The room looked nice walking in, the location was great the service was fair. Some of the towels were dirty or looked dirty maybe it's just older towels that are more worn out than others. The toilet didn't flush right and there was no remote. After asking for one we were told they didn't have any. Other than that because of it being right down the street from the boardwalk id consider staying again if the towels looked clean.

The property is small and the entrance is not as convenient but it is clean. The rooms were clean, linens were white, soft and looked new and the beds were good. It was a comfortable stay for the value. The ice machine worked. Didnt try the washer/dryer or vending. Didn't try the breakfast either. The only thing I didnt like is the location. Its on the frontage road so its not as easy to get in and out.

Room was decent. Except shower cleanliness… there was hair on the wall… as if someone shaved . Other than that it was a decent room. All appliances and AC worked well. Housekeeping made sure we had towels and trash bags. I liked the location even with the construction (which they moved cones that made it back into a two lane road) I could get around easily. Also the property was clean and quiet. Overall it was a good trip and good for the price and I would stay there again

Booked for one night stay and it was very comfy and clean! Great prices for the King bed room I booked. Service was excellent, front desk receptionist was very polite. Took a star off for the room due to the TV not working at all no matter what we tried which is just a preference of mine to have with an hotel room. Other than that the stay was fine. Not too far from the attractions of Kemah. Would definitely stay again & recommend.

"Hotel Bliss Lives Up to It's Name!" It's nice to know there are still reasonably priced, decent clean, well maintained property hotels around. I was very impressed by front desk staff & charming Managements family. Cleaning staff, " Spot On!" Felt, Safe on this property. No shady characters Right near Kemah City Hall & Police Department. Very close to Kemah Boardwalk. Great Place to stay for a Family on vacation budget or a weary traveler wanting to have " A peaceful night's rest!" Kudos, " Hotel Bliss!" Will be staying again.

The AC works great. Our room was clean. Large flat screen with Direct TV. Fridge and microwave. Did I mention the AC is awesome. We stayed overnight cause our power has been out after hurricane. Happy to stay there $124 w tax, cash only. You picky people will complain about the hard bouncy bed but we slept great in a chilly room heat exhausted after 2 days no power at home. And it's right off highway 146 so there is some street noise.. we had no issues with bathtub not draining. They do accept pets for additional $40. There is no free breakfast as stated on google maps.

This hotel is exactly what the pics describe! Great service, rooms are as described. Nice room in the front to hang out and grab coffee. Location is perfect to the boardwalk and our favorite restaurant Coconut Grove! Cannot beat this price and location if you’re needing to stay in the area. PS: special thanks to the staff who are guarding our daughters special blanket that we left in the room.
