter. We stopped by the desk on the way out and told them about the heat and the ants. When we returned that evening both rooms had been cooled down however she discovered ants on the bed she had been using . They were gone from the counter and now were in the bed. She went down to the desk and they informed her they could move her to a room around the corner from mine as they had no one to take care of the ant problem that night. She moved her items into the other room and when I went to help her came back to discover that I no longer get into MY room because the keys would not work. I dont know if it was because she had moved her room and her name was on both rooms or what but after going back to he desk not once but twice for new keys with no success they sent an employee up and he fixed my door. This was after my sister's keys didn't work the first day and they had given her a new set which never worked but we didn't bother changing them because my room was connected. The hotel itself was beautiful. The employees were helpful but the things that occurred should never have happened in the first place. I would not have sta

Last minute visit to Houston for an family emergency and this place was great for the price. My room was clean and freindly staff. Only bad thing the restaurant/bar won’t open till later this month so you must pick up found when your out. Also you have to leave to drive up gulfway to pick up food because nothing is walking distance really but a bbq restaurant and gas station but too hot for that. Not much to do that’s close to hotel but I would stay again for a quick drop in for an emergency.

Checked in online but when we got to hotel no one was at the desk so had to wait on Nina to get a card key who acted as if she was drunk and basically just stares at you. Finally get checked get to the room and looked clean however found a live roach in the bathroom. Let that go as we are close to the water. Went to bed and was jarred awake at 1:15 in the morning by someone opening the door to our room. They did not knock, or announce who they were until we screamed at them. Thankfully we had the bar on the door or he would have been in the room. Claimed he was maintenance, of course cannot sleep after this incident. Call the desk at 7am and told they would find out and let me know what had happened and why. No call or explanation so I go to the front desk at 10:30 to get information on why. Same blank stare from Nina who proceeds to give me bull story that there was a water leak and they didn’t know room was occupied and I should lock the door next time. Still not an apology so I go back to the room and as I get in the elevator I’m watching Nina on the phone laughing and watching me. Get back to the room to shower and find more roaches and there is no hot water at all, let it run for 30 minutes still nothing. Tell front desk they say oh we can move you. I’m like don’t bother we are checking out and going to hotel across the street because of this stay. I ask for late check out because I can’t get into the new hotel til 2 and I was informed that to get late check out I would have to pay 15 dollars. I asked if a manager could approve not paying that since this stay was not up to par and I’m told manager will be that at 6am and she can’t approve it but would find out and let me know. Got a phone call in the room at 1030pm saying it was approved at no cost for a late check out. Needless to say we will never be back to this hotel! I warn anyone who doesn’t like bugs to not stay here. Now we will need to leave our things outside to unpack when we get home just in case I brought home bugs from this stay!

A large, comfy, quiet room close to where we needed to be. I’ve never driven in the Houston area, though, and the one-way roads around the location made getting around a bit confusing. The breakfast was completely lackluster, but will do if you have limited alternatives. However, the close proximity to the reason for my travel and comfort would bring me back during future trips.

Feeling OK

Really good location!! Conveniently located on the side of I10 and several restaurants. The rooms are well kept and very clean, property is in very good conditions and the staff is very friendly and willing to help with anything you need. I will be using this location in the future
