-The WORST I have ever been treated by a business-…read more I have been on this planet for almost 37 years now and have never been talked to, policed by, treated-as-poorly or had my integrity insulted by a business like I was this evening. The premise is simple - if the party does not pay to have bar service then NO alcohol is to be on the premises. (All-good at face value. After all, they are a business and protecting themselves.) What was NOT good was how they went about policing people coming into the party (going as far as to check inside of new arrivals trunks to check for alcohol! I'm sorry, are you the police?) The bartender actually went as far as to - literally here folks - RIP a bag of liquors out of my hands while I was on the phone with my wife. (Uhh...EXCUSE ME?! Assault people much?) This was not the end of our playful trysts of the evening. When we asked her to have the booze back so we could keep it sealed and place it into our locked vehicles, she said that she couldn't do that due to the fact that the business couldn't monitor alcohol outside of the bar. "OK, well - that's my property and I'm going to go put it in my vehicle (again, also my property), where it can stay put and remain unopened." Again, she said she couldn't do that. "So, you're saying that I cannot have my property back?" "Yes sir. I'm sorry, but that is our policy - we simply do not have the staff available to follow individuals around the whole night to make sure they are complying with our policy." "OK! So then can you apologize for acting so rudely and unprofessionally, as to actually remove the bag from my possession while I'm having a conversation with my wife on the phone?! Or, is it too much for me to ask for an additional apology for insulting my integrity?" "Sir, I don't know why you are getting upset and rude with me." At this point I turn to my co-worker beside me and give him the look. [Um, I don't remember calling her any names or yelling or otherwise throwing a tantrum. I've been very calm and understanding up until this point.] "Ma'am, obviously there's been a miscommunication. But we're not being rude with you or upset, although now I'm beginning to become upset." Long story short, we talked with the head of our party, who spoke with the manager. Stephanie, the manager, gave permission for the alcohol to be moved into the bridal suite where there is a refrigerator. I then proceeded to move said liquor to the bridal suite. ---Fast forward 1 hour later--- Well the ceremony is done and it's a hot day. I'm headed over to the bridal suite to have a quick cocktail - not to leave the suite of course! - Only to find out that they had come back into the suite and...get this; STOLEN the liquor!!! No notice. No 'Hey, by the way, we needed to move the liquor in your suite for whatever lame excuse I can come up with.' NOTHING. I swear. It took everything I had at the end of the night not to throw a bottle through a plate glass window! The nerve of these people! I don't know how you could expect someone to have a decent experience when you treat your guests with such blatant disrespect!! So on the hospitality scale, I would give this place a -10. However, I'm sure that if you opt-in for the open bar then you'll have a good time. Provided no one in your party actually has to deal with the snooty-brat-turned-bartender; or has any civil misunderstanding with management. By the way, the view is fantastic! :)

The servers are dressed in flight attendant uniforms and the decor is all related to a flight to a far away land. We learned from Jennifer, our "attendant," that the flight theme comes from wine flights. The wine bar started in a very small area serving wine flights. They grew to the location they are in now. The aesthetic, the food and the music will make you forget you're in Texas. As soon as we walked in, the owner, Thomas appeared from nowhere greeting us and asking about our day. He took time to listen and introduce himself to us. He escorted us to a quaint area with a love seat and chairs so we could take in the entire restaurant. The setting of the restaurant has tables, couches or loungers and a bar that is both inside and out. We enjoyed a cheese and olive tray which paired perfectly with our wine. I enjoyed a glass of Bilo Idro (similar to a Chenin Blanc) and my husband enjoyed a glass of Clos Pissarra (similar to a red blend). Before we left, Jennifer gave us a taste of her favorite white wine as our parting gift in hopes we will return soon. Listen. When I say we will be back. We will be back. I just found my favorite wine and book spot!!!

My experience here was unfortunately defined by the hosting more than the food. Upon arrival, I saw…read morethe pan being prepared for paella and greeted the man and woman on the deck in front. They informed me they were going to an maje paella. I of course replied, 'I'm in!' My wife and kids inside, we were seated in an empty dining room and immediately informed of the number of reservations the restaurant was expecting, followed by a firm notice that our table would need to be turned within an hour and a half. She went on to inform us of how busy they expected to be that day. This was communicated before we were offered a wine menu, water, or any standard welcome. If I were looking to buy in or invest, it would be fine to discuss the ebb and flow of business but we wanted just to try a new place. I understand that reservation management is part of running a successful restaurant, but how that information is delivered matters a great deal. Leading with constraints rather than hospitality sets an uncomfortable tone -- particularly in a room with empty tables. A simple acknowledgment of the time window after seating, paired with the wine list and a warm greeting, would have made the same operational point without making guests feel like an inconvenience. Ultimately, we decided not to disrupt the reservations and spend our day elsewhere. I would encourage management to revisit front-of-house training. The first ninety seconds of a guest's experience shapes the entire meal, and prioritizing efficiency over welcome undermines whatever the kitchen has to offer. My prediction; less than two years this place will be up for lease.

From the planning process to the big day, everyone was kind, professional, and accommodating. That said, we do feel it's important to mention that the DJ company we hired from their all inclusive package (EC Entertainment) completely ruined every key moments of our day, including all the ceremony music, cocktail hour, grand entrance, and our first dance. Our assigned DJ was completely unprofessional. He had ample amount of time to fix the issue, call for help, or at least communicate the issue to someone after the ceremony and did not. Instead he went on with our grand entrance and first dance knowing the sound was completely screwed up. During our first dance he was crashing out, hands on head, pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do. If we could go back we would have been way more intentional in choosing a DJ. Music is such an important part of a wedding, we trusted EC Entertainment and they completely let us down. So many moments of our wedding that were supposed to be special were stolen from us. We will never get those back. No amount of apologies will fix it. Important to mention that our DJ also did not reach out to us for the first time until three days before our wedding. We would absolutely NOT recommend EC Entertainment to future couples, however we do wholeheartedly recommend Addison Woods as a venue. They handled the situation with grace, understanding and compassion. They did everything they could to make it right. They couldn't have known it was going to happen. Please learn from our mistake, do not hire EC Entertainment. Meet with other DJ companies and find your fit.

There was no bartender so the mixed drinks on the menu were not an option. But things happen and being short staffed happens. The wait staff were all friendly and food came out in a timely manner. There were several little things - like the lotion on the cabinet was used and empty. Coffee cup lids in the room didn't fit the cups in the rooms. Small irritating things but nothing to ruin your day. But the big issue was that the shower was filthy. Looked like some type of bodily fluid was smeared on the wall. It's gross, but again, things happen. We requested it be serviced the morning after we arrived but were told the rooms were only serviced every other day and today was not the day. I nicely clarified that surely since the room was not clean at check- in, the products on the sink were used and such, that it could be cleaned today. Nope.

I can't emphasize enough how pleased I was with this property. It probably helps, though, that the…read moreprevious evening we'd stayed at another hotel that was deeply disappointing. That said, it shouldn't take anything away from the excellence offered by this hotel. COVID protocols were definitely in place which was fine with me. Masks and social distancing were required. Staff: Very welcoming, efficient, professional and polite. Services: I suspect that the gym and pool were probably closed due to COVID as I didn't see anyone using either amenity. This was the case at the hotel we stayed at the night before and I have to say that I don't quite get it. It strikes me that you can socially distance and mask up in both places. Oh, well. The Courtyard by Marriott had ample parking and it was free. I often use Hotwire to book my hotel stays and before I got wise, I'd get a wonderful deal that turned out to be not so great when paid parking was factored in. My advice -- always list free parking as a must have! The room: Bright and so very clean, and the king bed was delightfully comfortable. But let's go back to bright. The lighting in this room was actually adequate to the point of being able to read a book or newspaper without eye strain! It happens to be a major pet peeve of mine that so many hotels never have enough light, even with every single lamp and overhead light turned on. Both bedside tables were equipped with plugs and USB ports. Yay. We had a microwave and small fridge and a fully equipped coffee service. You might well wonder why this is even a thing, but at the last place we stayed, the coffee service was decidedly lacking. The Courtyard had an interesting feature that I'd never used before. The television remote was bagged up in plastic, having been sanitized, I guess, but the hotel offered a service by which you could use a QR code that allowed you to use your smart phone as a remote -- really spoke to my inner nerd. I don't think my husband was as impressed so the remote was used, too. Another good thing TV-wise, lots of choices on what to watch. The bathroom: Super clean and very well laid out. The shower was set up so that the showerhead was on one end and the control to turn the water on was on the other. Imagine being able to get the water at the desired temperature without being doused in freezing/scalding water. They provide shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner via pump bottles in the shower and everything was high quality and smelled great. Another thing about the layout that worked well was having a towel on a shelf in the shower area so that it could be accessed without getting out. The towels were nicely absorbent and there were plenty of them -- another "yay" in my book. The Courtyard by Marriott Springwoods Village appears to be pretty new so that could explain, in part, why the property was so attractive, but I don't think it does completely. My impression of the staff was that they really seemed to enjoy working there and understood what the hospitality industry is all about. My apologies for not taking pics. Bad me, but my niece took this one in the lobby bathroom. It made me smile.
