I would have given 5 stars but a couple of things kept me from doing so. First at check-in we were told that they had a lounge, apart of their renovation, but not that is was closed Mondays and Tuesdays (the days we were there) secondly the door to the blue building had no like door hydraulic mechanism to keep it from slamming horribly and can be heard slam when really quiet and thirdly breakfast….i don’t know what I was expecting but it was mostly baked goods. Coffee was great though. Perks are that’s it’s close to everything including being right off the ferry. Super clean even during a renovation and the staff was nice. I do highly recommend

I booked a room at The Place hotel which appeared to be undergoing renovation and/or a name change to Hotel Lydia. Aside from the check-in/front desk area being very hard to find (I nearly walked around the entire bldg to find it), with just a small unassuming taped up sign on the door, which I assume was renovation related, everything else was perfect. My 1st floor room on the Hotel Lydia side exceeded my expectations for a beach area hotel in port Aransas. Incredibly clean, free parking, great location, friendly staff, ceiling fan, microwave, mini fridge, Keurig, giant TV. They sell bags of ice which was convenient. I highly recommend.
