Wasted money

It was Ok, but Kemah boardwalk closes all shops so there really is nothing to do unless you drive. I won’t stay there again. That’s a lot of money on a hotel that offers nothing for its customers.

The location was perfect for what I needed (booking a sailboat sunset cruise out of Kemah) but the facilities fell well below what I would expect from a property owned by Mr. Tilman Fertitta. I don't think it's been updated in over 25 years. They are currently adding on another "experience / amenity" to the board walk, but my recommendation would be to first invest in updated the current facilities. It needs new carpet, a fresh coat of paint etc.... just overall TLC. It felt like things were operating within a very tight budget with minimal staff. I never saw a cleaning cart, no bell hops, no parking attendants or door men, just a single person at the front desk
