Woodlands sees hotel revenue drop

The Woodlands has 14 hotels, including the two that debuted this year. 

The Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing and the Westin The Woodlands added about 500 hotel rooms just as bookings began to slow.

The Woodlands Township’s hotel occupancy tax revenue fell nearly $600,000—or 13 percent— below what was budgeted for the first half of 2016, reflecting a softening market for hoteliers.

Fred Domenick, general manager for The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, said that his hotel has felt the effects of the oil downturn, as well as an added softening from the two new hotels that joined The Woodlands market in 2016. ​
