I found Island Hotel Port Aransas to be a decent stay when we were in the area. Price was a bit…read moreunder $60 per night for a double queen bed room. Cheap enough for a tourist area. Access is super easy since it's on the main highway through town. Room was acoustically insulated well enough that traffic noise was never an issue. Room was acceptably clean & comfortable to me. But my criteria for lodging is pretty simple: a place to sleep & clean up before heading out on touristy adventure. Complimentary breakfast had usual sorts of options: coffee & tea, pastries to include bagels, hot & cold cereal, fruits & yogurt, waffle batter to make if you like, etc. Breakfast room decor was light, bright, and cheery. Desk staff was always friendly, smiling, and outgoing. Downsides were: 1. The shower/bath tub did not have traction strips, so caution was called for to avoid slipping & falling while showering. 2. Vent fan in bathroom did not work. Flipping the switch on-off was an exercise in placebo gratification for the gullible. 3. Overhead light in our room did not work for the five days we were there. Other lights (bedside lamps & vanity alcove light) did work. Supposedly maintenance was changing all the bulbs in the building to high efficiency bulbs. But they obviously didn't get to our room while we were there and we lived without that light. Nonetheless, I'd gladly utilize the Island Hotel as my Port Aransas home base if and when I visit the area again.

DO NOT STAY HERE, bugs, dirt, mold, not clean at all. We…read morestayed here for one night, walking in the room there was a BUG CRAWLING on the wall. The floor was sticky and moist, the air was extremely humid. We then checked the beds due to the dirtiness of the hotel, we found MOLD, the mattress was very dirty. The floors were also dirty and there were random cords on the floor. When we went to heat up our food the microwave was not clean and had spot all on it from who knows what. Pictures are attached with what we faced. I would not stay here unless you want to be sick and face multiple health violations..

We left a whole night earlier because of the bugs and were given no discount no reimbursement for the night we did not stay. Our young kids were staying with us and cannot be around pest control substances as they have many allergies. The manager Nadia told us that we were expected to stay there that night even though roaches were present and that no reimbursement would be available since they offered pest control to come spray. Obviously customer service does matter at all to this place, they only care about money not if someone were to have a good time and return. Would not recommend this place to anyone especially do not stay in 408!!! I have pictured to prove and we left due to roaches being in there, no not sleeping another night with roaches.

Check-in was simple and easy, and upon entering our first-floor room (1109), the room smelled fresh and clean. During our inspection of the bedding, we noticed a boot print and some yellow stains on the top blanket. There were also a few stains on the towels. Fortunately, this was not a major issue for us since we brought our own sheets and towels. The fitted sheets on both beds appeared new and clean. The bathroom itself was clean, and the barn-style door added a cute aesthetic touch, although it seemed more decorative than functional and did not provide much privacy. The room lighting was excellent, with recessed can lights throughout the space that gave it a bright and modern feel. One inconvenience was that the room did not initially include the microwave listed in the room description. However, after contacting the front office, the staff was very friendly and accommodating and delivered one the following day. At night, the exterior lighting around the property was extremely bright and shined through the edges of the curtains, making it difficult to sleep. We ended up placing towels around the curtain edges to block out the light. The pool area was clean and well maintained, with a depth reaching 6 feet. The location directly on the beach was definitely one of the highlights of the stay.

Fabulous place to stay. We traveled to Port A without booking a hotel. Drove around and stumbled on…read morethe Beachgate. When we walked into the office we were greeted by wonderful staff members who gave us a great room at a great price due to it being off season. It was fabulous. Our room had a small balcony with side view of the beach, large refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The bathtubs were amazing. Deep enough to get a full soak which was great after a long drive. It was attached to a one bedroom efficiency which also had a refrigerator and kitchen appliances. The property is RIGHT on the beach! Plenty of rooms to choose from. You can book a one bedroom condo and add two additional (attached) one bedroom efficiencies which also have bathrooms, kitchen appliances and a full refrigerator. Great for large groups. Everyone can stay together and still have privacy. They also have laundry facilities on site and in some of the condos. AND they welcome dogs! $25 per dog per night. We had boarded our dogs. Next time they are coming with us! The property is within walking distance to a restaurant too. Great HEATED pool and jacuzzi as well. Special shout out to MIRANDA who assisted us with finding the right room for a return visit. Coordinated with other staff to show us three options for our next stay in May. Highly recommend this place. The reviews of the Beachgate (on Yelp) do not represent this property accurately.

The manager immediately turned hostile and unhelpful when we questioned if someone had access to the room. There were two blatant security issues that i should have addressed from the first. The code for the electric lock on the door is the last 4 of your phone number which is too easily accessed from anyone in the "office". They don't give you an option to create your own. Secondly, the set of two adjoining rooms had a 3rd door that could be opened by the occupant of that unit directly into the rooms we were in. Upon arrival I could tell the place was very run down. We should have left right then. I would still have my wallet and cash and wouldn't have to go to all the trouble of canceling my card and replacing my id etc!
