Matagorda Island National Wildlife Refuge and State Natural Area hotel rooms a the Independent

"Staff was very courageous and professional. Breakfast was very good. "

"Unique and well kept and appointed classic hotel. Generous and delicious breakfast included. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets overlooking the bay. Entire family enjoyed the Palm Room restaurant and bar and the friendly service. Areas around hotel and pool filled with palm trees, plants and flowers. Very clean, spacious rooms with high ceilings, comfortable beds and clean pool. Private patio or porch with nice rocking chairs. Feels like a private resort.. especially when staying on the Bayside. Very nice dock for fishing or watching the boats, birds and dolphins. Even saw a few sea turtles. Been here with family three times...will be back."

"I liked the fact that it was a quiet room the bed was very comfortable and staff very friendly will go again "

"Staff was very friendly and breakfast was exceptional. Conveniently located to get to beach and restaurants."

"Our room 211 was clean inside but there was cigarette butts in a bowl on the private porch, a beer can and a bucket of some kind of dead fish. We enjoyed the pool and the fishing pier. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back 😊"

"Staff was great and room was clean. It’s an older motel and on one side where rooms are located you have to park on the opposite side and carry your luggage around or walk around. Depending on how much luggage you have is the only drawback. Also there’s no bathtubs in any of the rooms if you have any little ones."

"Clise to the beach will return"
