Why stay here?
The strongest reason is the setting. This is not simply lodging near the coast: Aransas Bay is part of the property experience. Guests can choose bay-facing accommodations, sit outside on a private balcony or patio, and use the hotel's private pier without driving somewhere else to reach the water.
Rooms and suites
The hotel's current room information lists Double Queen guestrooms and one-bedroom King Suites among its choices. Guestrooms include a microwave and mini refrigerator. King Suites add a separate living area and a fully equipped kitchen. The property also lists four ADA-compliant guestrooms, including Queen Suites and Standard King rooms with accessible bath configurations.
Fishing from the hotel
A private 90-foot fishing pier is available to hotel guests. The property also says complimentary guest parking is available on site, with boat and trailer parking across the street.
Pool, breakfast and amenities
Current hotel information lists a 60-foot outdoor pool, hot tub and lounge area; complimentary breakfast buffet; fitness center with Peloton, treadmill and weights; courtyard with propane grills; guest laundry; lending library; and The Mercantile for essentials, beverages and souvenirs.
The Palm Room
The Palm Room is the hotel's on-site restaurant and bar overlooking Aransas Bay.
