Tbis place has a certain amount of charm. The owner’s kid was doing homework behind the counter - hard working family. It’s good to support people like this.

Nice place to stay

Gulfway Motel & Restaurant was a very nice place to stay. The outside looked average of a motel that age. However, the room was clean. Lighting was great. The bed was really comfortable. All in all, we will stay there again on our next visit to High Island, Texas on the Bolivar Peninsula.
