Great stay...update your bathroom exhaust system

Despite the reviews my daughter read about the loud music from the pavilion and the cleanliness, it was a pleasant stay. The room was comfortable, clean, and nice and cool. It was convenient to park and walk right into the inn. My only concern was that the restrooms didn't have exhaust fans. After a wonderful hot shower, the bathroom got pretty hot. Other than that, great stay!

Always fun!

Always like to stay here when we're in the Kemah area. Nice big rooms, clean, nice pool and hot tub. Quiet even though there's always a lot going on outside on the boardwalk. Covered parking is a bonus!

Overall, a great property! Getting a bit dated I noted the showers had huge cracks in the sides. We rented the largest suite they had and it was very nice. Great view out over the Kemah boardwalk and some water view. Great experience staff was very helpful but forgetful. But our second time to stay in this room and it is lovely.
