I booked a room at The Place hotel which appeared to be undergoing renovation and/or a name change to Hotel Lydia. Aside from the check-in/front desk area being very hard to find (I nearly walked around the entire bldg to find it), with just a small unassuming taped up sign on the door, which I assume was renovation related, everything else was perfect. My 1st floor room on the Hotel Lydia side exceeded my expectations for a beach area hotel in port Aransas. Incredibly clean, free parking, great location, friendly staff, ceiling fan, microwave, mini fridge, Keurig, giant TV. They sell bags of ice which was convenient. I highly recommend.

When we checked in, we had to check in at the hotel next door. That is a bit inconvenient. Then, the room they assigned us STANK horribly! I have no idea what the smell was, but it was awful. The staff did get a different room ready for us within an hour.

A Wonderful Stay – Exceeded Expectations!

From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Check-in was quick and seamless. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a modern yet cozy feel. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, style, and excellent service. No swimming pool and breakfast was more continental.
