Conquering IAH: Your Guide to Reaching the Marriott Houston Airport (Without Getting Lost)
So, you've booked a trip to Houston, the city that's bigger than Texas itself (well, almost). But wait, where are you staying? The Marriott Houston Airport, that glorious beacon of convenience! But how do you get there from the labyrinthine Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)? Fear not, weary traveler, for this guide will be your compass... or maybe your GPS, because who uses compasses anymore?
Landing at IAH: A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
A) You ballin': Hail a taxi and be whisked away in air-conditioned comfort. Just be prepared to potentially spend more than a round-trip ticket to Margaritaville (but hey, at least you'll get there faster... maybe).
B) You a budget warrior: The METRORail whisks you downtown for a song and a prayer (okay, maybe just a few dollars). This might be your best bet if you're feeling adventurous and have some extra time. Just be sure to factor in travel time to your Marriott staycation plans.
C) You a champion walker: Guess what? The Houston Airport Marriott is the only hotel actually on the airport property! That's right, folks, you can ditch the luggage cart and strut your stuff through the terminals Indiana Jones style (minus the snakes... hopefully). There's even a handy-dandy underground walkway, so you won't have to break a sweat (unless you're working on that summer bod, in which case, more power to you).
D) You a fancy flyer: Did you know the Marriott has a secret weapon? A complimentary subway that connects directly to the hotel! Just hop on this little underground train and pretend you're on a secret mission. Bonus points for wearing a trench coat and fedora (not recommended in the Houston heat, but hey, you do you).
Houston, We Have No Problem (Getting to the Marriott)**
No matter your transportation fancy, you'll be at the Marriott Houston Airport in no time, ready to unwind and marvel at the wonder that is Houston. Just remember, this guide is here to help you navigate the arrival process, not booking your flight (although, if you need help convincing your boss a work trip to Houston is necessary, hit me up).
So go forth, conquer IAH, and enjoy your stay at the Marriott! Just try not to get lost in the endless hallways of the airport itself (that's a whole different guide for another day).
