Good Bang 4 The Buck
Hotel is currently on the market so operating with minimal amenities. Pool & miniature golf were not accessible and a part of the structure is out of service from a previous fire. The room was spacious and clean and the staff went out of their way to address my needs. Location is primo for visitors to Moody Gardens or the Water Park.

Travelers beware!
To turn on the bathroom light, you have to turn on the master light by the door. Beds (2Q) seem comfy. Beach theme. Seems expensive for what we got. Can’t see out our window. Lots of lumpy bumpy cement sidewalks & ramps to get to elevator to get to our room in back building otherwise would have to take stairs. Small breakfast from what we were told. Not many choices for those with dietary restrictions. Outlets were hit & miss on which would charge our phones & would KEEP charging them. tile missing in bathroom. Shower needs new water temp decal. To get to the pool you have to walk through the golf course b/c of construction. And unfortunately there’s water everywhere on the course. Not close to anything as far as other restaurants go - have to take an Uber or drive a ways.

It was okay. If the property were renovated, it would be great because of the location. We spent most of our time at Moody Gardens and other places. We would just come to the hotel and relax and sleep. Would probably stay somewhere else in the future unless they update the property.

Overall I was very happy with the room, pet friendly, very quiet rooms, kids liked the putt putt but it did need a lot of work to be considered nice but kids do not care and loved it. We had a lot of issues with key cards that I have never had ever in the hundreds of hotel stays I have a year. The area around is quite too and off the beaten path for this time of year. Waterpark are closed but was not our purpose of the stay. Overall I would stay again, just need to fix the key card issues.

Hotel was old but clean. Room was very spacious, but furnishings were dated. However, bed and pillows were very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. We stayed one night before a cruise, and left our car there. Would definitely stay here again.

We appreciated the cleanliness and when we had a problem with the TV, they immediately sent somebody over to help us. It's an older motel, it looks like a renovation is going on, which you could use it, otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

The front desk staff was pleasant. This property is just very old and needs complete renovation. The outside and the inside. I had to throughly clean our room upon arrival because everything just looked so filthy. We were only staying one night (thank God) so we made it work.. but it was not enjoyable. This is a great location to Moody Gardens (which is where we went) and the waterpark. If this place gets new carpet, furniture, and fresh paint it would do wonders! We only paid $102 for the night (day before Labor day weekend) so, you get what you pay for I guess.

The room smelled misty/moldy. Far from the main build, have to go out side to get I to building. The dining room was small and crowded, very dirty, unorganized, very terrible food at breakfast, coffee tasted bad too, my family had to leave the room once we got there so we did not get anything to eat. I don’t recommend this place, very far from everything.
