The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. I loved the fact that they provide you with a broom to eliminate sand or dirt brought in after fishing. Staff is very nice and accomodating. Would stay again when I go back to Texas to fish!
This place is awesome...folks are great and extremely accommodating. It is definitely a fisherman's motel(no silly WIFI nor powdered-egg breakfast)...good air-conditioning, clean rooms, good water-pressure in the showers, great parking, great location. The folks also keep a pulse on what's biting... they put up with wayward fishermen and our ridiculous demands. 5-stars!
We’ve stayed at the Fisherman’s Hotel in Matagorda several times, and it’s always our go-to when I’m in the area. The location truly can’t be beat—close to the beach and ideal for bar hopping, fishing, or boating trips with dedicated parking directly in front of your door. The rooms are consistently clean and comfortable, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. It’s a relaxed hotel that fits Matagorda perfectly, and that consistency is why we keep coming back. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Matagorda, I highly recommend it.
The couple that owns this place are so sweet and nice. I was traveling alone and was super exhausted. They let me check in early and the room was so comfortable. Nice hot shower, a cold ac, and a nap. Then back out again to the beach. Love this place and I will always stay here!! Very safe and very comfortable!!
I Stay here every time I’m in Matagorda. Clean linens and shower felt amazing after fishing all day They have rooms with 2 twins and a queen bed so all my friends could stay, and a great nightly rate Very Friendly staff when I checked in. No complaints whatsoever The other reviews on google with complaints are most likely bogus and one sided. It’s a motel not a resort!
We have been staying at this motel for years. The owners are very nice and accommodating. We typically get into town very early in the morning (2-3am) and they've always had a key waiting for us and allow us to do our check in later during business hours. It's a great fisherman's motel in a convenient spot. Room prices range from $70-85/night which has gone up a bit but is still a fantastic price compared to other places and is definitely well worth it. The rooms are roomy and all have a flat screen, coffee pot, and a small fridge or full sized fridge. Some rooms have a microwave and small table inside as well. The beds aren't incredibly comfortable but after a long day of fishing I've never had a problem passing out at night. I do bring my own pillows as another reviewer said, their pillows are thin and I prefer fluffy. Rooms have always been completely clean and spotless. I have never had a problem with noise or other guests staying at the motel, everyone has always been very courteous. This motel can't be beat!!
Love this motel! We always stay here when we come to Matagorda. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, A/C works great, and it’s in the perfect location; walking distance to restaurants and bars! The owners and staff are super friendly and we can also bring our little dogs. Overall I highly recommend this motel in Matagorda!
Family run. No frills but also - no issues! Beds were comfortable. Cleaned everyday. We were so close to our fishing charter, it was perfect! Roll out of bed to a walk to the dock. Will come back!
