Best Western Port Aransas

8/10 Good

"The staff was amazing, very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, beds were comfortable and it was quiet at night. The overall property could use a refresh. The smoke detector was missing and somehow I didn't notice until the last night. Overall, I would stay here again. Also, there are no elevators on this property, which is not noted anywhere on the property description. So if you are not able to climb the stairs, with your belongings, be sure to request a ground floor room. The location is great for direct access to the beach. No traffic to fight...just turn right out of the hotel and 3 blocks later you're on the beach."

Ocean's Edge Hotel, Port Aransas,TX

8/10 Good

"the staff was very nice very accommodating. very friendly. the first room was just cleaned and smelled of clearing products which was only but we laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling it was covered in mold . we asked tor another room. and the staff was apologetic and h go it us s new room . this room smelled better and was clean. the only problem when you opened the fridge it. smelled like skunk. it need y have baking soda put into it to draw it out . we left because we didn’t use it much. and when it was closed you couldn’t smell it .the breakfast wax ok. it’s what i would expect for a budget price hotel. again no problem with the staff ."

Captain's Quarters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had stayed here once before on a work trip for my husband. So we made sure to come back. I really like the location. Best of all, and the staff was wonderful. The room was clean. The fridge was a snack fridge which made us a little bit sad. We had brought items to put in the freezer and fridge. And they even have the space to upgrade it so I hope they will upgrade to a mini fridge. We love the pool. Even if it was small. It was very well maintained and had just the right amount of chlorine to where it was clean but not harmful to our skin or scalps. The kids loved it. The highlight of this hotel is the full hot breakfast. Yeah, absolutely loved having our super tasty waffles, bagels, cinnamon, raisin toast, and drink options. My kids are very happy and satisfied."
