“The Alister Square Inn provides affordable family accommodations a short distance from Port Aransas Beach, and its pet-friendly policy broadens its appeal. I particularly appreciate the year-round heated pool and the complimentary continental breakfast featuring Texas-shaped waffles. With kitchenettes in some rooms and meeting facilities opening onto the veranda and pool area, it strikes a practical balance for both vacationers and business travelers.”

While the staff was generally accommodating and the kitchenettes in the rooms were a nice touch, the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing. The breakfast options were limited and mostly not fresh. On the plus side, the hotel is a budget-friendly option and offers plenty of facilities that cater to families, including a pool that kids seem to love.
