6.0 Okay
Pros:The room and whole place smelled great and was clean
Cons:We went to relax and have a good time and rest/sleep in but we had the cleaning crew knocking at our door at 7:30am, cleaning with the vacuum really loud
F
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:We liked the "stay more save more" program. The rooms are very clean, the customer service is top notch and if you happen to encounter an issue, they deal with it fast and efficiently. The location is within close proximity to shopping, restaurants, rides, music and more. The bands in the courtyard were great and the winery, just a few short walk, is one of the classiest I have ever been to. The games and rides, which are just a few feet from the hotel, are fun for kids and adults alike. The dinner cruise ship and the wild "Beast" boat ride are also well worth the money. We have stayed in over 20+ hotels in the Kemah area.......do yourself a favor and don't stay anywhere else. NOTE: We already have our next stay reserved!!
Cons:What we didn't like........only that we had to leave and return to real life!

10.0 Wonderful

V
9.7 Wonderful
Pros:My girlfriend and I decided last minute to make a trip to the Kemah Boardwalk while I was visiting her. We arrived the Monday after Spring Break and essentially had the whole area to ourselves. It was perfect timing for a little getaway. The hotel was great, very sweet and friendly staff. The room overlooked the water with a cute little balcony. It had a decent sized tub and shower. The decor was nautical yellows and blues. Very quaint but not cheesy. Just very nicely done. I would absolutely stay there again. 8/10
Cons:No fridge in the room. We stayed on a week night so everything closed around 9, but we didn't have to fight any crowds. It is noisy because of the attractions but not terrible.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Location, pool, spacious room.
Cons:We wish Kemah Boardwalk had more things open until 9 pm on Thursday in early November. This was not something the hotel can change, just an observation.
