Housekeeping was immaculate and responsive. This is a location central to everything: stores, restaurants, breakfast places, and, of course, Motif #1. Only negative was that the Hideaway opened the day we were leaving so we weren't able to avail ourselves of that during our stay. Otherwise, gotta rate this place an eleven out of ten! Will definitely be back!!!

When we arrived, the door was locked, directing guests to use the info in their text or email to access their room, or to call the phone number on the door for 24/7 service. I hadn't received check-in info via text or email. When I called the number, it went directly to voicemail twice. Fortunately, a current guest of the hotel let me follow him in, and a housekeeper was able to get me the information I needed to access our room. It was two hours and twenty minutes past check-in time when the text arrived with check-in information. When I replied it would have been nice to have the check-in info prior the check-in time, or the phone answered, the person who replied said they were doing laundry out back and did not get the call. Another couple was experience the same issue as I attempted to check-in, so I believe this was not a one-off problem. If they're not going to have a lobby and front desk, I think they really need to have someone actually answer the phone and/or reply quickly. Our King Oceanfront room was on the second floor, leading onto the deck that seats thirty. We were the only ones using the deck, fabulous for watching the sunrise. but I would not have loved looking out at thirty people using it, between us and our ocean view, during a busier time of the season. I'd recommend getting a room on the third floor for the view and to avoid hearing people above walking. On our second night, guests were in the adjacent room and it felt like they were in the room with us, we could hear their television and every word they said. The walls are thin. The bed was very firm and the pillows are large and extremely firm. We found it very uncomfortable. I was very excited to stay here; I grew up in Rockport, going to Front Beach with my grandmother, and looked forward to being at this location and checking out the new hotel. We'll try a different place next time we visit.

It was clean! That' is always #1 with me. And the grounds…read moreare lovely and wonderfully landscaped with beautiful flowers. EDIT: I OVERLOOKED VIEWING PICTURES THAT GUESTS POSTED AND ... EWWW! I DON'T KNOW IF THEY TOOK IT UP A COUPLE NOTCHES, OR IF I JUST GOT LUCKY WITH A CLEAN ROOM. I WILL AGREE WITH ONE PICTURE THOUGH, THE INSIDE OF THE COFFEEMAKER HAD THE NORMAL RESIDUE ON IT, WHICH EVEN AT HOME GROSSES ME OUT. BUT I MYSELF WOULD NEVER USE A HOTEL ROOM COFFEE MAKER. However so many reviews state the staff is friendly ... I never saw a smile on any of them let alone any friendliness. Not a big deal. But what WAS a big deal to us was the misleading description on their website under amenities that they offer a hot breakfast. The only things that are hot are the coffees, the hot water, and the toaster. If you're thinking of the breakfasts other hotels call a hot continental breakfast ... (eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns, Belgian waffle maker), don't! So besides the hot coffee, there's juice, cold cereal, instant oatmeal packets, yogurt, fruit, bagels, English muffins, and packaged danish, muffins and cookies. At least it was something considering the room was over $300. EDIT: THERE ARE ALSO TWO PICTURES OF THE BEAUTIFUL HOT AND "YUMMY" CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST. FIRST, IT IS NOT THE ROCKPORT INN, AND SECONDLY IT WAS POSTED BY THE BUSINESS OWNER! TSK! TSK! And their Hotel market, with snacks, beverages, and convenience items. HaHaHa! It's a closet without a door. A cooler with soda, maybe water and juice, and several little baskets with snacks ... like grocery store family packs of tiny individual pouches that are usually labeled not for resale! I bought two tiny bags of cheez-itz and a coke for $10! They didn't get enough out of me for the room! So was it like $2.50 for each one gulper package of crackers and $5 for a can of coke? And I don't know what were considered convenience items, there were only the limited snacks and drinks ... forget toothpaste or Tylenol or any other toiletry or OTC item. When asked, they said sometimes they have things like that if people leave them behind! WHAT? We did love the little courtyard outside the pool area with all the patio furniture and fire pit ... but the pit should be right in the middle so more people can enjoy it. The first night our family of 10 just huddled in a corner because there were already 8 people around it who didn't seem to want to share. The second night we just grabbed some chairs and put them closer, saying "you don't mind if we join you, do you"? Of course we doubted they'd say no, but if the fire were in the middle, more people would be able to enjoy it. And there's plenty of room out there for those who don't want to sit near it, to have a quiet area elsewhere. Would I go back again? If I had a reason to go back to that area, I definitely would, but it's highly unlikely because this time we were there for a wedding being held at the Beaumont Hotel, 10 min. down the road, (which I understand was a DEFINITE ripoff)!Their standard king or 2 queen rooms were anywhere from $600 - $1,200! So I'm still going to rate the Rockport Inn a 4 ... I'm just subtracting the on star for the lack of friendliness and food!
