It's pretty vibrant, and not just during games. Considering the traffic, the remaining surface lots around disco green should disappear.

urbanize713 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wait, I thought all these business were going to fail after the super bowl?? No way is this accurate. All sarcasm aside it's great to see this being reported. Mainly for those who still do not believe or understand it is not just the delusion of HAIF posters but rather the reality of the transformation of downtown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been back since my first experience. Has anyone been in the last month? Was service credible and efficient? I have been a few times in the last month to watch the Astros on their screens and grab a burger. It is an easy place to eat, and then my kids go to Discovery Green afterwards. I really like taking out of towners there as it shows off the area, and that downtown is alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have been several times since the Super Bowl with locals and out-of-towners - we have not had any issues with service or food, and my out-of-town friends love the Texas pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Our family went to Biggios while we stayed at the Marriott. Enjoyed it greatly, but I am not a gourmet and as long as the service is functional, I'm happy. CrockpotandGravel has an extensive awareness of the Houston dining scene. His opinion perhaps?

Popular Post BeerNut Posted August 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I stayed here two weeks ago and had a great time. The pool was chill on Friday but Saturday was packed with people having their last pool staycation of the year. This is a picture I took before I went down and it got packed.

hindesky Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I guess all the NFL teams playing the Texans stay at the Marriott Marquis. The Flaming Thumbtacks from Tennessee have an 18 wheeler in the loading dock. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ugh I feel like I'm going to stumble over that edge just looking at that picture. But that is a beautiful view. I wish Google would do some night-time aerial imagery over big cities someday, that would be useless but really cool. I guess aside from being expensive and not commercially useful, there must be some technical issue with exposure times making such a thing hard to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
