Great Time in Galveston

First time in Galveston. Had such a good time we stayed an extra night. Hotel is in a great location. The beds are comfy but the sheets need to be upgraded. Not the best. The outdoor bar is open until 2am playing lots of music so get a room on the opposite side from the pool. Had great dinners at Fish Tales, Mario's and Brick House

Great deal with Gulf View

We booked this hotel for a quick 3 day get-away and were pleasantly surprised. One big plus is that all the rooms face the Gulf with balconies. Excellent view from our room and looking down to the large lagoon style pool was an added benefit. Check in time was quick and staff attentive and helpful. Service at the swim up bar was a little slow but not bad. we did not eat in the restaurant but did order food from the bar for lunch and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay at this hotel again. Right on the Seawall and close to all attractions. Highly recommend.

Fantastic all the way around!!!

It was a beautiful hotel, great view from our room of the ocean and pool. We relaxed on the beach and pool, went to Moody Gardens and the Ferry. Location was awesome, not as crowded as other places on the beach. Staff was incredible, very helpful except for getting the information binder of local resteraunts but that was fine since the hotel had GREAT food. Will definitely go back soon.

It is worth the short drive to the Ferry or Moody Gardens and then when you are back at the hotel, you are home and comfortable.

Great Overall, devil in little details

The room was great, clean with an awesome view of both the pool and the beach. Half of the rooms have pool view, all of them have beach view. Maid service in the rooms was excellent. Pool was great, swim-up bar, live music in Kokomo's, the tikibar opposite the pool, could be heard from the pool. The pool closed at eight or ten, the bands stopped at ten, the bar was open until midnight. I saw other reviews that complained of noise from the pool and the bands. We could not hear anything unless the balcony door was opened. That coupled with the fact that the bands shut down early, I have no idea what the complaints were for. Go sleep at an old folks home you complaining losers. We have a baby less than 1 y/o. Nothing disturbed his sleep or ours. FOOD: the restaurant was AWESOME. All the food served there was excellent, breakfast buffet included. Room service, however, was nasty. Food was cold and rubbery like it was just microwaved. Also, they have a 100% guarantee to "make it right." We were refunded for our room service, but waited 2 hours for the food/beverage manager. LESSON: go down to restaurant to eat. The beach is overrated. The surf was rough, so having a great pool with bar/restaurant/music was GREAT. Probably the BEST PLACE to stay on the island in this price range. I did notice how beautiful Hotel Galvez and the San Luis Hotel were. Not sure of the amenities at these, but definitely more expensive. Overall, great stay.

Rooms are nice and clean and the staff is very friendly. Wished the safe that was provided in the room was somehow not removable . The oceanview was great !!! Our four year old loved the pool and we loved the swim up bar !! The food from the bar was also great !! Overall a very good experience and a fun family vacation !!

great location, nice pool

This hotel was booked for one night before our cruise. We liked the location, across from the beach. We ate at the little outdoor cafe by the pool. The service there and in the hotel resturant was very very slow. It seems they are understaffed. The room itself was a little on the old side, but it was clean and a great value.

We loved it perfect get away

We went to a wedding. The only thing that puzzled us was that our message light came on in the middle of the night and when I called to see what it was it was a recording from the mgr saying that they hoed our stay was pleasant. we thought that was strange. I ts very quiet and relaxing.

Fantastic family getaway

Went on a Cruise & left Car while we were gone. They have a nice gated lot. People were friendly, It was clean. We did think they had a continental breakfast - This is one thing we look for. Would have given the highest rate had they had that.
