The hotel was very nice , but they kept taking charges out of my account after the deposit was already paid and couldn’t give me an explanation.
- 2/5
The property is beautiful and well kept. However, don’t let the hotel fool you. There are additional charges that they will charge you on top of what you book through the third-party booking company. The office did not tell me that I was going to get charged an additional $58 as a “ resort fee” for just staying at the hotel while I had already paid all of my room fees in advance. Also take a note that they’re going to take a $200 deposit upfront. It was a little confusing at first when I arrived because I was unaware that the Front Desk is located on the second floor. There are no signs and you just have to figure it out. Also, you will need your key card to use the elevators otherwise you won’t be able to go to your room. The parking is a parking garage and it is $20 a day and/or there is a charge every single time you leave the parking garage and return later (I.e., go out to dinner). It may be better to stay at a hotel on the outskirts if you are looking to save money. However, it is a beautiful view from the window at night. I probably won’t stay here again though.

After waiting ~30 min for a bartender to show up i was informed he was too busy and to ask the front desk. Went to the front desk where he too was busy and said he could not help. The Restaurant was closed, but a nice lady did help me there even though she was obviously on break. Staffing at the hotel is definitely lacking.

Only cons: One morning we decided to eat breakfast at the restaurant inside of the hotel— Hull & Oak. We ordered very basic biscuits & gravy w/ a side of roasted potatoes. It took almost an hour for our food to arrive to our table. The food was just okay. Definitely don’t go if you’re starving, if you want to check it out for yourself. And the other con is we did not have a fridge in our room.. huge bummer for us. We like to keep our drinks cold, leftovers in there, etc. So that was a let down. Anyways, thanks for a great place for us to stay while visiting!

Very clean, great location It's a very expensive place. One of the things that interested me however, is that there are supposedly two on-site restaurants. That's not actually the case. There's no sit down restaurant, or at least it wasn't open the days I was there. You can only place bar food orders at the bar, and it took over an hour for a quesadilla and soft pretzel. On a Thursday evening. Also, the elevator was broken. Finally, there's this strange set of doors in the room, which, when opened, completely reveal the shower. I mean everything is wide open. So if you had kids there or friends, it could be really awkward. For the money, I've been to much nicer places that really accommodate guests properly.

This was my first stay in Houston. I was visiting from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The stay was outstanding! The staff from the front desk, to housekeeping, to my restaurant server, to the staff at the bar who took my order after the restaurant closed offered exceptional service, especially Akeem (not sure of the spelling). The view of my room was amazing, and the location of the hotel was in walking distance from local eateries. It is a very nice and well maintained Marriott property in downtown Houston. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Laurel Hotel!

My stay at The Laura Hotel was absolutely amazing. From valet to check-in and throughout my entire stay, the service was professional, welcoming, and efficient. The staff went above and beyond to make what started as a stressful weekend feel relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel atmosphere, bar experience, and overall hospitality left a lasting impression. As someone who travels periodically, I can honestly say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve had, and I will definitely be returning whenever I visit Houston.

No refrigerator, no hairdryer, no ice machine! There was a wrapper on the floor. If housekeeping didn’t notice or pickup the wrapper what else didn’t they do? The A/C never went below 70. We like it COLD! One of the cards for our room didn’t work. If one of these was the only issue I wouldn’t be leaving a negative review!

Did not eat breakfast at hotel. Room had no mini fridge so we could not keep water cool. Staff at check-in and checkout was not friendly at all. Staff in the hotel bar was the only positive experience: allowed us to have a glass of wine although they had just closed the bar. Will not return to this hotel and this is the first time I ever had to say this.

The room was average, the carpet had stains, the bed was "EXTREMELY" uncomfortable. It was hard as a rock and my back ached the entire stay. Very disappointing. Someone banged on our door our last night stay at 3 or 4 in the morning. Don't know what that was about, we did not answer because we didn't think it was safe to do. For the price, I would not stay at your property again.

The hotel is gorgeous but the King sized bed was a Queen, the restaurant had gnats (bar area) the actual restaurant was closed but the food (dinner) looked like a tv dinner. Fried chicken was HIGHLY questionable, there was a piece of hair in my water. We did not pay for our meal, we could barely eat from the gnats swarming around our food. I was just disgusted to say the least. I expected more from this "luxury" hotel. NEVER AGAIN!

While the hotel itself is very nice, it was difficult and in the end unpleasant as the staff was either unable or indifferent to responding to our requests. Four times in one day I had to ask for housekeeping and two days in a row to correct an over charge of a hotel room despite the fact that I had paid for the rooms in advance.

Great location. Even enjoyed the spa. It was my best friend and I for a girls weekend. We enjoyed massages at the spa. Even though the spa is small, it was amazing. Highly recommend. Only complaint is there’s no ice machines. Had to go to the bar and get 2 cups of ice.

The room was nice and bed was comfortable. The bathroom offers little privacy so beware if you are shy - specifically in the shower. There’s no lock on the toilet room door, FYI. The staff at check in was not very pleasant or helpful. My biggest issue with the hotel was all the charges - they charge for everything! I get that’s the norm sometimes but wow. Our room service breakfast which had a menu price of $38 ended up being $65 because of service charges, gratuity (yes both were automatically charged), delivery fee, and a syrup fee (that make no sense because we didn’t even get or need syrup for our meal). They have an app with Marriott Bonvoy but we quickly realized that doesn’t actually correlate or make things easier through the hotel - I checked in prior to arriving and though the app said my room was ready, it was not. There were separate apps for room service and valet. Valet was $65 but for some reason got charged $75 before tip. Overall, I will likely stay somewhere different in the future.

I took my boyfriend to Houston for his birthday to see Miami Heat play the Houston Rockets and we stayed at The Laura Hotel, first off when i saw this hotel i instantly knew this was the hotel to stay the rooms looked great because that the firat thing i look at when booking when we got there the staff was nice and the hotel overall was so cute we loved it especially because the area was very quite and it was in walking distance to the red line train which takes you right in front on thr NRG stadium its always a 5 min walk to rhe toyota center and i loved that after a certain time at night they look the doora to the hotel so you have to ise your key card to get in which for me was perfect and also very safe that not just anyone cam just walk in i give it a 10/10 will definitely stay here again the next time im in Houston.

This Hotel overbooked and moved my reservation to another lesser hotel without my approval. They sent an email a couple hours before check in but I was on the road so was totally unaware. I was in a hurry to get to a work event so I didn't have any time to dispute or research another hotel option. They did comp the cost for the other hotel which was a nice gesture but overbooking and telling someone upon arrival that you are not staying at the booked hotel is unacceptable. From the looks and condition of the lobby the place looked very nice which make it even more disappointing.

Hotel is beautiful and in a great location. We stay here exclusively when we go to concerts at House of Blues. The girl at the front desk was great and the room was spotless, as usual. Our only complaint this time was the service at the bar. We waited at the table for a long time and finally had to get up and ask the bartender if we were going to get service. He was nice and took our order after that. The food took forever and came out luke warm, as if it had been sitting for awhile. My daughters salad with salmon didn't show up at all. After complaining, manager said there was a problem with the salmon and they were remaking it and would take it off the bill. Great! It finally came out, after we were all done eating, and the salmon was completely raw in the middle. Informed the manager who said "Sorry, we had taken it off the bill anyway...". Absolutely not ok! Truth is, the server forgot to put in the order, or the kitchen forgot to make it, so they lied and tried to rush out the dish and presented us with undercooked fish. We expect more from a hotel that charges what it does per night. All that being said, the rooms and location are amazing and we'll give them another shot next time and see how it goes!!

The stay was not bad, but it was not the greatest. When paying for a city view. I would expect most of the city but what we got was a large mural wall and then some of the city. It was pretty disappointing. Especially when paying over $200 for a night. When arriving I noticed there was no fridge. Which is very surprising. I called the front office they asked if we would like to be delivered one which was nice. But when it was delivered I guess they thought the best spot was to put it right in the middle of the hall and in front of the door, and when we asked if that’s where it would be placed. They had an attitude and had to answer as in we were dumb to ask that. Not sure why you would take the fridge out of the hotel in general. Everything seems to be a bit outdated, the couch had stains all over and the shower heads seem a bit rough with ridiculous amount of sounds when turning the water on. We just tried to make the best of it. The bar was nice and the food was great and the front desk also very kind. I personally don’t see my self ever booking again here. I would definitely bring the fridges back seems like a very important part for guests staying there.

I took a star away simply because for a luxury hotel that charges destination fees per stay I shouldnt have to ask for a microwave or mini refrigerator. It was easy to get the mini refrigerator due to a young staff helping me at the desk. The microwave on the other hand the next day was hard to get due to the front desk older staff not even attempting to help me find one and telling me the hotel had absolutely no microwaves. It took someone not working the front desk to find someone to bring me a microwave to my room. May not be important to others, but for me it is when I book at a hotel. Besides that everything else was great. The breakfast, the bar and grill, the hotel room, the shower, the partnership Laura hotel has with Lifetime Fitness gym, the beautiful design of the building and how its connected to other business/restaurants is definitely a good enough reason to book it.

Cleaning crew did not come once to straighten up the room during entire duration of stay ( 2 Days ) no mini fridge in the room, & the valet was super slow when it was not busy and they had fully staff on site. We inquired about a car service to help with us “ Getting Around “ and did not hear back. I would not revisit.

We inquired about a car service to help with us “ Getting Around “ and did not hear back. I would not revisit.

You are required to buy an extra $25 convenience pass. It gives you access to the gym and $13 voucher to the restaurant. We weren’t there long enough to use the voucher so we didn’t want to pay, but it’s not optional, just a classy money grab gimmick for such a fancy hotel.. The hotel itself and staff and location are wonderful.

So first off valet parking is too high. $75 to valet park. We opted out of valet parking and parked on street but the valet company still charged my card for valet parking. I was told secuirty hold was $150 but it was really $200.Also some of the light bulbs in our room were out. I informed front desl but they never cjanged it. They only gave us 1 wasg cloth for two people. Breakfaat was over rated and exoensive..

The Laura is a great hotel. The amenities, restaurants and bar are top notch. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the services offered by the hotel and offered great suggestions for nearby restaurants and entertainment. I enjoyed my stay. No complaints.

We were disappointed. It looked much nicer online. The area is right downtown, very dirty and run down. When we arrive at 7pm, the valet was no where in sight. We waited 15 minutes, still no valet, so finally parked ourself right in front of the door. Then as we were checking in he finally game by to get our keys so he could move it. Never once said he was sorry for not being available. The hotel itself is just ok. We were glad we were staying for only one night. We'd choose a different area next time.

We had some issues at first but they were very nice and made up in a major way, upgraded our room to a suit , a bottle of wine, and a 100.00 for food are drinks . They were very nice . I would stay there again and i recommend any to stay there .

The hotel was nice . For the price the bed shouldn’t feel like a rock . I called before booking to make sure the tub could fit two people and there was a fridge. They assured me there was in the executive suite . That was a lie .. the tub could fit one midget but not two grown people let alone 1. Room service is already over priced as it is at any hotel but then they charge a 7 dollar delivery fee. How are you charging a delivery fee for room service . The parking was the absolute worst part . 66 dollars for valet per day . There is a parking garage that’s 24 dollars a night but if you leave out you have to pay again. On top of the 50 dollar a day “resort fee” the hotel isn’t worth the price.

Enjoyable business trip accommodations in a convenient downtown location. The positive aspects also include a clean, newly remodeled room, and lots of space. The negative aspects: no mini bar, limited room service that’s not good and no way to acquire those convenience items nearby. For a business traveler that is not ideal.

Cons: Not walkable, on site restaurant had poor service and food was servee cold, $25/day residence fee that was not communicated in advance, rooms were not cleaned well, did not replace towels until we requested, and they missed cleaning our room even after we asked for it to be cleaned. It was okay, not for the price and location, I wouldn't stay here again.

The room was beautiful and spacious, and room service staff was incredibly nice - but that’s about all the “good” I can say for this hotel. Room cleaning was sporadic - multiple days we were gone for hours and the room wasn’t cleaned in the time we were gone. One day we decided to just get new towels and wait for the cleaning the next day. Called down for towels - were told “of course!” - but they never came. When the room WAS cleaned, trash wasn’t removed, and it didn’t seem to be vacuumed. Shortly after checking out, I realized I left a number of things in a drawer in the bathroom. I reached out via Marriott Bonvoy app chat, and was told they’d look into it “after helping this guest” multiple times, but eventually the stay ended and the chat was lost. I called the hotel the next business day and left a message with the “lost and found” group, but never heard back. Overall I expect more for the price/brand.

Our corner king room was fantastic. Super comfortable bed, cool view of the tram line and buildings of Downtown Houston, and excellent modern bathroom with rain shower. Very large room for a downtown hotel in a major city. We didn't get to use the rooftop pool (rained all weekend), but it looked nice and fun, plus a beverage stand to purchase drinks. We came to Houston to see The Weeknd in concert, and the tram goes directly to NRG Stadium. We spent $6 total on round-trip door-to-door transportation. Would definitely stay at The Laura Hotel again!

The hotel overall was nice. The hidden charges are the problem. Paying for required meals and drinks, whether you want them was a surprise. The bright was the restaurant staff. Ms. Toni was truly wonderful, she made sure our breakfast experience was excellent. And the food was as well. Also the bartender made my wife an excellent drink. Expensive but the parking situation was good. Being able to order your car from your room via an app was great. Over nice but a bit expensive. Just be prepared for the extra expenses after you book.

This is the nicest hotel I've stayed in on a Houston trip so far. The tub in the deluxe room is only big enough for one person to hang out in comfortably, but you can see the TV from it. The pool has a great view. It's right on the train line and right across from a Starbucks, so the location is terrific. The valet was surprisingly expensive at like $80 overnight but the valets were very nice.
