THIS... is NOT the place. We spent a pretty penny to NOT have ocean views and got stuck in an OLD, stinky, dirty, seriously-outdated, might-as-well-be-homeless room. SORELY disappointed. But Galveston was nice. :) Go SEE Galveston--just DON'T STAY HERE.

The staff were all very friendly! Especially the ladies serving the free and delicious breakfast! Nice room with retro looking mini fridge and microwave. Very convenient to great restaurants and of course easy access to the beach. Nearby is a handicap accessible jetty, which people fish off of.

The receptionist was not friendly. The hotel was dated, but I thought that would be okay if clean. We found a live Roach in our hotel room both days. The pool was cloudy and dirty looking. The pool chairs had bugs in them that ate me up. The good thing about the place was breakfast ladies were nice and the food was good.
