I had a great time at this hotel! It’s perfectly located on the Kemah Boardwalk, so everything was within walking distance. The room had a fantastic view of the water and the concert stage, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a microwave or a continental breakfast offered. Overall, it’s good value for what I paid.
