This is false advertising. The rooms are disgusting. The internet and tv did not work. The outlets in the room did not work. The pool and gym were closed. There were bugs in the rooms. I am extremely disappointed this is list as a 4 star hotel it was the worst hotel I have ever walked into. I had to leave and book a new hotel, I am still waiting for my refund that I was told I would be getting.

I booked The Woodlands online because it boasted an exercise room and an indoor pool — both helpful for loosening up after a long day’s drive. I found the exercise room “closed for renovations” and the pool to be so poorly ventilated, there was mold and wet puddles along the indoor entrance hallway, plus thick condensation on the inner doors. I did not want to risk exposing myself to such unhealthy air, so I skipped using the dimly lit pool (wondering, too, if the water clean). Instead, I decided to walk briskly around the grounds. This led me to discover dilapidated empty cabins dating to an earlier era — which would have been okay if the hotel owner had bothered to clean up the mounds of trash surrounding these cabins (I went online and read a history of this place… the cabins are, or were, part of the hotel grounds). The online photos and Woodlands name led me to believe the hotel was in a wooded setting. It is actually sandwiched between a four-lane city street and an interstate highway. I discovered a lovely stream on one side of the mostly unoccupied hotel, though I couldn’t see this from my assigned ground-floor hotel room, which faced a parked car and city highway. Overall my impression is that this hotel has seen better days. In response to my query, a staff member told me that the property had left the hands of the founding family during the business downturn caused by COVID. I like to support non-chain establishments, but I will not be back to this one.

Woodland was a total no, no. The bed sheets were not changed for 4 days, no room service provided. They claimed not to be providing services over the weekend which is unheard of, even non was provided on Friday. You take out your own garbage, ask for towels. You literally have to do everything yourself..Room carpets were very dirty. Tv channels were archaic.

The poor lighting disguised the dirty floor marginally well, as did the half window with the upper half providing a great view of the parking lot. It wasn’t until headlights shone in that I really was able to see the gross gunk on the windows. Requested a quiet room and placed adjacent to nightclub. Drunken bar-closers banged on door at 2:10 am looking for room party, returning at 2:15. Calls to front desk were unanswered. Vending machine was almost empty. Clearly the “do not disturb” sign didn’t work against the bar patrons. Likewise, the “please make up this room” sign was also ineffective as housekeeping did not clean the room or make the bed during my stay. That is, until 8:30 am of my checkout morning when, despite the DND sign, housekeeping began to enter while I was still sleeping without knocking. NOTE: There is no way to lock the door from inside. Housekeeping returned less than an hour later (9:15) inform me I was supposed to check out (which was 11). I told them I would remove the sign when I left and to stop trying to come in. They didn’t like that. This room was horrifically overpriced for a sub ground level. Good notes: The Asian restaurant was delicious. The coffee shop was fantastic also (be sure to request voucher - front desk neglected to provide mine) and the young woman at the desk when I checked out was darling. I don’t blame the lousy service or management on her - she wasn’t there at any other time. Absolutely not returning. Ever.
