First time staying here. It was ok. Not bad for the price. Had a little trouble finding out the tv but the front desk attendant came right over and helped us. Wished there were a ceiling fan in the room and a landline.

Disappointed stay

For the price I thought was going to be better, the location close to the bay 5 points but needs more attention on cleaning the very first day we found a cockroach down on the floor close to bed, they have to change towels every day because they didn't, the white towels was tanned not white and the place has a smell. I do not booking in this place again. This was debut and farewell !!

When I arrived I was given room 9. Upon entering the room I observed three roaches. I went back to the office and reported what happened. I was issued a new room. When entering room 12 the first thing I noticed was a used towel on the bathroom floor. After looking around the room further I noticed bugs about a half inch long. They weren’t roaches but some type of insects. I flushed 4 of those down the commode. I always check rooms for bed bugs. When I pulled the cushions up on the sleeper sofa I noticed rodent droppings, insect carcasses and hair under the cushions. When I pulled the sheets back, the mattress protector was filthy. It was mildewed and had stains and appeared to not have been washed. The window sills have insect carcasses and dirt in them. There was some type of insect droppings on the baseboards. I went back to the office and a different lady was there. I told her the situation and she just said that she could not refund my money. I told her that my grandsons and I could not stay there. She just said, So you are checking out? I gave her the key and searched of a couple of hours trying to find another place to stay. I finally found one. I normally don’t complain about things but mouse droppings and roaches are just too much. I did get refunded for three of the four days we had reserved. We did not stay there any nights but the manager felt the need to keep on nights stay.
This was under the cushions on the sleeper sofa. I did not unfold the sleeper.

This is an older property located in the Rockport Heritage District that is in walking distance to downtown and the fishing piers. The rooms are clean and the area is relatively quiet. The only thing I found that was less than desirable was the area around the trash dumpster which is where our room was located. Food scraps lay around the dumpster which causes a rodent problem. Keep this area cleaner and you have a winner.
