The perks: Great location across from the water, still need to take your vehicle to get to beach area. We grilled outside (bought a grill). Small, but ok pool for family fun. Spacious efficiency type unit. The downside: Nothing fancy or modern about it; the tiled floor felt dirty to step on barefooted; Bathroom needed a better coverup on the window that faced the backside; dead cockroach or waterbugs in bathroom area; everything was old, old, old, rusty regular sized fridge all spotted on the outside, broken sink parts, though it was functional, felt greasy in the kitchen area; can't remember if any pots/pans, so best to take your own in case those are supplied but probably on the peeled side with no teflon left on them. It's almost like what was there was gotten from a dump or salvage yard. We could have used an ample supply of household cleaning products, dishwashing soap, mop, broom, wipes or cleaning rags, so prepare yourselves with these if you stay here. Paid close to $200 p/night.

Price inexpensive. You get what you pay for. Most of lights on pier were burned out for fishing. When I complained. Was told they are renovating and haven't gotten that far. Must be hard to change a light bulb. Big bulbs maybe but light on the pier area was a normal bulb. Internet access is a joke; slow and dropped a lot. Had to find Internet access at a Starbucks for my daughter to turn in online school work!

Nice older motel, nothing fancy,our room was clean and on upper level with view overlooking the bay. Staff was very helpful. Pool is small and unheated, take your own chairs, looks out over the bay. On occasion you will see dolphins swimming by the motels fishing docks. Close to the Rockport beach, restaurants and shopping of all kinds. Will stay here again. Nice for families.

Discovered my on-line reservation never made it through the internet when I tried to check-in. Some kind of computer glitch between Travelocity, Experian and the motel. The management was very helpful and found another motel near by that was willing to give me a room at the same reservation price! I really appreciated their assistance and friendliness and I'm sure you would too.

Room Tip: This is an older wood frame motel that looks like it's been around for quite a few years.

Stayed here for 2 nights in late summer 2014, last minute reservation and the only availability I could find. Room was spacious (an efficiency), clean except for the door of the fridge - was covered in grease from the stove directly in front of it. Disappointing to say the least. Couldn't connect to the wireless; went to the office and they said they were having trouble too. Never was able to connect. TV remote stopped working so I took that to the office. They told me how to re-program it but never got that to work again either. Nice location with pool, fishing pier and small fenced area. I've stayed in nicer places for less $$.

We booked a room here for our second and final night after the bad experience at the Bayfront Cottages and the folks that own and operate this property were very nice and found us a room. The room was pretty tired and needed some serious updating and maintenance but was generally clean and had a great A/C and strong water pressure. They were also priced better and were in a good location with a pool and a fishing pier. They offered free coffee and donuts in the morning and I will say once again, that the folks there were some of the nicest that we have met.

Best affordable place on the bay. Recently booked 8 rooms for my wedding, and everyone had amazing stay with discounted rate. The rooms and bathroom were clean and spacious than I thought, though the property is old. The staff is very friendly and location is nice. Truly enjoyed the view of the bay. Despite being pet friendly you could smell the cleanliness through out the motel. We all enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely stay here again in the future.

Worst place to even consider You are better off staying in your car!! Walked in there was roaches and silverfish Furniture and appliances looked from the 1970's My stay lasted 5 min and was horrified. Demanded a refund with no problem Attendant seemed clueless as to why I wanted a refund but gave no trouble providing one this place should be condemned

This was our first time staying at Magic Sun Tan Motel. The staff was very friendly and were willing to assist anytime. The water front view from our view was awesome. The view of bay is awesome along with plenty of space for my kids to spread out in the room. The management and employees were so nice, and treated us like their family. The hotel room are older, but they are clean.

First of all this is not current there is no bbq pits,no wifi and no clean rooms. all they did was make the bed with the same old sheets. During my stay there was so many problems and issues where to start is hard. But the rooms are nasty not clean the restroom was unsanitary. The bed sheets and blankets where used not washed or changed with clean ones they had pubic hair all over them. The office people or owners are rude would not give me any new ones or even toilet paper. I had to go buy sheets and blankets cleaner and disinfectant spray. My kids got sick and this ruined my vacation. I WILL STRONGLY ADVISE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STAY HERE TO THINK TWICE BUT IF YOU DO TAKE A BUNCH OF CLEANER ROACH KILLER AND BED SHEETS BLANKETS MOP AND BUCKET DON'T FORGET AIR FRESHENER . YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT
