This hotel reminds me of how hotels use to be at Port Aransas- good value for the money. The exterior is a rather "unique" pink color that certainly gets the attention but stop the judging right there. The room was a total surprise. The first thing that I noticed in the room was how very clean it was. The room... more

OK - if you can get past the exterior (Nero my friend - you gotta slap a coat of paint on the outside!) - you will NOT regret staying here. We took a chance and stayed here based on all the positive reviews. When we drove up - I'll admit - we almost drove away. The exterior is a bit... more

If not unwarranted, your kind words about me are definitely unnecessary. But they did bring a smile to my face, so I thank you. As for Satchel, she is a beach bum dog that loves everybody. I read her your comments and showed her the picture. Although it may have been the fact I put her tennis ball near the...

Invited by a fellow Dental Worker to go with her to the Coast, I was told about this "Little Pink Wonderland." We arrived at about ten o clock, and the manager, Nero, was there to greet us. He was very helpful and courteous, and carried all of my bags to my room so I could carry my guitar. The room... more

Okay, Alice...I'm certainly happy you decided to chase the rabbit down the hole, and ended up in our "Little Pink Wonderland." Our Wonderland has it's own cast of unusual characters that continue to grow ever more "curiouser and curiouser"...by way of Memphis, Tennessee the smiling, mute hotel dog, Satchel; Our mad-hatter of housekeeping, Lori; Our curt hookah smoking maintenance man,...

I reserved a triple room for my daughter and 2 of her friends. I was unable to find any pictures of the room on their website. That would have been nice. When I clicked on pictures, none would show. Anyways, I can't comment on the room itself. My daughter said it was fine. It would have to be a dump... more

I have to be doubly vigilant when I've got young people without parental control staying at the property. So I remember your daughter and her friends quite clearly. Your daughter is charming and well-spoken, and moreover she and her friends were very well-behaved during their time here. You should be proud. She was also rather complimentary regarding the property and...

Upon my arrival I recieved a warm greeting and friendly smile from the staff. To my dismay I was informed that my room wasn't ready due to the previous guests.... But no worries the Inn gave me an upgrade and placed me in one of their top selling suites! It was AMAZING! On Sat. night they had a live band... more

From accomodations to the staff everything is GREAT, you are not treated as a guest but as family. I would and have recommended Port Aransas Inn to quite a few friends. Minutes from the beach, extremely friendly staff. I will definitely be a repeat guest. I attended Sand Fest for the 1st time this year, and enjoyed it thoroughly the... more

I have stayed here before over the years and never had a bad time ever! The staff are so friendly & laid back. I was there this past weekend for my birthday with my significant other & friends, and we enjoyed the amenities and the location. Nero was really great!! (Hope I spelled that right). He made us feel very... more

UNBELIEVABLE! Thats what we thought before we left on the trip. I called to make a reservation and talked to Nero who has got to be the BEST in the world at Customer Service. Not only was there a vacancy immediately following a holiday, the rates were TOTALLY AFFORDABLE even during peak season. We thought this was too good to... more

First time to stay here. Good rates, helpful and friendly staff. Personality in a good way, not sterile feeling like so many chains are. Bed comfortable, futon could use a new or thicker mattress. Parking can be a little dicey on a Saturday night, but accomodations are made for that in case of being blocked in. Close to everything. Comfortable... more

What a wonderful stay! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. They will do anything to customize your stay. Our family is very laid back and the hotel matches in atmosphere. The music Sat. night was very fun for everyone and we had to drag our screaming 1 yr old back to the room for dinner. Side Note: We started... more
