Super 8 by Wyndham Clear Lake

8/10 Good

"The hallway was not very clean. Room was ok. The outside doors did not lock like they should."

Serene 3-bedroom house with AC in Clear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This house is neat as can be. Absolutely everything you need and very nicely appointed. Well located with easy access to everything. The three bedrooms are sizable. Two bedrooms up stairs with a very small but well equipped bathroom. The stairs are rather steep as they tended to be in houses of that age, but not a problem. The main floor bedroom is very nice as is the main floor bath. The back screened in porch was a blessing for sitting out in the evening and the fenced in backyard was very well maintained and clean - the dogs loved it!The neighbors were friendly too!"

This charming house for six puts you at the heart of the action.

10/10 Excellent

"We had the nicest time visiting our college daughter in the comfort of this beautiful, quaint home. The attention to detail is incredible! We loved all the decor and thoughtful accommodations. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Not to mention it’s close location to downtown Clear Lake and amazing lakeside views!"

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and great amenities!"

Swordfish Suite North Beach - Steps to the SURF BALLROOM

8/10 Good

"We always loved this location- it's close to family and brings us to this spot yearly. Unfortunately, this visit was not the experience we've had in the past. There was quite a bit of construction happening with the new hotel going up which made our stay loud and noisy. We would have really appreciated the communication ahead of time, as we may have chosen a different location. The TVs were not working and there was a strong musty/mold smell in the home too. We truly enjoy this area though when we do visit. A lot of exciting things happening in this location and that wonderful. We are excited to see what another year of changes will bring."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Clear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, new and comfortable property. I would stay there often if in the area."
