As annoying as it was to hear every word they would holler, it was also entertaining. The room, itself, was clean and beds were comfortable. Loved sitting out on the balcony in the rocking chairs and enjoying the great view of the bay(it was much quieter out there too). If we ever decide to come back to Rockport, we will probably stay here again and just hope that our neighbors in the next room know hotel etiquette.

This is a nice hotel where my family and I was able to get some relaxation after traveling…read more We called and reserved double queen beds for one night . When we arrived check-in went smoothly. Hotel staff was nice and informative. This hotel is not far from Rockport Beach Park and the historic Fulton Mansion. The hotel offers a free hot daily breakfast and rooms with free Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool and a fitness center. Laundry facilities too. Our room was equipped with a microwave and mini-refrigerator, coffee maker and cable TV. The breakfast was good with choices of omelets, oatmeal, sausage and potatoes along with bagels, waffles, three different cereals and lots of different fruits. We enjoyed our stay in this nice clean hotel, and the location is great.

When I checked in Friday night, Jason in reception was very nice and accommodating. I explained to…read morehim about my service dogs for my several disabilities and he acknowledged that. The room has been great and we loved it. I have the dogs in a stroller and attached to leashes so I can use the stroller for balance and support as well as access to the dogs for help. Saturday morning, around 7:15, the reception lady (which I found out the next day was the manager, Ginger) won't let me enter the breakfast area. She want me to leave the dogs outside in the hallway next to the bathroom. Which is making me have anxiety to be away from them. She told me to take turns with my husband to have the dogs there while we get food then go back to hallway to eat. I'm trying not to have an anxiety attack in being separated from my dogs in public. I was already in pain and was relying on the stroller to help with my balance. I wasn't going to take the dogs out of the stroller. I explained to her the dogs were trained and what they help me with in my disabilities and that I would not take them out of the stroller, which had service dogs signs all over it. In the food area, I had to keep leaning on my 9 year old son for balance because I was having trouble walking. But at one point, my body couldn't take it. I was in a lot of pain and it led to a cycle of pain and anxiety. I ended up with an anxiety attack and got frozen and was in so much pain because the stress caused my body to flare up badly. My husband told me while I was sitting down sobbing in pain, Ginger the manager went to him to apologize for the incident. It would have meant something if she directly came to me to apologize. Which is another incident of me feeling less than and treated less of a human being for being disabled. I should not have been denied access with my service dogs that were contained in a stroller that I also needed for balance.

DO NOT RENT FROM MISS KITTY!!!! after spending 4 nights…read moreover Fourth of July weekend, I feel like people deserve to know what they're walking into. They have trash cans by the stair case that smells terrible with roaches and flies and we have to pass it every time we go into our room. We booked this condo expecting a relaxing beach vacation. Instead, it felt like every day came with a new surprise--and not the good kind. Let's start with the condition of the unit. The walls were literally falling apart, and the bathroom had water leaking through the shower wall from the unit above us. When we reported it, we were told they couldn't do anything because the unit upstairs wasn't managed by them. While I understand that may be true, it doesn't change the fact that we paid for a room with water leaking into the bathroom. The bathroom light also had a mind of its own. Every time you flipped the switch, it took a couple of minutes to turn on, like it was still asleep and needed its morning coffee before deciding to work. The TV wasn't much better. The remote wouldn't change the channels, so if we wanted to watch something, we had to get up every single time and manually change the channel on the cable box. After putting up with all of these issues, we were finally told we could move to another unit--but only on the last night of our 4-night stay. Even then, the replacement unit wasn't ready until around 5:00 p.m., so we spent most of the day waiting. Then we had to pack up every single one of our belongings and move everything ourselves... just to sleep there for one night before checking out the next morning. To make things even worse, the replacement unit didn't even have the pull-out couch that our original unit had. It was just a regular couch, even though we booked a unit that was supposed to accommodate six people. We also spent most of our vacation using only one bathroom, despite paying for a two-bathroom unit. After all of that, no refund, no partial refund, no discount, and no real compensation was offered. Rooms: 1/5 | Service: 1/5

The Reel 'em Inn has that rare combination of feeling approachable and relaxed while still being…read moreincredibly thoughtful and beautifully designed. It feels more like staying at a boutique luxury hotel than a typical coastal rental. Every detail has clearly been considered. The design is fresh, clean, and perfectly captures that elevated coastal vibe without trying too hard. The outdoor kitchen was such a great touch and made hanging out outside feel effortless. The robes were amazing (always a detail I appreciate), and having an espresso machine in the room made mornings feel extra special. It's comfortable, stylish, and just feels easy in the best way. If you want a place that gives you a true vacation feel while still being warm and unpretentious, this is it. We'll absolutely be back.

We stayed 6 days in early April which I suspect is still the off season. Had I seen some of the reviews I might not have, but I'm not sorry at all. It was very quiet and safe. Only a few of the other rooms were occupied by folks staying long term. We saw none of the horrors others have mentioned in these reviews. The room was clean and in good repair. There is a small oven/stove, but no cooking supplies or utensils. The fridge is a small apartment style unit - bigger than the average hotel mini-fridge and more than adequate for our needs. They don't have regular room service or a manned office but I called mid-stay and they were there with a fresh towels and an additional blanket (blankets are thin so if you are accompanied by an ice queen, like I was, you might ask for another when you check in). The location is great with a nearby marina, souvenir shops, and a few great restaurants within an couple of blocks. I requested a late checkout which was graciously granted. Not a Hilton resort, but not priced like one either. Overall a great value. I'll stay here on my next visit and would recommend the place to anyone.

We had a bed with thin worn blanket, tv, mini fridge, microwave I wouldn't use, and a coffee pot. Floors dirty, grout has ground in dirt, tiny tube of bath wash, lotion, and small bar of soap. Prob clean but stained towels and sheets. Light switches broken, hole in ceiling, rusted old worn metal night stands and a small rusted table. Dark, bent/broken blinds, view of the parking lot if you can see out of it. The ac was freezing cold which was good, but loud as a semi. Absolutely unassuming place w only 16 units in a small U-shape, surrounded by partial fence with overgrown weeds. If all you need is a bed & shower, it's your spot, and you don't care much about either, it's adequate. Wouldn't bring kids or family. It's worth about $40-50/night and don't have any expectations. It is close to marina & bait shops if you just need a home base with AC while fishing all day.

Jordan at the front desk was super nice and helpful, the bed was comfortable, the rate per night of $170.00 was okay, the ground were clean, the pool looked clean, BUT... the rooms all have a blue tint that was so obnoxious and really messed with my eyes. It was truly awful! Even when the sun went down, it was still bothersome. The photos I took with my phone have absolutely no filter on them. It was Smurf blue!!! I wanted to ask for another room until I realized ALL windows had the same tint. I looked around the room after exposure to the blue and it made everything look pink. Way weird! I know it wasn't just us because we spoke with a lady in the elevator who made the same comments. I would never stay there again strictly for the blue and how it affected my eyes. I don't know who decided on that, but it was a terrible idea. We did not check out the inhouse bar since we brought drinks with us. We also did not have the breakfast. I am not a fan of hotel breakfast since it rarely lives up to expectations.
