Bay View Inn

We have been staying here for years when we visit Rockport. Mostly because they are truly pet friendly! However, we've noticed this time, that the cleanliness has declined significantly. There was blood splatter on the walls, the light switches were filthy as well as the mini fridge. And the A/C unit didn't cool. We had to complain and have our rooms switched. Then after we checked out and left they charged my card an additional fee. When I called to find out why, they said my room smelled like Marijuana. WTH we had our kid and dog with us. They are getting ridiculous. Last trip they tried to charge me an additional (ridiculous amount)fee for pet fees when it's the pet fee is listed online per pet per night. This was the final straw. We will NOT be back to stay here again. They will say/do anything to try and charge you extra fees!

Our favorite place to stay in Rockport. Parking is so easy; car is usually right outside the room door. No ice machine. Walking distance to the fishing pier.

Conveniently located downtown near the bay. This is an older motel that has updated flooring and bathroom. However the bed uses a sheet as the mattress cover and there is no sheet for sleeping. There is no comforter and the provided blanket is coarse. The room is poorly soundproofed and I could hear the conversations and TV of both neighbors. Also the front door is right next to the parking and early risers idling their diesel trucks while leaving while awaken you. There is no breakfast provided. The room was safe and clean but noisy.

This is a small Motel like property. My wife and I weren't expecting much, but we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was accommodating. We were able to check in early with no problem and the owner found that the charge for our 2 dogs was a little high, so she gave is a huge discount. The rooms were clean and the shops were only a few steps away. I would stay there again.

Construction of underground pipes right out front of the hotel. No pool. The only staff is 1 lady who checks you in. I saw no other staff. I picked this hotel to see if I could bring my dogs the next time but there is no way I will do that having been there. The toilet seat has one bumper out of 4 causing the seat to be wobbly. Lots of flies in the room as well.

This a nice clean place to stay but be warned they do charge a fee for service animals.

This is always my go to place for a quick, inexpensive, getaway. It is an older property with appropriate renovations. I love that it is one story and plenty of room outside to grill. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shops. Also has a sea wall across the street for fishing. Service has always been great.

It was close to the pier which is good and convenient for fishing and night time fishing what we did not like is there was their ice machine was not working and the lighting outside was horrible

Large spacious room, easy access parking

I liked the fact that it was right on the water. However, when we tried to open the door the keycard reader wasn't working properly. Had to try several times to open the door, every time we came back to our room. When we walked in the floors were dirty with sand and leftover food. A dead and dried roach was glued to the bathroom floor. The tables also hadn't been cleaned and the shower has mildew. One of the beds had a huge stain in the middle of the sheet and the other had hairs between the sheets. The office persin was more than willing to give us cleaning supplies as well as another set of sheets so WE could clean it ourselves. If we weren't in a pickle we would've gone elsewhere. And your only "amnenities" is the tv, IF it works. Not even an ice machine.

The room was very clean.

Location is great! They are always nice, but they have gone downhill over the years with cleanliness of floors, trim & showers and the rooms smell musty. I wish they would do some updates.

Bay View Inn was excellent for a weekend fishing getaway! The room was very clean very nice, and the beds were comfortable. Very well kept. AC was nice and cold at night. The location was perfect for what we were doing, and where we were going to be. I will definitely stay there again!

For the price I thought was going to be better, the location close to the bay 5 points but needs more attention on cleaning the very first day we found a cockroach down on the floor close to bed, they have to change towels every day because they didn't, the white towels was tanned not white and the place has a smell. I do not booking in this place again. This was debut and farewell !!

The room was very clean (no bugs), the a/c worked great, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It will be our go-to place from now on. It is within walking distance of the water, shops, and restaurants. The price was very reasonable.

Room was Clean, Cold and Comfy! Great Service,Friendly and Nice. We Shall Return to Stay in Our Next Trip to Rockport. We Thank You Kindly Bay View Inn. Good day to You.

Check in was simple and the clerk was friendly. The room was updated and looked nice at a glance but on closer examination the rust on fixtures was off putting. The bed was comfortable but the were old stains on the sheets and there was a huge stain on the chair. The flooring was really nice but needed to be swept and they don’t clean the room until you check out.

Everything’s rusted, even the toilet paper holder. It gives the feeling that things aren’t clean. Sand all over the floor. Pullout sofa was pretty gross; soiled mattress and no mattress protector for the next person. Killed a roach on the wall. On the upside, the regular queen beds were comfortable. The motel is also walking distance to the fun Art district.

When I arrived I was given room 9. Upon entering the room I observed three roaches. I went back to the office and reported what happened. I was issued a new room. When entering room 12 the first thing I noticed was a used towel on the bathroom floor. After looking around the room further I noticed bugs about a half inch long. They weren’t roaches but some type of insects. I flushed 4 of those down the commode. I always check rooms for bed bugs. When I pulled the cushions up on the sleeper sofa I noticed rodent droppings, insect carcasses and hair under the cushions. When I pulled the sheets back, the mattress protector was filthy. It was mildewed and had stains and appeared to not have been washed. The window sills have insect carcasses and dirt in them. There was some type of insect droppings on the baseboards. I went back to the office and a different lady was there. I told her the situation and she just said that she could not refund my money. I told her that my grandsons and I could not stay there. She just said, So you are checking out? I gave her the key and searched of a couple of hours trying to find another place to stay. I finally found one. I normally don’t complain about things but mouse droppings and roaches are just too much. I did get refunded for three of the four days we had reserved. We did not stay there any nights but the manager felt the need to keep on nights stay.

Thin walls,could hear people talking in next room at 5 am,got woke up

Price was great and the facility was spacious! The only concern is the noise.You can hear literally everything on both sides of your room along with any noise outside of your room.

Conveniently located downtown near the bay. This is an older motel that has updated flooring and bathroom. However the bed uses a sheet as the mattress cover and there is no sheet for sleeping. There is no comforter and the provided blanket is coarse. The room is poorly soundproofed and I could hear the conversations and TV of both neighbors. Also the front door is right next to the parking and early risers idling their diesel trucks while leaving while awaken you. There is no breakfast provided. The room was safe and clean but noisy.

Everything was great, though I don't recommend the pullout couch. Then again those couches are always rough to sleep on anyway....

This is our 4th time there right next to the water the sunrises are amazing. The room is spacious and clean will continue to stay thrry

The chair in our room had serval visible stains and bathroom ventilation wasn’t working. The door had a 2 inch gap and you could see headlights shining into room

Friendly people but location was very run down and worn out, rust, old old furniture, weak bed

First time staying here. It was ok. Not bad for the price. Had a little trouble finding out the tv but the front desk attendant came right over and helped us. Wished there were a ceiling fan in the room and a landline.

Love the quietness and how freely everyone was. Disliked that the ac did not work so we slept in a warm room. Not to bad but wish it was cool

Big rooms, good beds and the price was right.

I reserved a room for my daughter for 3 nights over Thanksgiving, as we stay in an RV. She arrived the first night and thought the room seemed chilly but ok. Woke up to decaf coffee only. Next day, Thanksgiving, she spent the day with us, when she went back to the hotel at night, room was cool again. Office was closed. The next night she told the man at the desk and he offered her another room but she was leaving early the next morning and accepted a blanket instead. Our complaint is the terrible customer service when we complained. The management was so rude and NEVER apologized. She only blamed us for not accepting another room on her last night, or not calling the posted phone number after hours. This is a warning to anyone who books there, you're on your own. Bring your own coffee and blankets! And don't complain because she'll bite your head off!

I had to call when I got there to get the key to the room waited 20 minutes then when I checked out, I had to call them and waiting and waiting and waiting. No one never showed up so I just left the key at the door. The room had roaches coming out of from underneath the table

staff is always nice, rooms cute and priced well…

This is a no frills property. You get what you pay for. Nobody at front desk unless you call on cell phone. Its has the bare necessities. Light outside room is out. Room was not totally clean because I found food in fridge from previous tenant; dirty towel left in bathroom. THE LOCATION IS VERY GOOD! Lets just say they do not go out of their way to please you.

Staff was awesome! Rooms were pretty clean. Great location to the little shops and food. Right by the bay.

The room was very clean (no bugs), the a/c worked great, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It will be our go-to place from now on. It is within walking distance of the water, shops, and restaurants. The price was very reasonable.

Right next to water and plenty of shopping within walking diatance. Had staff accidentally walk in room unannounced which was a little uncomfortable but accidents happeb

Friendly staff, clean rooms, on the water! Definitely staying here again.

Great location but poor service Reception rarely manned and bathroom odours but cheap enough

Loved the stay. Room was clean and comfy. Ms Lorraine at the front desk was sweet and welcoming. Convenient walking to shopping and restaurants. The pier down from the place was perfect. Will be staying again soon.

Awesome place to stay across the street from the pier. Few minutes to the beach and awesome shopping.

The courtyard was beautiful. Walking distance to the water, restaurants, a shaved ice hut we like, and live entertainment. Just be aware that the noise levels are sometimes lively.

It was a small cute room with a large walk in shower with plenty of hot water, has a mini fridge and microwave. It is right next to a large lighted jetty fishing pier and right in front of downtown Rockport. Walk to all the dining and boutiques. Location is awesome. My only complaint would be that there were a few dead water roaches in the bathroom.

Great value right on the bay and only 30 minutes from activities in Port Aransas. Within walking distance of the quaint shops on the main drag in Rockport.

Great location. Most everything is walking distance to include fishing. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Right across from the ocean and a pier. Walking distance to everything.

Great little no-frills kinda place, next to the Bay and across the street from Downtown Rockport dining and shopping.

Great location.

Down the street from shopping and across the street from the pier

Good location. A short walk to town. The check in lady was nice. The room was nice.
