Gorgeous landscaping amid twisting, spanish moss dripping live osks, the Effie was outstandibgly welcoming. The staff was remarkably friendly and aimed to please in every situation from arrival each time we left the sight to our final departure, we felt like family. The Baytown Wharf had much to offer from live music to a plethora of restaurant chouces and shopping just a short walk from Effie Hotel. The shuttle service to and from the beach was fantastic as no long waits were necessary. Golf and bike riding were pluses enjoyed by our teens as well as the rooftop pool. Though we didn't dine at the Effie, the restaurant was very inviting with live flowers on the tables, entryway of the hotel, and in the lobby. We WILL return.

Horrible check in . Waited an hr . Was told “ theres 1 house keeper for the whole floor /?? hotel and we are fully booked “ waited in the lobby . Literally had to walk around to find some water to drink . Arrived super tired after a long drive . More like a 1-2 star welcome experience. Less than average . Would rate it overall 5/10 . Pple who came in after us were checked in , i dont know if it was due to the balcony room . Its not like i booked this place last minute maybe 1-2 weeks before . The lady was apologetic did give me a keycard 30 mins into the wait then the other check in lady seemed to have said something and then she took it back and gave us a lower floor cos it was quicker . Please ensure rooms are ready if you have guests arriving would be my suggestion. beach is a drive away but theres a shuttle . We just drove , super crowded beaches ,like thousands cos it was spring break . 1 restaurant. Its one of those half baked so called 5 star Marriott experiences which is an average 5/10 if youre used to international 5 star hotels .
