8/10 Very good

The exterior could use some tidying up. The rooms are clean. Excellent customer service. The air conditioning kept the room cool day & night. We will stay there again.

AC unit in the room is very loud. Small family run hotel which they are doing their best to run.

Well, its about the best place to stay on High Island, and the only food. Except on Mondays.

Close to beach and wildlife refuges

This is really the only hotel/motel option near the wildlife refuges, which is what we were traveling to see. The owners and everyone we dealt with were super polite and friendly. Our room was very clean, the king size bed was comfortable, and the AC worked well. The exterior of the hotel near the office is a little junkie; mainly dusty, old items that could be hauled away, but they don’t interfere with anything. Parking was right outside our door. I was surprised to learn there was a modest breakfast included with our stay. The food was freshly prepared onsite, NOT rehydrated eggs. Upon check-in, we were told the gates around the property were closed at night, which made us feel more secure. I appreciated that the owners were thinking of their guests safety. If you are looking for a luxury resort, this isn’t the place for you. If you want clean accommodations at an affordable price in a convenient location, this is the place.

Small family owned motel. Every time I’m there, it is clean. No smell of pets or smoke. Friendly owners & housekeeping. I feel safe there.

Spotlessly clean, friendly, helpful managers and very close to excellent birding hotspots. The restaurant food was good, Asian/American, but hours were variable. Earlier breakfast service would help birders.

I've visited the High Island Bird Sanctuary every year for the last five years. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Improvements are made every year. It is an ideal location to visit all the local birding scenes.
