The property was clean. The rooms were nice. We could walk to Rockport beach. Lots of dining options and about a mile some local shops for souvenirs. Owner was pleasant and we got clean towels daily. Overall experience at the hotel, great. We will be coming back for sure.

The room was clean, AC wasn’t cold, the bed wasn’t comfortable. The ice machine wasn’t working. The pool didn’t seem to be open it was dirty. Overall for what we paid it was ok. For a one night stay is fine. Location was good.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
After reading the good reviews, I was sorely disappointed to find this place was pretty bad. It was clean, I’ll give them that but very run down. In the 33 years of staying in hotels, this hotel wins the award for the hardest bed I have ever seen. The pillows were not much better. The bed felt like a piece of concrete with a sheet on it. I was actually the only person staying there, which should have told me something. The room was pitch black, which I didn’t like. Around 11:30, after tossing and turning and my back actually cramping up, I got up and got dressed and left. There were shady trucks in the parking lot with their hoods open. I went down the street to the Holiday Inn Express. I DO NOT recommend this hotel at all. You can bet that I will never stay there again. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else.

The only issue we had was the bbq pits and tables they have outside were right in front of our room and people were out there partying. It was a little loud with laughter and music. They stayed out there till around 10:30. And no we didn’t complain to staff seeing it wasn’t their fault that some people are a bit inconsiderate of others. Just whoever stays there think of others who may be staying there as well.

Super clean, super nice, super cold AC, parking no problem. This place reminded me of an old school motel.. The room was up-to-date And very pleasant. Can’t beat the location. It’s across the street from the beach. Very clean outside also. This is a place you could stay without a headache. Just check in go do your thing and have fun and know that when you come back there won’t be a roach waiting for you.

Pretty Good, But . . .

We were delighted at check-in to be offered an upgrade to a handicap room for a small additional price, so we would have a 1st floor room because we are elderly. The room looked clean and smelled good. However, there was no cold water in the bathroom sink. (In Texas, in the summer, there usually isn't any real cold water, but at least its not hot.) And, there was not a box of facial tissue in the room anywhere. There was a "kitchenette", but no dishes, pots/pans, etc. (We hadnt planned to cook, so that was ok). There was also no food offered in the morning. Most disturbing was there was only enough hot water for one shower. I was pleased this hotel got rid of the carpet during the renovations! We were also pleased with the lower rates, but we probably will not return, mainly because of not enough hot water for two showers.

I was given a handicap room. Fortunately, I am not handicap. However, bed was too high get on. Plus, the bathroom counter was too high, as well. The only thing good in bathroom was the walk-in shower. I will not recommend this place to any of my family or friends. So, I personally think it is still not equipped for someone that is truly handicapped. No cleaning of the rooms was offered.
