Terrible Experience – Do Not Recommend
This place was absolutely filthy. The carpets were dirty, the bathrooms were dirty , and the sheets looked like they hadn’t been changed – full of marks and unpleasant smells. I felt uncomfortable the entire stay. Definitely not worth the money. Avoid if you care about cleanliness.

Beds were old and creaky. WiFi wasn’t working. Seemed they were short staffed for their breakfast to keep items stocked. Would be helpful to have more than 1 waffle maker. Staff was friendly. For the cost it worked for a quick weekend getaway

The staff was awesome. This is a low cost ,low frills, lower price hotel smack dab in the cool area of Port Aransas. Adjust expectations accordingly. We had a wonderful stay. Very convenient to the beach and attractions. They do serve bfast with eggs and bacon.... Jimmy Dean sandwichs... And all the normal stuff. The bed was a bit uncomfortable. Had noise thru adjoining room door. All said, we would stay here again.
