Reviews
The Magnolia Hotel in downtown Houston is generally well-regarded for its location, staff, and amenities, but some guests have expressed concerns about cleanliness, parking, and value for money. The hotel's historic charm, rooftop pool, and complimentary breakfast are frequently mentioned as pros, while cons include slow elevators, poor sound insulation, and issues with parking and valet service.
- Great location in downtown Houston
- Friendly and attentive staff
- Parking is expensive and limited
- Some rooms have cleanliness and maintenance issues

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.

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.

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.

Entrance of the hotel. Great space of room. Not enough light in room.

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.

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.
- 5/5
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.

Walking distance to daikin stadium. Ac barley worked, elevators where barley responding to Input. For the price paid the room was very bare and not interesting. I have stayed at multiple other tribute portfolios, they had way more style and interesting things going for them (themes and such). I hate to sound like a total Karen. The staff was phenomenal and I had no issues whatsoever. I feel I could have got the same room somewhere else with half the price. Or also gotten a room for the same price somewhere else and gotten a lot more.

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

I guess if you want to prepare or heat any food you have to request dishes and silverware, etc. The room was missing the tv remote so we requested one and some extra hangers and a robe. It never came. We requested to use the shuttle and the driver was on break so the front desk was supposed to text me when he returned. Never did. So other than bad customer service the stay was good. The bar restaurant service was very good. The food was basic and just ok. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. Prices were good on food and drinks.

Area around the hotel is sketchy with homeless people and suspicious characters walking around. You must pay top dollar for valet since there's no parking at the hotel; however, the gentleman at the valet was very nice and friendly so that softened the blow a bit. Considering the hotel was expensive and nice inside, there needs to be quality control, especially in the elevators. There was a huge spill of ice cream or something in one of the elevators that was there until we let people know about it, and the number 6 was upside down to look like a 9 in one of the elevators. How does nobody in management see this? I wouldn't stay here again.

The room was appointed well and was spacious. The beds were comfortable, pillows were soft, the bathroom was roomy and I liked that the shower and toilet were separated from the bathroom sink space. We tried to use the hot tub but it was closed for maintenance. The gym was well equipped. The bar on the second floor was nice, and the staff made one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had.

The only area for improvement was the valet service. While the staff was courteous and professional, the vehicle retrieval process was consistently slow. On multiple occasions, we requested our car in advance but still experienced wait times of 15 minutes or more. Overall, this was a very positive experience, and I would definitely stay here again.

I have never slept so good and felt more relaxed. I would recommend this hotel a million times over. Great Southern Hospitality from the moment of check in at the front desk to the time I checked out. Beautiful place with clean rooms and hallways. A second level with a piano and buffet bar too was the cherry on top. I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

Front desk was extremely rude, neither the gentlemen or the young lady at the front desk even acknowledged my existence and we stood there quite awhile without ever being greeted. Nobody was around so it wasn’t a matter of them being busy. I was not told anything about my room, stay, or amenities. It wasn’t until later when I met a friend in the lobby who was also checking in where they bothered explaining things to HER. My first stay here was great but the second time will be the last.

only issue was tv remote control. it needed to be changed. could not make the chosen selection.
- 3/5
It may seem like a small thing, but when you’re paying the prices this hotel charges. Especially when they nickel and dime you for everything, a working TV remote shouldn’t be too much to ask. We also ordered room service, and while the man who delivered it was very kind, the food itself was extremely mediocre and wildly overpriced. The biggest disappointment, though, was the service downstairs. Aside from the younger woman who helped us check out this afternoon (she was great), most of the staff were rude, dismissive, and acted incredibly pretentious. Definitely not the standard of hospitality you’d expect, especially coming home as a Houston native. They could really benefit from better customer service training. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing experience.

This is definitely an example of a catfish hotel. The lobby and communal areas are modern and recently remodeled but the rooms give more of an old hotel/motel vibe. Very dingy, poor lighting, just the feeling of being old and lived in. Stains on the walls, discolored toilet seats.
- 4/5
We sleep cold, and forgot our fan at home, they did not have one to offer. The AC decided at 10pm to get a little warm and stayed that way for quite a few hours. If that would not have been an issue I would have definitely given 5 stars. The hotel is unique, Clean, charming, and worth staying at.

Property staff was beyond rude for a Monday morning. Not cooperating with the only plan I had to see the sunrise at the rooftop pool. It was suppose to be open at 7 by someone. Front desk didn’t bother to reach out to the person and said it was because the building is old. The one thing I wanted to do
- 5/5
The hotel is excellent if you’re staying downtown because there’s easy access for walking to multiple places, including restaurants, the courthouse and other activities in downtown Houston. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the dining and bar are really good. It is also a great place to have an event or wedding.There is valet on property at about $54 per night or $20 for the day but there’s street parking across the street as well. I parked at the street parking every day except for Sunday because the church across the street. Has it blocked off in the morning for church. 10/10 high recommend

This was am excellent location! I walked to the Hobby Center and to the Discovery Garden for the SSF25 without any problems. The view from the room was even better. All of which waa made possible by Maddy and Brooke at the front desk. I had breakfast with great service from Tawande and his staff, and ask for Victor (concierge). He was full of information and a delight to talk to. At this time, there were a couple of wedding parties and other group celebrations, but it was so well managed. The king bed is super comfortable and the TV was sports fan appropriate size. Highly recommend this hotel. Will definitely make this a frequent / regular stay.

Loved the location and vibe ( College Football fans, Wedding guests ect ) and being engulfed in downtown area between buildings. Definitely will be back with family to likely take in an Astros game.

Hotel is nice, ice machine not working & had to go 3 floors down to find one. Bathtub doesn’t hold water, slowly drains, AC didn’t work very well…other than those issues (which could have been just an off weekend or bad room) hotel is nice. Staff is friendly, Valet guys are on point and very respectful and diligent. Bar is kinda small, went to check it out and it was packed.

When we got to our room, it would not cool past 75 degrees and it felt so hot. We called and an engineer came to our room almost immediately. He checked the AC and he wasnt able to fix it right away so they gave us a new room, dropped off a luggage cart, and the key to our room so we didnt have to go down. The new room was beautiful, cool, and had a great view. Breakfast was good as well!

My stay at the Magnolia was great! The staff were welcoming and helpful. The Magnolia was very clean and elegant. The room was as pictured. The pool and other amenities were also great. The location of the Magnolia is a perfect spot to walk to all the tourist locations Downtown Houston has to offer. And if you’re unable to walk the Magnolia offers a free shuttle to the destinations within a 1 mile radius. We had an amazing time with the Magnolia and would stay there again.
