Sand Rose Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Good for Couple days great beach access"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Houston Bush IAH South

8/10 Good

"Everything was okay. Breakfast was good and the place was quiet. The rooms were well insulated because we never heard our neighbors. There were a few less- than- pleasant aspects. We had the suite but it was dirty on the walls like little kids had been there before us and spilled juice on the walls. There was a large juice stain on the carpeted area. There were pieces of pizza crust and empty water bottles under the sofa bed. Then the window shade didn't work and wouldn't close down. When I told the front desk staff about all of this they asked if I wanted a new room since the maintenance person was out and the cleaning ladies were busy. My husband was able to fix it so we stayed. I cleaned the juice stained walls and the floors and removed the pizza and water bottles because I didn't feel like moving after a long day of travel. My only suggestion is that the cleaning staff do a more thorough check when cleaning. Please turn on all the lights to see the walls and open the sofa bed to check it. This was pretty gross. But beyond that first day, all else was fine!"
