Our room was clean and very inviting. With all the cars there was no beach view from our 1st floor room. The hot tub was very nice, the pool was very cold but beautiful. Kewpie's garden was very nice and plenty of activities for the teenagers. The breakfast was good, the women who ran the breakfast were very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and checking in and out was easy. We felt safe letting our teenagers wander around the area with out us. We did not use the housekeeping option and getting more clean towels was super easy. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. We will come back again!

The location is great. Check in was a breeze. Super nice staff. Now mind you it is a old hotel. They have done many updates that are nice. But in the bathroom we had exposed wires showing under our mising light cover. Which would be a super easy fix. Replace the cover. We paid $300 for a saturday night on a holiday weekend. Normally it's around $100 a night. So I know the money is there to fix the light fixture. There was also a strong cleaning solution smell. I am not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The bar staff at the main restaraunt Gaido's was amazing. If that helps. I would stay there again if the price was right.

MY room had MOLD all over the place,
I took sheets of the just help housekeeping something I do at every hotel I say at.
The cover that protects the sheets had several stained of BLOOD on them. Rust all visible on the Refrigerator, water knobs
There was air all of the bedding.
For the price I paid that was over $600
I was not expecting what I walk into.
I will never stay there again.

I went here with my daughter for two nights for a getaway from Houston city life and it definitely did not disappoint.
From the moments I got there the check in process was super easy and staff was friendly.
When we arrived to our room I was a tad bit sad because I booked the ocean view room and I got a room infront of the pool instead.
But other than that it was the best experience yet.
The pool was great, breakfast as yummy, staff is friendly.
Will be coming back asap.

It was very nasty. There was a big fight at the pool and I was a witness and got someone and was told by one of the guys that went to jail that he would come back and k*ll a mother f***ker. I then went to the office to ask for a refund cause I didn't feel safe staying the night and they wouldn't refund me. Then went on saying that the bar next door owns the pool and not them. I went back to the pool and talked to the GREAT manager there and he told me that in fact the hotel does own the pool. He took my name and my number and is fighting with me to get a refund. If you decide to stay here just know that the bar next door let's their customers pay to be able to use the pool and there could end up being a fight. O and there was a bunch of young families there with young kids while this fight broke out and having to pull kids out of the way of a fight and police was NOT what I wanted to do on my first time to the beach. Pictures on the site is very very outdated.

I'll start with pointing out the best part of staying in this hotel 1) the pool is big and amazing for adults and kids! Just got to be careful with the big cockroaches wandering around the pool. and 2) the beach view is right in front of the hotel, as soon as you cross the street, you don't have to take your vehicle to find a parking spot.
The hotel has great customer service, everyone are so nice.
The breakfast is ok, it got what you usually can eat for breakfast.
The beds and pillows are comfy.
The microwave and fridge are so cute and they were very cleaned and worked pretty well.
The a/c, the shower and toilet worked great, we had no problems with that and also the TV and remote worked too.

Now the only bad things I found was that the room was not cleaned, like the carpet cause I found a sock and an underwear of someone else.
As soon as I opened the door I could smell the humidity, so it is a must to have some sort of ventilation because the smell was even inside the chest drawers every time I opened it, a humidity smell came out.
The little bookshelf it was not cleaned, to much dust. I know because I wanted to read a book and they were all dirty and dusty.
The bathtub is so slippery, got to be very careful or you'll fall inside.
Shampoo containers are all so old and rusty, they don't look very nice.
The sink and the toilet are old too, so they also must be replaced.
And lastly, we asked for room service once and didn't receive it for a 4-night stayed.

They have free cruise parking, so many stars for that. The breakfast ladies are my favorite part. They are so genuinely kind and helpful. The beds were not comfortable at all and I don't mean that they were too firm or soft. I mean, you wake up 10 times and can't sleep well because they like sink toward the middle. I'd still go again for the free cruise parking though. There is not a laundry mat (not complaining- just putting that in there for info). GREAT location! Attached to Nick's and they have the best food. Right on the seawall.

Terrible experience at Gaido’s Inn. The hotel looked nothing like the photos online.

Our first room faced a shady parking lot and had furniture duct taped together. The second room had broken furniture and a broken refrigerator. After spending over $100 at the restaurant, the microwave shorted out the room, trapped our food inside, and forced us into a THIRD room.

The third room had mold on the bed, ripped/stained sheets, spiders in the bedding, and a broken microwave, TV, and dresser. Even the vending machines were broken.

The hotel’s broken gate also damaged our car, denting both passenger-side doors and scraping the paint.

We had to call the front desk and police over a violent disturbance next door involving screaming and things hitting the walls.

Breakfast was cramped with nowhere to sit, housekeeping never cleaned the room or refreshed towels, and management offered no refund or compensation despite all the issues.

I took photos of everything and honestly feel we left the room cleaner than we found it. Save yourself the stress and stay elsewhere.

I made this reservation on May 11th, 2026. Confirmation # was 73447049268627. The reservation was for 2 days, May 19th and May 20th, with check out on May 21st. However, when they arrived at the hotel, the clerk at the desk said that there was no reservation under that name and they had no rooms available. I have the paperwork where I paid the day I made the reservation. I have used your services many times before without incident, so I am really disappointed. I have notified my credit card company of this problem and hope the charge will be stopped. If it isn't stopped in time and has already went through I will be expecting a full refund.

Shops are a short walking distance. We get a room not viewing the beach because we leave the room if we want to see the beach. A/C in the room worked great, microwave, coffee pot and good size mini fridge with frozen spot are all nice. You have to request a blow dryer. Staff was so friendly!

This is the ideal place to bring a young family or have your mother-in-law watch the kids. Bring the kids if she wants to be a babysitter while you and your wife honeymoon at the grand Galvez or one of the other wonderful places down the street you literally have a Hilton a Holiday Inn, a five star resort and this wonderful family place all within walking distance you could have a huge wonderful family reunion Right here on this block. I highly recommend this place. I am told there’s a honeymoon suite here which I haven’t had the privilege of viewing, but that would also be an option you could have a wedding here this place is incredible.

All the staff was pleasant and helpful. The kitchen ladies were there to help get you on your way. I still love the location on Seawall, and I think the age of the hotel is quaint. The room was comfortable and clean. I love their pool and hot tub... however, we brought someone else's hair back with us to the room, yuck. Our stay was late April 2026.
It would be great if there were more places to hang wet garments inside the room. I would think that tile flooring would also be a future update, carpet is not great so near the beach.
This was our 2nd stay at Gaido's, and we will most likely return. We enjoy the small hotel over the huge highrise.

The inn is in a good location. It’s an old place and you have to appreciate that vintage charm. It was decorated cute and beachy. The bed was very comfortable. However someone must have dumped concentrated cleaning solution on the carpet as the smell in the room was almost unbearable; fumes in the room were so bad we could hardly breathe. There was no insulation around the door, which is exterior to the ocean, so there was no escape from the warm humid air and exterior noise. The door also had bad chips and scratches on the exterior, worse than other nearby rooms. The office staff was adequately polite, but gave minimal effort. I called for a hair dryer and they said I could come get one from the office, no offer to bring it up to me on the second floor. I wish they’d mentioned that in the info letter left in the room.

The room was clean and the view was fantastic. We stayed seaside on the second floor. We were right by the pool. The outside bar connected to the pool is served from the connected restaurant Nicks. The food isnt the greateat from there but the drinks are tasty and you dont even have to get in a vehicle. The breakfast and the ladies serving it are amazing. They were so helpful and sweet. The hotel itself is great but its the ladies in the breakfast room that will bring us back. Great hospitality.

There's something about this place that we really like. It is an older place and it definitely shows. There's a few things that could be updated. But, it's in a great location and is staffed by even greater people! The pool area is a big draw. The pool bar is a great place to hang out whether you're 25 or 75! They serve great food for lunch, dinner or snacks. Happy hour is a hit in my book! The motel itself serves free breakfast every day! Not much you could need that isnt already provided. I must say though, that for my back, the beds are way too soft. Unfortunately, that might keep us from staying there again. My back hurt so much and I didn't sleep too well. But, like I said, There's something about this place!

I like that the property is gated at night, but in general it needs some TLC.
The breakfast area is quite small and crowded. The pool area was very nice, but the hot tub (which looks like it's part of the same property) does not actually belong to the hotel, it belongs to the restaurant/bar next door, but allows the hotel patrons to have access to it, as well as people from the public. The hot tub was absolutely gross and dirty with things floating in it. People eating, drinking and smoking in the hot tub,
