The room was very clean and the staff was more than wonderful. I have mobility issues and the lady at the front desk helped me a whole lot telling me the best place to park with less walking from parking to our room.
Everything, the room had a great view of the boardwalk and the lake… Bed was comfortable, staff was helpful and nice.. Had a great balcony outside our bedroom…
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.
We had a great couple of nights here. Area is very walk-able with some great restaurants and bars near. Hotel was very clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Perfect overnights getaway Hotel to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary! Great location eats and entertainment!
Highly recommend‼️

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This was my fourth stay at the hotel but it’s been a few years since my last visit and I noticed the property is showing its age. In my room the paint and wallpaper were peeling, tub surface was peeling, there was a very strong odor in the hallways/room and the top drawer of our dresser wouldn’t stay closed. On the positive side, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the location - right on the boardwalk - can’t be beat.
This place was awesome!! Right on the boardwalk so everything is in walking distances. Loved the free parking, and all the shopping and within the hotel itself. Loved the live music while sitting in my balcony, but was always quiet by 10pm which was perfect!
