What a quaint place, a real treasure right on the water at Aransas Bay. A Cape Cod feeling when you walk in. The Palm bar is wonderful and the bartender Mark does a fabulous job. He is very knowledgeable about mixology. Great experience. I will definitely visit again.

Wonderful views of the Bay sitting on your balcony enjoying the off shore breezes. Walk to many restaurants and attractions. Very friendly staff and beautiful gathering area. You are right on the water and all that goes with it. On site restaurant is excellent.

I stayed here between Christmas and New Years 2023. I was really impressed with the engineering of the building, namely, the heating system in my room was strong and I didn't need to run it for long before the room became warm. Also, the shower had good water pressure with hot water right away. My room was clean and had plenty of towels. Special thanks to Olga who was in charge of the breakfast buffet. It was a solid hot breakfast with eggs, meat and potatoes. A bonus at breakfast was being able to see the sunrise over the bay. I would definitely stay here again.

They are replacing the HVAC system and it sounds like an airplane taking off. They refused to issue refund so I could find other lodging. Every time it turned on it roared. Buyer beware!!! NO SLEEP!!

Beautiful location on the water. Great choice of local restaurants within walking distance. Fantastic breakfast. Hot coffee and tea all day. Our room was large and had an - unexpected - full kitchen. Highly suggest a room overlooking the bay. Enjoyed rocking on our porch during the sunrise. Only a short druve to Port Aransas and Corpus Christi.

I traveled to Rockport with my mom for a short trip to the coast, and we, as always, stayed here. We love this hotel! The staff was terrific and most helpful throughout our stay...and Diane in the bar is terrific! Our only complaint is that the mattresses in our room were well beyond their prime...they were pretty uncomfortable. But, we didn't go for the beds...we went for the bayside rocking chairs, the local food, and the area scenery. We're already planning our next trip down!

This hotel has it all! The Staff is top notch, exceptionally friendly and were a wealth of information regarding restaurants etc. There is a lovely bar and restaurant off of the lobby with great views of the bay. Our breakfast, which is included with you reservation, was delicious and definitely an upgrade from the regular fare served at most hotels. You can enjoy it in the restaurant or bring a plate to your room and eat on the balcony which ours had 2 very comfortable rocking chairs. Beds are comfy, rooms are nicely appointed and well air conditioned. Thank you so much for your relaxing and lovely accommodations as we enjoyed our time in Rockport. WE WILL BE BACK!!❤️

I found this Inn to be very nice and clean and staff is friendly and engaging. We had a king suite on the pool garden side. It was the only room available so we took it. But the bay side affords a great view and nice breeze. I don’t know if it costs more or not but the bay offers fishing off the Inn’s pier and a great (cool) spot to watch the moon rise. I’m sure it’s also a great spot to watch the sunrise too. Just wasn’t up in time. But the breakfast served is quite delicious so don’t miss it. Just your normal fair but fresh and potatoes were crispy! The pool fills up fast with kids and can be loud. Some played their music loud but I didn’t say anything. Some kids were playing ball and my mom was hit with it. They apologized and stopped playing as with a crowded pool, throwing balls and playing loud music may not be the place. But there was no one from the Inn to supervise (no lifeguard.) For a relaxing time around water, we went to the Rockport Beach. Despite the shenanigans at the pool, I will stay here again!

Excellent place to stay when on a fishing trip in south Texas. Room was clean, cold and quiet. An older hotel on the water with plenty of places nearby to get your fill of great food. Breakfast provided each morning with plenty of choices. Hotel staff very helpful and very friendly.
