“Great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Really a great place as Holiday Inns go. Contemporary styling with clean lines and comfortable rooms. Excellent location within easy walking distance of the boardwalk and resturants. We did not eat in the hotel resturant, but did take advantage of the bar. Special recognition to Sebastian who makes fantastic margaritas! Service was excellent and hotel staff very accommodating. I recommend... More

“Room and hotel is okay.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

Horrible service in the restaurant and bar. Internet is the worse I've seen. It's so bad I'm posting this on my phone. The hotel itself is fine. If they fix the Internet and get a real bar tender, I'd come back.

“Exceptional”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2013

Very new, very stylish Holiday Inn in a good location. While most Holiday Inns opt for the more timeless conservative styling, this place attempts to take more risks and be more trendy. It's newly built and looks great by 2013 standards, but it will be interesting to see how the neon blue sinks in the bathroom stand the test of... More

“Convenient place to stay, restaurant not so much”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

This HI is still fairly new. Located near the Kemah Boardwalk area, there are enough good restaurants in walking distance to keep one well fed. Plenty of small shops, etc. to keep interest level up while taking a stroll. Getting out onto the hwy in the AM was a bit challenging, until I learned to go down a couple of... More

The rooms were outstanding and spacious. We rented two rooms. A hancicapped room for my dad and a two Queen bed room for myself and my husband, and my son and his wife. There is a nice bar area in the room with a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Although the coffee maker didn't work right in my dad's... More

“Very nice hotel 5 minutes from the Kemah Boardwalk”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2013

We stayed in Kemah two nights during Spring Break. Originally we tried to book the Boardwalk Inn but they nearly doubled their rates during this time so we stayed at the nearby Holiday Inn and am really glad we did. They had a reasonable rate and was still only a 5-10 minute walk to the Kemah Boardwalk and all the... More

“Great place for a quick getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2013

Nice, clean, roomy, modern rooms. Great helpful staff, no complaints. Very close to boardwalk, can walk if you prefer. Only used room, did not go to on site restaurant or other amenities. Gota great rate, so it was definitely worth it!

Arrived on business for a conference, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself looks new and is very clean. The rooms were relatively large with flat screen tv, cable and free wifi.
