Really enjoyed our stay , it was a weekend and the boardwalk was very busy , with music and the crayfish festival was in full swing. This we quite enjoyed and didn’t affect our stay . The parking was good and free !! The room was really nice and plenty of space. The shower was also excellent. Highly recommend.

Located in an amusement park on the boardwalk. Very nice clean area, but as expected was noisy. The Inn itself is very nice with clean spacious rooms. Parking was abundant with outside and in an adjacent parking garage which was complementary if staying in the Inn.

My husband and I went to Kemah for his birthday weekend. Property was beautiful, well kept, and smelt so amzing. We had an issue with our mini fridge and the inn quickly brought us a new unit to finish out our stay. Our only issue was to leave the inn there are only stairs. There aren't any ramps or handicap access. My husband is a combat veteran and at times going up and down stairs are hard and painful for him. So that would be our only complaint. Other than that, we loved our stay.

This was perfect for our visit to Space Center Houston - easy drive from the airport and clean. Worth noting we were here in April after Spring Break and before summer, so it was incredibly quiet … not sure that same review would happen in two months.

All rooms have a view of the water. If you like boardwalk activity, this is the place. It is right downstairs. Parking is comped in the attached garage, which is a definite plus. No bellman but carts are available. Dining choices are abundant and within walking distance.

There is a lot of construction going on at this time so it wasn't pretty. Most of the shops were closed. My favorite restaurant, The Flying Dutchman was permanently closed so that is a big disappointment.
