Overall our room was clean and serviceable, even though the building was clearly old and needs updating. However, the bed were rock hard and very uncomfortable. Also, there was not hot water for the shower. We will not return due to these two things. The proximity to the beach was great, especially for the price.

The young man at the desk was rude should not customer facing. He clearly did not like serving the public. We got the room key put out things in the room and set out to eat. Came back to room and noticed it was very cold we also noticed the sink area was dirty. We noticed that the door had a huge gap and did meet the door frame light and wind came straight in. We gathered our things and let the office know even should a picture. He really did not care. We checked out and stayed down the street at the Hilton. I am hoping we can receive a refund. We didn’t use the room and it was not in a condition to have slept in
This is the door closed and looked. Walls dirty room not clean

Outside surface of doors and their locks very scruffy and lock not functioning. Bathroom sink partly blocked. Interior very basic but good air conditioning, comfortable beds, good shower and the room clean. Reception desk a little indifferent. Free coffee and mini muffins at front desk for breakfast. No room safe. Room was quiet.

Zero Stars if I Could Room was filthy torn, dirty sheets and a clogged, overflowing toilet. When we told the front desk, instead of offering a new room, they handed us stained towels like that fixed anything. The staff was dismissive and clearly didn’t care. This place is trash from top to bottom. Avoid at all costs.

Stayed here for a night before going on a cruise during Lone Star bike week. It was loud around the area at first with all the motorcycles riding up and down the road, but after about 11pm it was silent. The staff was friendly and we had a great view of the beach from our room. Murdoch's is within walking distance as well as Pleasure Pier and other places to go eat, and the cruise terminal is about a five minute drive. Will definitely stay here again if we go back to Texas.
