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."

Weekend rates sometimes dip abnormally low for this brand's reputation, and pets are allowed upon request, free of charge.
