Very Nice Place to Stay
Very nice place to stay if you are catching a cruise from the port of Galveston. Please note this motel is not near the cruise terminal and is about a five minute drive by car to the terminal. (It may be on Harborside Drive but is not near the harbor) The management allowed us to leave our car in the parking lot of the motel for the duration of our 1 week cruise at no charge. (Parking lot is lit very brightly and has security cameras) We felt very comfortable leaving our car at the motel! Staff was very friendly but did have some difficulty in giving us easy to understand directions to location on a very foggy Galveston night.

It was alright but service bad
We wanted to stay on that Saturday they gave a quote over the phone of $89.00 but changed it to $129.00. Then on last day the General Manager calls at the last minute as we where leaving and told us we could stay for the $89.00 something. We were already packed and almost out the door and had already told every one that we were coming home. They should have been more prompt about that. Bed was very hard and not very comfortable had trouble sleeping on it. Do not intend to stay there again.

Really awful!
WE were there for one night prior to cruising. It is by far the filthiest hotel we have ever stayed in. There was even blood stain on the bedspread. I am very disappointed and am shocked, especially as the rooms were well over $100.00 a night. [...] Gary and Sharon Smith
