The Scottish Inns and Suites in Kemah is a conveniently located hotel with a friendly and helpful manager, but some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and noise. The hotel is close to the Kemah Boardwalk and Johnson Space Center-Houston, making it a popular choice for tourists. However, some guests have complained about small beds, dirty sheets, thin walls, and cable issues. Additionally, parking is limited and some guests have reported a weird smell in the room and broken fixtures in the bathroom.

    The property was clean. The room was clean the phone did not work. The front desk could not hear us on the other line. The iron did not work. I called front desk to get another one. the phone wasn’t working and the coffee pot did not work. The motel was close to everything. It was very convenient to the aquarium to the festivities and restaurants . In a great location.

    The property is not well kept and the parking is terrible. The rooms are large but the doors do not seal properly which allows moisture into the room. The mattress was uncomfortable and bathroom was very small.

    I had a great stay here with my kids. The location was excellent, it’s within walking distance of Kemah Boardwalk, and having a gas station right across the street was very convenient. The A/C worked perfectly, which made the room comfortable, especially after spending time outside in the Texas heat. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here again. Honestly, I didn’t have any complaints about my stay. Everything met my expectations, and I had a great experience.

    The room was clean. The staff was very nice. The only thing that I would suggest needs to be updated is the blankets. They are pretty thin. I’m glad I got two beds because during the night I got cold and took the blanket off the other bed and put it on top of me. Other than that, I would stay here again.

When I rang doorbell man who came to door seemed bothered spoke through a thick glass and I couldn’t hear him because of traffic noise outside. Hotel sits right off highway.

    The check in process was good. The room itself looked to be in good condition and looked pretty new inside. The air conditioner worked fine, just bit loud. The tv didn't actually seem to work and was not able to change the channel. I thought I would be able to leave the tv on for background noise. That was not possible. The traffic and the noise was quite loud inside the room though. Old hotel so expect that. It has a GREAT location near Kemah. THAT IS THE PLUS SIDE FOR THIS HOTEL. Although, if I had known the Marriott that looks two blocks away was really just like 500 ft away, I would of stayed there and probably got a better nights sleep.

    I live in Seabrook and we have no power after hurricane Beryl. This was the only place available. They are price gounging and taking advantage of a terrible situation. It shows $150 a night but each morning they change it to $296 a night. Supposedly no pets are allowed but the person next to me had 2 dogs that barked all night thru the paper thin walls and the TV didnt work. This place is a disgrace. They had an AC tho which is what i needed after 4 days of heat.

    The Scottish Inns and Suites in Kemah was the perfect place to stay the night before our all-day adventure at Johnson Space Center-Houston. The drive from the hotel to the Space Center is less than 15 minutes, so you will be able to arrive on time for your timed entrance. We parked our car for free in their lot, then we spent the evening by strolling down Kemah's boardwalk. The manager on duty was SUPER helpful with suggestions for dinner and breakfast. Our room was clean...no nasty hotel carpet...and we had a pretty view of the harbor. The next day while we were at NASA, the manager called to say that I'd forgotten my favorite pillow in our room. We were able to backtrack after our day at NASA to retrieve it. I'm grateful for her kindness. Five stars to this property and their management!

    The Cable kept going out. Several times it would flicker off and then back on again after about 10 seconds. A few times it went out completely for at least ten minutes which made the entertainment in the room very irritating. The parking was extremely limited. I didnt count but I would guess they had no more than 15 parking spaces in a cramped area. The room seemed clean but the bed covers were slightly stained and so were the towels. Other than that everything was very clean. There were no lamps in the room, only overhead bright lights. Overall I was a little disappointed, especially for the price I paid. But Im guessing, since its close to the Kemah Boardwalk, they are able to charge people more because of the location.
