Honestly, the people running this hotel should find another line of work. They don't know how to run a hotel or deal with people. They can't keep track of reservations, can't keep rooms clean, and have no idea what is advertised on their own website. They get mad if you complain and will threaten to throw you out with no... more

We decided to stay at the Alister Square Inn due to family staying near a condo home. The location was awsome and the room was not bad at all. The Air Condition worked very well and the room was very clean. We didn't have a chance to visit the pool area, but it looked pretty good. We stayed for two... more

What Happened to the Allister Inn? I stayed here for years just to get away and was always satisfied. They had great rates and a comfortable room. I live in Austin, TX and decided to spend a couple days fishing. When I arrived the front desk lady was very nice and I reserved my room for one night with a... more

The Alister Square Inn in Port Aransas deeply regrets that our guest did not feel that our staff was not responsive to his requests. At Alister Square Inn we take pride in our reputation of outstanding customer service and extend an invitation to the guest to please give us a future opportunity to prove it to him. Sincerly, Darlene Smith

In the past we have used this place 4-5 times a year for our weekend get-a-ways and have been doing so for some 6-7 years but I have noticed a decline the past few visits(couple of years). I kept thinking that maybe I just caught them on a bad day but it keeps getting worse every visit. It used to... more

We have new mattresses in all rooms. We are currently updating the outside of our hotel. Our continental breakfast includes: cold cereals, bagels with a toaster, jellies, muffins, Danishes, breakfast cookie, granola bars, fresh milk, butter, cream cheese, hot coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea, orange juice and apple juice. We are disappointed you did not find our rooms up to...

The first odd thing about the Alister Square Inn was that we were required to pay for our entier stay up front - before we had even been issued our key cards. That should have been enough of a red flag right then that we should NOT have stayed there! We checked in late at night, but had called twice... more

We stayed at the Alister Square Inn for only 2 nights. We had planned to stay for 5 nights, but after 2 we just couldn't take it anymore. The room was pretty dirty to begin with, and they didn't clean it for us either day. When we called to ask to have it cleaned after we got back in, they... more

My wife and I spent a weekend at the Alister Square Inn in Port Aransas, and it was the absolute worst experience we have ever had, at any business. Apparently, they are having problems with "unauthorized" people getting into their hotel rooms. We know this because on Saturday morning, the managers were pounding on our door, shouting for us to... more

This property is VERY TIRED and has non-caring, incompetent management. Rooms are NOT CLEAN. Get this...If you lock the deadbolt from the outside when leaving for the day, the cleaning crew is instructed not to clean your room because they think the guest is inside! We returned to our room later in the day and saw that it had not... more

My husband and I had ajoining rooms with 3 other persons. We were booked at the Port Royal and found other of our friend were staying here so we changed to be with them - they cancelled at the last min. so we were stuck out at the Alister. (Not on the beach but on the strip). I thought I... more

This may not be a brand new chain hotel but that's exactly why you should consider staying here. It's an excellent location right in the middle of everything in Port A. The rates are reasonable, the staff is very friendly and the rooms are clean and well functioning. A/C worked fine and was not noisy. The shower had good pressure... more
