Loved hanging out here with my boo for the weekend,actually found a better boo there. Ratchet but quaint, I love this place. Manager Bob India is cool AF. Beach is like 30 seconds away. I come every weekend here to relax. This is a cool chill /hook up spot. And for them lame reviews... This is South Texas there's roaches everywhere. Ain't no damn bedbugs I could see. It's clean. Update...6/7/17... I moved from here and miss this hotel dearly, this is a fun, close knit hotel. This spot will have a place in my heart always

It is an old hotel, but it is across the street from an easy beach with fewer people than the big beaches. The price and friendly staff make it a nice place.

Well, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but, for half the price and plenty of room including a kitchen, we will probably be back!
