Find the Cheap Port Aransas Hotels

We made a trip out to Portland Tx to visit family and stayed at Alisters. It was priced right at $42.00 a night and had a small kitchen. The room is quite large ( we stayed in a king) and homey. The bed was firm but comfortable for us. The water pressure was the better than my hotel in Portland so that was a bonus. We checked in extraordinarily late however, the manager was more than accommodating and understanding even though we had to wake him up very late. Tons of toiletries and literally had everything we needed. The only thing they could do better in our eyes is maybe get a heavier blanket we were freezing and the blanket was a thin sheet type cover. However, we would absolutely be staying here again!!!!!

Booked this place for one day and when I showed up to check in (it was 2pm) and the lady at the front desk pointed to a sign and said check in is at 4pm. Not bothering to ask my name to even see if the room is available, no pre check in, nothing just ”check in is at 4pm” and pointed to a sign. Now I understand this was early and I was fine with it and said 'Ok, no problem, I'll come back.” but as I was walking out another gentleman walked in and asked to check in and the front desk lady's attitude completely changed. She asked his name, checked him in, no problem that it was early. I was friendly when I asked to check in no different than the man after me. The only difference between this gentleman and myself was that he was Caucasian and I am not. I myself didn't point that out but it was pointed out by others. I come to Port Aransas quite often and have never had an experience like this so it was disheartening. When I came back to check in at 4pm I was given a room with a faulty AC and broken shower head so it just further made me feel unwelcome at this property. The room itself was clean and the hotel was very close to things in Port Aransas but the experience with the lady at the front desk made me feel that perhaps people such as myself aren't welcome at this property, or at least when she's working.

This Hotel is very comfortable… Large wide open spaces in the rooms… Our king size bed offered us wonderful rest, very comfortable bed… The room blacks out, with the window shades, for a complete darkness during the day if you want to take a nap. We had our 2452 Bayliner in the marina for our stay, the place offered us quick access… to the marina. Actually just around the corner. There is a very calm tranquil atmosphere in this Hotel, the staff are very attentive. Price very reasonable in comparison to other places on the island… You are very close to the main drag in this hotel.

After experiencing bugs in the beds in multiple rooms at the Seaside Boutique Hotel, we showed up to the Best Western around 11:00 pm looking for a room for the evening. This hotel was highly rated and we were hopeful it would be a reprieve from what we'd just experienced. We approached the front desk at the Best Western to make a reservation for that night only to learn that we couldn’t because we were BLACKLISTED from making a reservation there. Initially, we thought the front desk associate was playing a joke on us after having heard the story about what we’d just experienced, but he wasn’t. He had our names on a post-it in front of him and refused to rent us a room. In shock, we drove 40 minutes to Corpus and stayed for the night. The following morning, we contacted Best Western to get more information on the blacklist reasoning, only to find out that, you guessed it, THIS PROPERTY SHARES A MANAGER WITH SEASIDE BOUTIQUE HOTEL (the place where we experienced bugs in our bed). Jeremy, the manager, told the front desk agent not to rent to us and claimed that he was unable to find the bugs we complained about. In addition, he had his front desk person the following day relay his message instead of calling me himself like I requested. This experience was scarring and makes me question every review on the internet. Moral of the story… avoid Seaside “Boutique” Hotel and Best Western, check for bed bugs, and frankly, stay in Corpus and drive in for the day because Port A is over priced. We’ll definitely be reporting this place to the Health Department and the Better Business Bureau.
