Avoid guest rooms on the fifth floor, where the health club is located -- a smell of chlorine sometimes infiltrates the air-conditioning.
Fodor's "Business travelers enjoy easy access to Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the I–610/Uptown corridor." Full review
Gayot "The luxurious atmosphere of this JW Marriott is evident to guests as soon as they walk through the front doors into the lobby."
BlackBook "Aimed at business travelers, this place is perfect for those who want to be close to the shops of the Galleria across the street without all the noise."
Zagat4.2
"The staff "goes above and beyond" at this "elegant" chain member boasting a "wonderful location" across the street from the Galleria shopping mall."
Star Service "Occupying twin 23-story towers 10 minutes west of downtown, this place looks as forbidding as a fortress from a distance but it is perhaps this locale's warmest and most welcoming." Full review
