The room was a little dank smelling and the windows don’t open. But to be expected on the coast. All in all it was last minute and it worked for us. Hot tub and pool was nice. Good location but no views or anything. Bed was surprisingly comfy, nice pillows!
- 5/5
Very good
- 3.5/5
Staff was okay, they were always hiding behind monitor didn't know they were there and on phone. Checkout time the guy just asked for room number and that was all, didn't even ask for keys to room . Bathroom tub had alot of rust stains that looked unpleasant to look at and tub was sunken in easy for kids to slip and fall
- 3/5
The restroom could benefit from renovation, as there were multiple areas with mold on the bathtub and visible cracks. The lighting was somewhat dim, and the toilet was not flushing properly, which we had to address ourselves. Additionally, the breakfast options could be improved. On a positive note, the staff were courteous and friendly.

My husband and I love the big breakfast selection. Not having to worry about breakfast we can already get started with our day.we also love that there is a very large swimming pool area with a jacuzzi if we want to relax at night.
- 5/5
The breakfast was delicious. I’ve had free breakfast at many hotels and they are usually just ok. This one was shockingly great! Room was comfortable and appreciated the microwave and fridge. Overall loved the stay Nothing. It’s more expensive than a bunch of other options in the area but most are motels and the holiday inn is much much nicer. Wish the price was a little lower but honestly it was way better stay than I expected
- 4/5
Hotel and area was very busy due to Texas Sand Festival. So pricing was a little more than expected. Due to soo many people in the area. The Pool bathroom was a little unkept and could have used a bit more of extra attention. Room was clean but had that mildewy smell about it. Kept it pretty freezing so the smell wouldn't over take. Carpets in the room could use a little steam cleaning. Breakfast has been great, but then we went like right at 6 a.m., So everything was fresh and hot. Hot tub was nice could have done without the kids in it, but it wasn't like super negative. Pool was nice and you can get a few laps in.

Check in staff were not very friendly and didn’t explain anything about the hotel like others felt like I was bothering them for checking in. They don't clean your room daily, we had to throw away the trash in a bigger trash outside the room. Pool was supper cold and hot tub was supper warm. Breakfast was okay. Checking out staff was nicer. Rooms furniture had like water damage.

A/C worked terribly. When we checked in, the front desk clerk looked as if she didn’t want to be there. There’s is NO smart TV’s in the rooms, so forget about streaming. The TV’s were smaller than other hotels.

I am having billing problems too, another charge for $560 pending and a $650 fee. I had two rooms and was not aware of pet charges were going to be charged. It would have been courtesy to at least inform me of these charges and purpose. Two rooms $170 one night turned into a nightmare.

There were roaches in our room which was the most terrible thing we encountered. We refused to change room and was offered a discount but the folio receipt showed full charge and we were ready to get the hell out. After the infestation incident, we didn't eat the breakfast the next day for fear that maybe the kitchen had pests as well. Nice staff but maybe oblivious to knowing there are roaches.

We had a double queen bed on the 1st floor with a view of the pool. Room#102 was close to the side door and parking. The room was clean modern everything worked fine fridge, air conditioner, tv etc. Easy check in and out. Breakfast was good, except the link sausage a lityle over cooked. The staff was very polite and helpful. Will stay here again. I always stay at Best Western on the same street. But it is getting very run down. I think they have new owners and dont look like they are doing any repairs or up dates.

Room 119 was horrible location right across from the laundry room, the room had a bad odor smell like a combination of vomit and sewer smell. I went to make adjustments to the A/C and the vents had an orange substance that seamed to look like vomit. The smell was horrible, the furniture needs to be replaced, coffee table is badly water damaged along with the entertainment cabinet where the refrigerator sits, and the shelf/ cabinets below the television. The house keeping crew was very nice in providing towels and necessities. One of my daughters works as a housekeeper for a hotel organization so I know a lot of the staff is always very friendly and helpful. For the price I paid for the three nights at this hotel is not acceptable in my past experience with the same line of hotels.

When me and my little family of 3 got out the shower there was alot of water leaking coming from the closet that was near the bathroom. I called and reported it to front desk and the lady that was working said she couldnt help me at all and even after i told her i have a crawling baby she still didnt help me at all and said she had to hang up because she had people up front.The people next room said they had the same issue.

Booked this particular hotel because we have a two month old daughter and it stated it had a crib available in room. I arrived and after not finding a crib I called the front desk and inquired about getting one. They said they only had one in property and it was I use. Also the two queen sized beds in the "suite" I booked were more like full sized and very uncomfortable. Would not recommend

I stayed there may 3rd the electricity was out for hours, the room got so hot we couldn't sleep, fire alarms kept going off, when the electricity did come back on it took until about 4am for the room to be cool enough to sleep again. It was not the best experience for the price I paid.

They allowed people to party and play in the pool all night with music leaving the rooms over the pool to hear noise all night. The pool was messy with tiles falling apart and the water was a deep blue with very little chlorine. The beds were the hardest things I have ever slept on. We left a night early because it was 10 pm and people and kids were still making noise and partying the pool and I could take another night of the hard beds.
