Everything was really nice. However, the beds were so hard it made my back hurt and I spent most of the night tossing and turning. I eventually had to make a pad to sleep on with the extra pillows just to get any rest.

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi
We didn’t like the early check out time when the check in time was so late in the afternoon. The bathroom door was hard to open and close. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Hotel Zaza Houston Museum District
Very friendly and accommodating staff. They let us check in early which we really appreciated. Enjoyed the pool as well. Food and drink prices were high. Great area to be located in, near museums and Rice University. Also appreciated the free shuttle within three-mile radius of hotel.

The kitchen had a refrigerator, oven and microwave. The cleaning staff could not have been any nicer. They fold their towels in happy ways. This place is a must for vacationers.
