A little hidden gem on the island. The hotel is close to Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Water Park. The rooms were very large over in the “tower” section. Our room had 2 queen beds and a sitting area with a small table and chairs. The furniture was a little dated but still ok to use. We loved the 520 sq. ft.which made the room very spacious for my family of 3. The window was in need of cleaning, but the ac was cold, the shower was low flow, but the water was hot. Also loved the way the restrooms had been remodeled. Mia at the front desk and the cleaning staff were very kind and helpful and even let us choose the room facing the softball fields. The other view was of some large water tanks which were not too pleasant to look at, however we spent most of our time on the beach anyway. My son and husband loved the coffee in the room, and also the microwave for popcorn and warming up leftovers. Also the fridge was really cold and had to be lowered. We will definitely be back as the rates are very affordable and the area was so quiet and safe. Also loved the parking under the building and the elevator and I so appreciated the no smoking policy. I’ve noticed some hotels on the seawall blvd that are so smelly of cigarettes and smoking. It was such a relief to not see this here. The hallways reminded me of Moody Gardens. Thank you Inn at the Waterpark for a wonderful stay! We will be back.😊

I stayed in a room with 2 queen size beds, overall the room was clean. The downside was that our room key did not work properly, we could hear our loud neighbors and the small refrigerator did not cool at all. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

It did have an elevator, because my mom is on a scooter. But it was the fact that the elevator was out side of the main building where the little breakfast was. So we had to go down from the building go out across the middle way and then go to breakfast. I guess my mom was a little bit upset by that. The staff was friendly. The Inn At The Waterpark was a good getaway.

Not What I Expected

The rooms are very dated and had a bad musty odor. Lots of old, cracked caulking in bathroom. A/C unit noisy so much I had to turn it off, which in-turn made the room too warm. Not stocked; had to go hunt down some TP. Certainly not a very good value for $189 a night. It was very convenient to the water park though; right across the street.

While the breakfast was minimal due to renovations I still give it 5 stars. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean, and it was also quiet.

Got to property early due to red eye flight to Houston. Sat in lobby for hours waiting supervisor to come on 11am. Desk clerk ignored us for over hour with sign on desk "restroom be back 5 mins." Room was ready around 10am but $50 early check-in charge and paid almost $200 for on night prior to cruise.

Arrived for check in at scheduled time after reserving and pre-paying for a King room. Was told that room was not ready and would be a minimum of another hour before we could check in. Since we couldn't wait due to a scheduled event we opted for a queen room they had available. Was told it was the same cost so no refund or anything offered even though online the price for a queen room is less than a king. When we got to the room it only had a shower, no tub as the room we reserved was supposed to have, and the door to the hotel room was very difficult to shut and lock all the way. Room was decently clean but we won't be returning due to the overall experience with service.
