It was clean. No odors. Kind owners. It was our second stay; will return.

We had a very nice stay at the Gulfway motel. This is the only hotel on High Island and was convenient to do local birding. It’s the closest place to stay near Anahuac wildlife refuge. It also has a restaurant with a nice choice of food. When the restaurant is not open, there is a gas station next door with a mini market to pick up snacks. The tv did have some reception problems which eventually worked itself out. The towels at this motel are very soft. The bed is firm but comfortable. Noise from adjoining rooms can be heard but ear plugs drowned out those sounds.

Good food and helpful owners.

This place was good for the price. Had a easy time checking in/out. Staff is friendly and easy to talk to! Clean on the inside of the rooms as well. Plus a TV and Wi-fi. Don’t leave your netflix logged in!! Will definitely stay again!

Family owned motel, very nice friendly and helpful. I like the property is gated and secure at night.

We chose this motel because it is the closest to the Gulf on the High Island end of Bolivar Peninsula. The outside area of the motel was a little weathered with it being so close to the ocean. But, the inside of our room was great! The bed was comfortable, with clean sheets and bed linens. The air conditioner cooled the room quickly, and kept it cold for our entire stay. The refrigerator/freezer was larger than I expected and it worked great! I loved the original mid century modern blue tile in the bathroom! The shower/tub had great water pressure and the water got hot and stayed hot for my entire shower. The motel provided plenty of clean towels for us. The towels were monogrammed with the motel's logo, which I thought was a nice touch. I had no complaints with our 3 night stay in June 2023. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

T V did not work. May have been the internet. T V did not work. Restaurant not open on Monday. Any Monday. No where to get food. Well one could do 20 miles or so in any direction. We ate in the restaurant on Tuesday. Pretty good. Live and learn. Will NOT stay at Gulfway again.

Excellent staff, good food, the only problem was bedbugs in one bed

Gulfway Motel is clean and affordable. The family who owns and runs the motel is friendly, efficient and helpful. I was in town for birding, and the owners were very knowledgeable about the local sanctuaries and bird populations. There isn't much else nearby, so dining (beyond the motel breakfast, which I left to early to try) is a 20 minute drive or more. The property does not look good from the outside, but is nonetheless a fine choice for a bargain stay.

They have great big clean rooms. Owners are wonderful people. The Chef in the restaurant attached to Hotel make the best food .His chow mein is fabulous and the pizza is great.

I will be back. Wife and I loved it here. Owners are very nice and helpful. Awesome for an older hotel.

Friendly staff very clean comfortable beds and pillows. Ac worked

CLEAN updated rooms with comfortable beds, lots of updated electrical/USB outlets, and new linens/towels. Our room lacked a bath mat and the AC unit was loud. This is a nonsmoking property. Love the small fridges that have a separate freezer — no food in the fridge got frozen and our blue ice froze solid. Each room has a microwave. BIRDERS — this is THE place to stay for an early start at High Island hot spots. In spring 2023, barn swallows nested near the entrance to the lobby — very cool.

Location great for birding, had to request coffee maker, no ice machine

Reasonable rates; not fancy but clean and comfortable. Really appreciated the refrigerator and microwave. Pets allowed for a minimal fee and there's a nice fenced in green space for walking them. Just wish there was a coffee station; we had to drive 20 miles for a cup of morning coffee!

The managers of the property at Gulfway were friendly and helpful. The motel is older but clean and a great location for bird watching and beach walking. Food was excellent!

I was under the impression that I had paid for my stay via Expedia but was told on check-in that wasn't the case and made to pay (again?) then plus was charged more than my reservation stated. Also, the cockroach greeting was quite unpleasant! It was on the ceiling as we entered the room! Gross!!

None

This is an older motel and some might drive by it without consideration, but the rooms are very clean, beds comfortable, and staff super friendly. I will definitely stay here again.

Both of the rooms I booked including our two other rooms that our family had all together we had a total of four Rooms They Were Dirty and our tv didn’t work in one of them also the pool wasn’t too good and the front desk didn’t want to give ice no phones in neither room what if if someone had an emergency and didn’t have their own phone they wouldn’t be safe or just totally ( Sol ) and In being considerate for others the towels weren’t white they were dingy water bugs and Mosquito’s really got us terrible spider’s ect

Clean rooms comfortable beds.

For the price it was a great place near the beach and away from the crowds. It is older but is being kept up.

Comfortable bed.Soft towels. Great A/C.Nice Owners. Close to beach and Bird Sanctuary. Good food at the motel restaurant. No coffee in room( I brought my own pot). Free breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Bacon,eggs and hash brown. Overall,, enjoyed ourcstsy

The motel is old and the property is cluttered, bordering on trashy. Clean up around the office and store your items/equipment in a proper place out of sight. If it weren’t for the very clean rooms, I would have thought that it was a pros motel or a good place for druggies. No way I would ever eat in the restaurant.

Room was good. Toilet stopped up, but they fixed it. And turned off our ac, so it was an oven when we returned. Disappointed in breakfast. Free if you eat there, wanted to charge 10.99 to take to your room. I will not go back because of that.

I have stayed at this motel since I was a child. It was always a safe, clean place to stay within a mile from the beach, and it continues to be convenient and satisfactory. The staff we encountered were friendly and accommodating and the room was clean. We will definitely continue to stay here, hopefully for years to come.

We did not stay long in our room but everyone we met was very nice. I also left an item and they're mailing it back to me

Staff was excellent, great location to the beach, not luxurious but perfect for what we needed.

Owner kept the $50 deposit for the room.

Staff is always friendly & accomodating. We stay here whenever we go to the coast & are very happy with it.

its clean and they are working on the outside!
