When i checked, is when i found out you had to pay for parking.

It was close to the restaurants, the beach and the Galveston Convention Center. However, I did not like that the doors open to the outside. The price to stay here was not cheap, but It had the feel of a motel as you entered your room. Although, the inside of the room was well kept and the bed was comfortable.

We never had room service for our entire stay, we were out by 8am everyday and arrived back after 3pm everyday. Only one elevator operational the entire time was inconvenient.

I liked the fact everything was right on the property live entertainment,great restaurant,pool and hot tub and across from beach

The staff was excellent, very welcoming and attentive. The in hotel dining was well prepared, a real step above normal chain hotels. and it was very nice to have a gorgeous view of the Gulf right outside the window. Traffic noise is quite loud as Seawall is a main transit route and seashore traffic is always louder than not but I sleep with ear plugs in anyway so it was no problem. And the view makes it totally worth it.

This place is an absolute dump. Not as advertised in pictures at all. There were non-guests hanging out in the parking lot that followed us up to the building. The property manager Svan is dishonest and a cheat. When we decided to stay elsewhere, He told me to contact orbitz for a refund. When Orbitz called, Svan rejected the refund multiple times. Don’t trust Orbitz or Svan if you have a problem upon arrival. Even though we booked through Orbitz again at the Tremont, they still refuse to give any refund, even after canceling the last few days of the stay within the 24 hour full refund period. Beware!

Friendly staff and services. Too much noise from room above and across from our room on the 7th floor.

At check-in I was told they were "upgrading" my room. What they actually did was to take my quiet room away from the noise and construction and give me one directly above it. At 3:00 a.m. crews started right below my room with erecting the finish line gear for a half marathon, at 6:00 a.m. music started blasting away, this continued to well past noon. Thanks for the upgrade!!!

The staff was awful they charged my card more than they said about $176 more. You had to pay for everything coffee was &3.50 for a to go cup I won’t b back

The staff was so polite. The room was clean.

Great Location on the seawall. Great ocean view. Good restaurants close by. Room had some issues. Shower handle is ready to fall off. the microwave turntable is broken. Several ac outlets didn't work. They charged for parking and I must have missed the note of that in the reservation. For the price, it must be for the location and view because the room should have been better maintained.

The staff is always so helpful and friendly. We love the view.

Great pool! Super close to the beach!

Nothing was like it was advertised and had the ax unit dripping on my balcony the entire time where we couldn’t be out there and that’s after having to fight with the staff on the room I paid for and said don’t trust the 3rd party reservation

This is a beach property and as such it is impossible to expect it to be perfect. The site was clean and the bed was comfortable. You can’t beat the location.

The pool and area around the pool are amazing. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Rooms were spacious and each room has its own private balcony, we had a view of the pool and the Gulf. We had breakfast at the on site restaurant, it was good. The front of the hotel is very attractive but the rear needs some work. Overall we were very pleased with this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.

The pool was very nice. The rooms were fine. I think for the price, it could have been nicer.

This property is in disrepair and one of the most dated and dilapidated corridors and rooms I have ever stayed in for any price. But for the $134/night $36/day to park, it was ridiculous and a waste of money. So very disappointed at Holiday Inn for this stay. Never again.
