I have wanted to stay at the Boardwalk Inn for 20 years, ever since I saw it for the first time during a trip to Kemah, and the hotel did not disappoint! My husband and I were extremely comfortable during our 2 night stay, the staff was very helpful and friendly, and the views were STUNNING! Plus it’s so much easier to enjoy the boardwalk when you’re able to easily go back and forth between your room and the amenities offered.

Vibes are really nice at night and the staff was friendly and our room was clean and ready to go accordingly. Was a really nice aesthetic hotel, however the Wi-Fi was spotty and didn’t have a strong enough connection so the TV kept cutting out. There was no microwave in our room and one of our mirrors in the bathroom did not light up like it was supposed to.

Staff was great! Unfortunately there was construction going on which was quite loud so couldn’t enjoy the balcony. Also air conditioner didn’t work well in the room, got hot at night several times.
