The place is not up to Best Westeran standards, grounds are poorly maintained, rooms are deteriorating from lack of maintence. One saving grace, if you are looking for an inexpensive no frills room for a night, this is the place.

We stayed here for the first time this past week. We love Rockport, but have acquired a small dog and our favorite motel doesn't accept pets, so we're in the market for a change. I read reviews on several places, and most were like this one--some loves/some hated, so we settled on this one based on outside appearance (had seen... More

As a former resident of Rockport, TX and an annual attendee of the Oysterfest in Fulton, I wanted to give this hotel a try instead in lieu of our regular accomodations as it was within walking distance of the festival grounds. The hotel reviews were good. Upon arrival, there was some congestion off the highway with construction and the flow... More

10 of us from Dallas/Ft. Worth, on a birding field trip, stayed at the Best Western by the Bay in Fulton on Thursday night (2/23/12). We got great mid-week room rates and enjoyed the wine happy hour (though the red wine seemed a little watered down) and hot breakfast the following morning. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Microwaves... More

I picked this place at random and was very pleased. The breakfast was one of the best I have had at any Best Western. Even cooked pancakes and french toast to order. Employees were very friendly. When we left they were unloading new furniture. Will head back to visit again.

The buildings and grounds look attractive, but the rooms and amenities need more attention. This place is skimping on everything: bed covers (too thin), no additional blankets, no decent reading lights in the room, only 1 paper cup, and the promise of WiFi that does not work.

Looks really nice from the outside but the room told a different story. The room was OK clean but appointments were "tired". The WiFi signal was too weak to use in the room as was a cell phone signal. When asked at the front desk the resonse was ...well it SHOULD be OK. The Breakfast was better than the average... More

The room was comfortable and quiet and conveniently located however, the staff and management made very little effort to deal with minor issues and didn't seem to care whether they were resolved or not. One gentleman was told (3 times) to keep trying the door key that he wasn't doing it properly when in fact the problem was the batteries... More

the hotel is nice, location right on the texas coast, has all the ammenities: frig., coffee maker, microwave. the rooms are large, neat, the bathroom is roomy, neat but not really clean, not dirty, maybe just old and worn out. the landscaping is beautiful, really nice, spread out not crowded, looks more like a resort or condos than a hotel....
