This hotel needs some maintenance done. The pool lights do not work and the hot tub jets don’t work. Breakfast is put up and cleaned up before cut off time. The balconies need paint and new chairs. Carpet could use a good cleaning.

Would stay here again!!

The pool was great and the a/c was great. The beds were comfortable and I enjoyed having an ocean view and chairs to sit outside or dry clothes. The bathroom floor tiles were broken and the bottom of the tub was very slippery. The staff was very friendly and tried their best to accommodate our requests. We had to reprogram our keys twice in a 3 day stay. The rooms were spacious and the dove products were nice to have in the bathrooms.The free breakfast breakfast had a nice selection of hot and cold food. The pancake machine wasn’t nearly as exciting as a waffle station and kept malfunctioning. The elevators alternated on being shaky and weird but didn’t go out of service. Parking spots filled up quickly. Being directly across to the beach was a huge plus for our family. Overall I would stay here again and we travel to Galveston often.

Breakfast was always hot and eggs were actually fresh. Room did have a musty smell when first entering, but quickly went away when the AC was on and the door opened(probably hadnt been used recently) We have come to Galveston for many years, and this property is where we will stay going forward.
