It was a NO for me

Seldom have I ever left a hotel after paying and I've stayed in some questionable hotels, but I actually had to leave this one. I couldn't stay. The first room had mold all over the comforter and smelled horribly. The 2nd room had shoe prints on the sheets, was covered in dust, plugs hanging from the wall, and smelled like weed. I gave 2 rooms a chance and went back to cancel. Just go ahead and skip this place.

Nice motel in Port Lavaca

My favorite place to stay in Port Lavaca. Its a simple business without a lot of amenities, but it costs less per night and they have rooms for pets and smokers if desired.

Breakfast is included in the nightly rate, however the milk was spoiled, which is why I left a 1 star rating for staff and service. The housekeeping was really friendly and helpful, though after cleaning the room there was a smell of wet mop that lingered for hours. The motel is overall well lit and clean, though not particularly nice (holes in the blackout material of the curtains, burnt out light bulb in room, peeling paint on the doors).

Crappiest coastal stay so far

Rooms are nothing like advertised. Towels sheets and showers were dirty. Electrical sockets hanging out of the wall and takes a whole century for the water to turn hot in the shower and sink. The complimentary breakfast is and insult no compliment basically its a selection of cheap junk food. This hotel was the worst part of my family trip and the next time i visit Port Lavaca i most definitely will not stay at the chaparral!

Good for the price

The room was clean and they were very accommodating. The only problem was the smell of the room but it wasn’t anything that Fabreeze couldn’t fix. Their continental breakfast wasn’t good. The coffee machine was out of order and the juices were out as well. The little restaurant next door had great food and coffee so that problem was solved quickly.

Had to clean off multiple counters as they had multiple liquids on them or a lot of dust. Top comforter had a good amount of stains on them and the bathroom didn’t have a lot to ventilation. Comp breakfast was decent even though cereal was stale
