La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Galveston North at I-45

The room was clean, and the person on night check-in was really nice and accommodating. When we came back from dinner to a full lot, they let us park in front of our door. I took a star off for what was easily the worst free hotel breakfast I've seen. There were no bagels, just regular bread. The eggs were cold, sausage was okay, yogurt was all flavored and unusable for my wife because of her banana allergy. The waffles were there, but the fruit was sparse and picked over. Coffee ran out, and staff struggled to keep up with the crowd.

The room itself was clean, and the location was decent, with restaurants a short Uber ride away. But there was no shampoo or conditioner, and the gym had neither towels nor water. There wasn't any Wi-Fi either. When I asked for the password, the clerk said they couldn't give it out and that we'd need to sign up as a member and pay. I wouldn't return. If all you need is a clean room and can do without conveniences, it might suit you.

We stayed here the night before our cruise, and the front desk staff were polite and very helpful. The room was clean and spacious, with a king bed and sitting area. Breakfast came free with the room. They also offer long-term parking for $10 a day and a shuttle to the cruise terminal for $10 per person. Good location.

I would've given five stars if the breakfast had been better. A staff member brought out a frozen plastic bag of eggs, heated it in the microwave meant for guests, then shook the wet eggs into the serving bin. I know most hotels don't cook eggs fresh, but they should heat the food in the kitchen and handle it more professionally.
