I will never stay at this hotel again. Room was decent, good TV, wireless internet, fridge and microwave. However, upon returning back from dinner there was a car full of drunk kids who backed into a truck in parking lot. Driver got out, fell flat back hitting his head, with the girlfriend screaming he crawled back in and sped off. Then looking around there seemed to be a good number of seedy characters around the site. After the manager came out and swore at some other residents and threatened to through them out, he stopped by our room and apologized saying it usually isn't this bad and said he was going to call the police. However, the clear signs around the parking lot stating that they are not responsible for stolen goods or damage and the long security description in the room information sheet about locking doors, locking up valuables, and not displaying any valuables when entering rooms all point to many past issues.

Nice, clean motel. Only problem was that there is a house about a half a block away with very loud dogs. They can see the property and every time someone goes in or out of the motel they bark. Not too good for a good nights sleep, but you always know if someone is outside. Other than this the place was very clean and the staff was exceptionally helpful. Don't stay in the rooms facing Lazy Lane and it will be fine.

Hotel was modest, clean, torn carpet, two used, washed?, kleenexes under the bedspread. BUT the grounds were neat, well groomed, lots of grass and the staff was friendly. Terrible odor outdoors in the morning which dissipated with a moderate breeze. ( What else would one expect near "Oyster Creek" and the chemical plants?) Will stay again as we have two little pets and the loction was ideal for our business trip. The continental breakfast was what La Quinta advertises. Good value for the local competeing prices and locations.

Pleasant staff & a nice location can be found only 6 miles from the Gulf Coast. The cost was low, the room clean, and the continental breakfast above average. We would choose this motel when returning to this area in the future.
Although not a large museum, and less than 2 miles fromSea Center Texas is beautiful. It's tanks are sparkling clean. All the volunteers seemed to want to be there(not the case in many other FREE museum visits). The "touch tank" allows a feel of the sea anemones...ooww :)
Surfside Beach (includes all Brazio beach area) charges only $8.00 for carload access to the beach for entire year (renews Jan. 1). Surfside primitive camping is included in this price. Now, that's a deal if you want to rough it with the kids!
We enjoyed a delicious Mexican restaurant called El Torro's a few blocks from the hotel. The staff will happily give you directions!
Have fun!!
