Overall we loved our stay at the Lighthouse. We went to Rockport to "veg". We requested and were given a room on the first floor and loved just sitting on the rocking chairs, watching people walk by and listening to the sound of the waves. I agree with other reviewers, however, that the hotel needs a face lift...rooms need redecorating:... More

We stayed at the LH this Memorial Weekend. The hotel is a little on the old side and quite frankly use a bit of an update. We had a small suite, and it was smallish, now a days Hampton Inn or Hyatt Place offer about as much space as the Captain's Suite Poolside. However, the bed was wonderful, we didn't... More

I had made online poolside reservations for my father and mother-in-law as all bay side rooms were booked. This was to be a special treat for my in-laws to stay during the Memorial Day weekend. When they arrived to check in, they discovered that their room was overlooking the parking lot and "garden". In questioning the front desk about the... More

I am very sorry for the confusion with the reservations. There should be no difference in reserving your reservation on line or by talking directly to the hotel. We have two “views or sides” to the hotel. Our best view is the Bay view side. Our other view is the Pool and Garden view side. On the outside of the... More

This is a very nice property with its own private fishing pier Rooms are comfortable and well appointed. Kitchenette will have most things that you will need. The rocking chairs on the balconies is a nice touch.

We stumbled upon this boutique hotel driving up the gulf coast of Texas. We had a waterfront room and took some great pictures of the sunset. We sat out on the pier and spent the afternoon dolphin spotting. Too cool for a couple from the prairies. Almost like a bed and breakfast this hotel was very quaint yet very comfortable.... More

My husband and I had stayed at many different types of hotels and this is by far the best one we have ever been too. The staff is very friendly and checked in on us to make sure everything was good once we arrived. We will definitely be back here next time!!!

This hotel was top notch. From the moment you check in, you feel like a VIP. It felt like an old fashioned Cape Cod cottage feel. The breakfast was great. A little fresh cut fruit and some muffins would have made it perfect! The porch and rockers were awesome to sit on and watch the pelicans and Great BLUE herons... More

The hotel has an old fashioned feel to it and there was a porch with rocking chairs for each room. I looked out onto the garden, but if I had called the hotel directly, could have had an bay view. There's a fishing pier on-site and lovely lawn and gazebo water front. The breakfast was delicious and had a free... More

We went on a special TravelZoo coupon. Very good deal for the buck. We liked the old feel of this hotel, not a typical beach theme, more like a1920s or European feel. We got a suite with complete kitchen-very unusal in a hotel-full size stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator with all utensils-pots & pans etc. Everything was clean and bed good.... More
