There was absolutely no one on site to even check in. Waited for almost an hour and nothing. Sign said call this number I’m 5 minutes away but when I called, that phone rang just on the other side of the glass so no help there. Had to go get a different hotel. Total pain.

I booked the hotel and get there and they had a note on the door. We are around the corner. Please call this number. I called the number and they never answered. I was stranded at night outside a locked hotel. This place needs to be condemned!

The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and it was quiet. I unfortunately had a delay in my travels and arrived very late and had to wake the owners up to check in. They were very kind even though I disrupted their sleep and got me checked in quickly.

i liked the low cost and no cheap amenities. I knew what I was getting and the price was good only 1 light worked in the bathroom, no USB ports for electronics, shower head was not very good. It was just little things but the value was good for the price

I don’t recommend this place at all!! It is very filthy it smells like cigarettes dirty blankets and maybe some kind of other nasty smells.The owner will tell you whatever you want to hear to want to stay.The ac didn’t work in room barely throwing any air.Went and told manager and her solution to the problem is we all sleep by vents of ac.We went to buy a fan hoping it would help be a little cooler but it wasn’t.When we opened the door to room the smell of the room just got worse.

The manager approved our refund in person Sept 12th same day we checked in we checked out about an hour into being there. We also spent $80 in gas to enjoy our weekend and of course we didn’t. Worst experience ever and still haven’t received my refund when manager approved it already Sept 24th and no refund!!! I have messages proving of her stating she would refund me and instead she has blocked my number!! Worst experience customer service and place to stay!!

Deborah was amazing with us. Initially booked a room with kitchen and we didn't have that on arrival but she went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Will most definitely be going back.

Check-in was easy, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the room was clean and smelled nice. The bed was firm but comfortable and clean. The shower water was hot, the ac was cold, the fridge worked, and the room was easy to access from either staircase. Excellent experience. It was right at the beautiful shoreline. I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a great place to stay on the beach, close to everything.

The manager working at desk was very kind, very helpful. Location was perfect, close to ocean, other restaurants and the close to the airport. Don't expect a nice lobby or complementary coffee or a Keurig for coffee in your room. AC filters, very dirty. Did clean them and implied if we thought the room we had was bad, we should see the one next door. I understand they are in process of getting rooms renovated, I would suggest seeing a room first. I thought the price was pretty high for what the room was worth.

The stay was ok if you just want to sleep.my family drove all night and there was no hot water and after driving all night and fishing, I really wanted to take a hot shower and relax. The hot water was working in the sink, so we used the ice bucket to fill it with water from the sink to bathe. We didn't eat or see anything in the office when we checked out and I didn't get any kind of compensation for no hot water. The lady in the office just said thank you for letting us know. I probably won't be staying here again.

Debra (the manager/housekeeping) was awesome to work with. This is old outdated property that was acquired by Oyo and they have started renovating the property. There isn’t a bath tub stop. The shower had good pressure and a good temperature. The bed was comfortable and takes up most of the room. The facility is located close to the beach and was in walking distance to the Texas State Aquarium and USS Lexington Museum. The Blackbeard Restaurant was good and we enjoyed it. Parking is going to be pretty tight if full. This worked ok for us and we would stay there again in in the area. It’s a basic room and works if that is what you are looking for. No pool and no breakfast. The heat and air conditioner both worked well. It is in a quiet area.

Ugly smell to the rooms after the room finally got cold when we got back. The toilet was still running water so they moved us to another room very hot, same smell everything. The showers do not have cold water

My little family and I had a wonderful stay!! DO NOT LET THE BAD REVIEWS FOOL YOU. My family and I were looking for a nice comfortable affordable place to stay by the beach and we got just that. It is an older place that is VERY well taken care of. The receptionist did mention that there is a $20 cash deposit at check in but it’s not listed on the site. Wonderful lady by the way she was so polite and made me feel like family! The price is perfect for the stay it’s a cozy room that’s very clean and the ac will freeze you out of your bed to turn it down! There is a new park that was built literally a couple hundred feet away that has bbq pits and outdoor showers for after the beach! So convenient! Like I said it’s not a brand new hotel like Marriott or Hilton but it was very clean and cozy and affordable! Will most definitely be returning in the future!

This is probably the only OYO hotel I’d recommend staying at. The lady running it is amazing, the company really isn’t. She is always available if you need something and is extremely helpful. She gets to know frequent visitors and takes effort to take care of them.

The proprietor of the property was absolutely wonderful! We spoke everyday of my 4 night stay. She even loaned me an umbrella because of all the rain during my stay and I had a day without a rental car. The property IS an older property…and the area is a little lackluster…but the room was very clean, the bedding smelled like it had just been laundered that morning, the bed was comfortable. Downsides…the beach was a little dirty, a lot of trash but there were storms every single day I was there which could account for this…and there did seem to be quite a number of homeless people in the area. Pros, the aquarium, whataburger, the battleship, and a few souvenir shops were well within walking distance if needed. overall good experience for a budget friendly experience

For the price, it was a good stay. Ms Debra, who attended the place, was very kind and bent over backwards to help in any manner she could. Again, it's not the Omni nor the Marriott, but for the price and spur of the moment trip, it was okay.

The owner was amazing and friendly. The hotel itself is older, but the rooms were clean and the ac was cold! Will definitely come back when we take the kids to their next beach trip.

Property is transitioning to new ownership. OYO has done a very poor job w/this property. Outdated plumbing, electrical, room amenities -- back to 1950s. Big PLUS is location close to water & boardwalk. Prop seems to have "good bones." Easy fix w/ enough capital.

This place is a diamond in the rough! Brand new owners that have really turned the place around to make it a memorable experience. The husband and wife that on the place were so accommodating! We loved our stay and loved our room. It had everything you would expect and after having a bad experience the previous night at another location this was a blessing. Can't wait to come back and make more memories. If you're looking for a great budget-friendly hotel this is it!
