We had the Thelma room and it had en excellent bed, shower and airco. If you have people upstairs you might hear it as there is a staircase next to the room and a room above. Staff is excellent as well and Tim and the young lady were especially helpful. The valet guy was super friendly and so was the rest of the staff we met. Breakfast is limited in choice but very good in quality.

Lovely Inn just west of downtown located near so many bars and restaurants. Rooms were fantastic and my bed was so comfortable. I stayed in one of the downstairs carriage house rooms and it was comfortable, with a great bathroom, and beautiful furnishings. Enjoyed my stay and will stay again on my next trip to Houston. Staff is outstanding and the main house is gorgeous. Enjoyed the Bar Madonna and enjoyed the included breakfast. Highly recommend.

Excellent excellent excellent. Every employee at The Marlene was so kind, so helpful, and so generous. We chose The Marlene to stay while we were in town for two days during our son's surgery, and it was perfect. They greeted our son by name when we arrived and were always checking in on how he was doing. We stayed in the Cottage and loved it. It felt like the property was ours. We cannot wait to go back for another stay or visit to Bar Madonna. We are absolutely in love with The Marlene Inn.
