Don't Kid Yourself...Not Worth It!
We found a very cheap "discount senior rate" at this hotel when looking for a place near Kemah. The location was close enough, but you really do get what you pay for. First impression: the pool was so small and the hotel seemed old. The lady at the desk was very nice. She assigned us a room and when when we got into the elevator it was very smelly. The second floor ceiling tiles looked terrible and the smell of old musty smoke lingered down the hall and into our room. The room smelled like a smoking room so I called and asked. She said it was not. The room was outdated (except for a flatscreen TV, fridge, and microwave that seemed newer). The countertop was stained, the tile grout was stained, the walls had been painted but they painted right over outlets and towel racks, etc...it just looked kinda gross. We went to the desk and she offered us another room on the first floor. It smelled better but was noisy and had an old box TV in the corner on top of the closet. We passed. She offered another room on the third floor. It smelled much better but was older with the big box TV too, so we just stayed where we were and used a plug-in to hide the smoke odor. I saw another hotel guest in the elevator carrying a bottle of glade spray and I asked her if her room smelled bad too...she said yes. The free breakfast is horrible. The first morning, there were 3 mini crockpots filled with round egg omelet things that were dry and burned. The next day, there was nothing hot except waffles. They had basic stuff like cereal, bagels, toast, and some yogurt. There was no fresh fruit and no juice. The room was really small so what we did take, we took back to the room. I heard barking dogs at least twice, and housekeeping came very early the first day. We had to ask her to come back later. I don't consider myself a "hotel snob" and since there are 5 in our family, I love a good deal. This is NOT it...keep looking.
