Tbis place has a certain amount of charm. The owner’s kid was doing homework behind the counter - hard working family. It’s good to support people like this.

Nice place to stay

Gulfway Motel & Restaurant was a very nice place to stay. The outside looked average of a motel that age. However, the room was clean. Lighting was great. The bed was really comfortable. All in all, we will stay there again on our next visit to High Island, Texas on the Bolivar Peninsula.

Mixed review

Its an old hotel and the room was clean, however, you will need bug spray! Mosquitoes will make it impossible to enjoy the pool and roaches are out of control. Owner explained its due to the raining season? Also, air conditioning remote is in mandarin, so good luck getting that to work on your own..great location though, we left after 3 hours, hopefully I'll get my $50 deposit back

8/10 Very good

The exterior could use some tidying up. The rooms are clean. Excellent customer service. The air conditioning kept the room cool day & night. We will stay there again.

Very lower income motel. Nice staff nice pool but room was outdated. Small icebox smelled of rotten food and there was junk laying all over outside. I would stay again in a pinch because I don’t need fancy

Christine, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The AC barely worked, and it was a window unit in the far back of the room the soap and the shampoo are the same. The bed is hard as a rock. The staff don’t even speak English. They tried to add on extra fees and then lied. I would never recommend this place to anybody

GREGORY, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was pleased to be greater by a family owned business. It was a pleasant break from larger resorts while working remotely. The property is being upgraded, but a convenient stay for me and my American boxer.
