There are a few selections for hotels; motels; inns, and bed and breakfasts. Their prices are reasonable, however, The Boardwalk Inn is located "smack dab" in the middle of all the action. Fine or casual dining, amusement park rides, shopping, and a waterfront view from your room. Reasonable pricing for the location and fun!

Stayed at The Boardwalk Inn this past weekend as a weekend getaway for my wife and me. The decor was nice, the paintings were nice, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom is nice sized, and the views are excellent. Now the not so great: 1. Way overpriced for what you get. The price I paid should be in line with... More

My husband and I came to visit family in Dickinson and we stayed at the Kemah Boardwalk and had an ABSOLUTE blast!!! The room was decorated with bright spring colors and spotless!!! The view of the ocean was BREATH-TAKING!!! For an active boardwalk, while we were in our room, we didn't hear any outside noise-WONDERFUL! If anyone wants a quiet,... More

The hotel is beautiful, and should be a four-star, but seems to fall short. The biggest surprise to me was the lack of signage and grand entry. In addition, there was very little staff, despite that this was spring break. No one attending the parking garage hotel entry. They do not provide the level of service I would expect for... More

I am sorry you feel our intimate property was not staffed accordingly over spring break. Our signage is reflective of our property and blends in with the Kemah atmosphere. I'm glad you found our rooms refreshing and hope you were able to enjoy your stay. Please reach out if we can further assist. More

Checked in 2/28/2012 and checked out 3/1/2012. I went for a few days of rest and relaxation. I found the hotel very calming, clean and accessable to restaurants/shops in the area. I loved the "water" themes/decor in the pictures on the wall and in the elevators. My plaza view room was clean and comfortable with great views. I parked in... More
