We arrived on a Sunday, which was great. On Monday most shops were closed. Was advised there that Mondays and Tuesdays are the slowest days so most shops are closed. Wednesday thru Sunday would be best to travel to that location.

4 O'clock check in....

The hotel was nice, no breakfast option, you have to request room service AND hotels keep raising their check in times, this one was a 4 O'clock check in ! Check out has never changed, still 11AM.... how about a 4 PM checkout . As a family we used to take small get aways every 3rd weekend, stay a day or two in a different city in Texas but between added on state/city taxes, LATER check in times, reduced services.... What's next 10 PM check in 7AM check out ?

Great getaway

My daughter and I had a wonderful girls getaway. So convenient for the Kemah Boardwalk. The carpet by our balcony door was wet from recent rain and when reported we were told that maintenance would come redo door seal. It did not appear to be done during our stay but also didn’t impact our stay.

There was a “rule” that you could not bring any outside food into the hotel!! We were with our young grandchildren. How could we not have snacks for them? They even have a refrigerator in each room. Why if food is not allowed. The hotel doesn’t provide a breakfast, continental or a restaurant. Yes there are restaurants nearby but seriously, it’s hard to pack up little kids and take them out early when a simple kids breakfast in the room would be so much better. Everything else about the hotel seemed fine. It’s a little dated and needs updating in the rooms, but it was comfortable. A little noisy outside our window until late but not terrible.

Great Stay Overall

Location! Location! Location! Right in the middle of it all. Make sure you’re ok with live music and some really great people watching. Our balcony overlooked the stage, shops, and restaurants so it was quite lively each night until 10p on the nose. This wasnt a big deal for me and my son. The staff was friendly and the hotel is bright and beautifully decorated and close to Fantasea boat ride, amusement park, and food. We also did Nasa and that was a short 20 min ride away. The only negative is I would recommend shower shoes. I felt like I was back at camp with rusty drains and tile grout that needed refinishing. I didnt love that but the countertop and sink were perfectly fine. All in all I’d recommend but giving those more discriminating a little heads up to not expect to soak in the bathtub here. Oh and parking was complimentary the two days we were there but bc we didnt have a ticket when we enter the parking garage, upon departure we couldnt get out until we called for help via the ticketing gate at the exit. The hotel should maybe provide some instruction for departing parking garage without a ticket. There was a couple other cars that were obviously confused as well on how to exit
