The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center

We attended a WhistlePig Bourbon Dinner here, and had the most enjoyable evening. We were seated indoors with a beautiful view of the Waterway and the fire pits outside, with the trees lit up, which created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The chefs did a great job with the menu, everything was thoughtfully prepared and well-paced. The octopus appetizer and the bison tenderloin stood out, and the courses paired nicely with the bourbon without feeling heavy. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the evening. I highly recommend both the hotel and the restaurant, not just for out-of-town guests, but also for locals or anyone looking for a relaxing staycation. I’m listing the menu below simply to highlight the culinary talent behind the evening, as every course was well executed and memorable. Appetizer * Charred Spanish Octopus | Bourbon Smoked Aioli | Bean Cassoulet Salad * Smoked Duck Breast | Poached Fennel & Prune | Arugula | Pomegranate Seeds | Valencia Orange Vinaigrette Entrée (select one) * Juniper Berry-Encrusted Bison Tenderloin | Birch Bourbon Demi-Glace | Celeriac Puree | Baby Heirloom Carrots * Herb Pistachio Encrusted Lamb Rack | Parsnip Puree, Mint Rosemary Jus | Tri Colored Heirloom Beets | Acorn Squash Dessert * Fire Grilled Spiced Plum | Winter Stone Fruit Compote Vanilla Bean Gelato | Spiced Candied Macadamia & Pecans

It was very clean and staff was nice as always

There was a winter storm and they didn’t service the rooms for 2 days. Only provided clean towels, only when asked for

I loved where it’s located, it was very nice to be able to walk places.

No vending machines

Toqufik was friendly and helpful at the front desk making check In, check out very easy and answered my numerous questions throughout the busy dance competition weekend. The kitchen and bar were busy all day and night and the staff remained friendly and calm.

Valet was great! So personalable and friendly! Never had a bad experience with them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would like to highlight the excellent service we received from Annalie Mureira during breakfast at Acqua. Her service was truly exceptional and went far beyond what I expected. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. My daughters were especially happy with their decaf drinks topped with whipped cream, which made their morning extra special. Unfortunately, our experience the night before at the bar was not the best, as the bartender and another server were not very friendly. I completely understand that working on New Year’s Eve can be challenging—I’ve worked many years in the same industry myself. That said, people like Annalie truly make a difference. She made our day better and ensured we left with a wonderful experience. Her kindness and professionalism are exactly what great hospitality is about.
