Kemah Boardwalk Location
Located in the center of Kemah Boardwalk overlooking Galveston Bay, the hotel is 40 km from William P. Hobby Airport. The surrounding area includes Kemah Boardwalk Marina (0.3 km), Stingray Reef (0.3 km), and multiple parks including Rex L Meador Park (2.5 km) and Robinson Park (4.5 km).
Hotel Services & Amenities
The property offers an outdoor pool and hot tub, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and parking. Meeting facilities accommodate up to 70 guests with catering options including seafood, steaks, and Cajun cuisine.

“The biggest draw is undeniable: you're right on the Kemah Boardwalk, amid the buzz. Balconies and suites offer bay views, though some past experiences suggest room quality can be inconsistent. For families seeking pure entertainment access, it certainly hits a mark.”
