Front desk staff was unable to get reservations correct. I called 3 times to confirm and reservations were wrong each time. No heat in the room on snowy day. Power went out for 2 days. Tried to cancel a room and phones didn’t work. Just bad all around.

Let’s start with a bit of a backstory: a party of 15 of us arrived Friday evening. There was a small snowstorm that day. The Woodlands resort apparently lost power because of it on Friday morning. None of us received a phone call to notify us of this issue. When we get to the hotel around 7PM, they are turning people away saying there is a shortage of rooms. They reluctantly gave us all rooms, all of which had a plethora of issues. Most of the rooms had only partial electricity and no heat. We did not have an option to stay somewhere else, as the manager, Nobu, refused to give us a refund. At 2AM, I was woken up to the carbon monoxide detector in my room going off. We let the front desk know, who did nothing. Turns out they were running 3 diesel powered generators inside with no ventilation. I called the Plains fire department, which showed up quickly. They tested the carbon monoxide levels in the room where the generators were, which read at dangerous and potentially life threatening levels. The fire department turned off the generators (which turned out to not even be powering anything, as the hotel only had a blown fuse and was receiving all of their electricity from the street). We were told to not go to sleep, as they tested other areas of the hotel. We were finally given the go ahead to sleep at 5AM. Nobu refused to give us a refund for this issue. He was incredibly rude to us and to his employees. We all paid full price for this horrible and scary experience.

The property is conveniently located but we booked through Expedia and the room said it slept four. Upon arrival it very clearly only slept two. The front desk was really great but housekeeping needs training on appropriate behavior We had been traveling for a week and about 6 hours that day And we're just ready to settle. We ended up having to change rooms which was double the price. Called a presidential suite The pull-out sofa in this room was absolutely horrendous. They had no extra blankets. There was mold all over the double shower. The two extra blankets they dropped off looked like random throws. They pulled it up somebody's car.. One was covered in white residue and the other was actually crusty. All of the furniture in this suite is old and scratched up with Large areas of paint missing. The woodlands used to be known as a really nice establishment. I haven't been back to the area in close to a decade and can tell it has gone downhill. We travel often And pretty regularly get Suites to accommodate our family size And I would say there was nothing presidential about this location other than a jetted tub. We were in a hurry to get on the road or else I would have asked to speak to a manager that morning before we left. I did get photos of everything
