Overall it was a good stay. Lobby and main area was very nice. Friendly staff. Not that it’s an issue, but I didn’t realize it was an actual motel until we got out of the elevator heading to our room. Room was updated nicely. Did see a cockroach in the room and the fan in the bathroom was very loud. Other than that, great stay. Good breakfast with large portions for the right price.

Room could have been cleaner, there were hidden fees that were not disclosed at check in and the water was extremely cold. When I advised staff, they said they turned off the hot water for maintenance but never informed the guests of this information. Staff was not very helpful and full use of amenities and the facility was not available.

We had a great stay at Holiday Inn On The Beach. We did have a few issues one was not the hotels fault it was my cc company, but i think there was miscommunication as i was told that they had refunded my hotel stay when my card declined so i paid for 1 night with a different card and then I would call my cc company the next morning and get it all figured out. I got everything figured out went down to pay and I was told by a different employee that he seen my payment was pending for my whole stay. I will wait and get that part figure out. Our first night the smoke detector decided to start going off when we turned off the lights to go to bed. I will say maintenance was speedy on getting up there to get it fixed. He did have to come 2 times but unfortunately he couldn't fix it so we where able to get a different room on the same floor. Both rooms were clean and very nice. Every employee we spoke to or walked past was very friendly and said hello. The 3rd floor balcony you could see both the pool and the ocean. The pool area was nice and clean. It was a little loud at night, but not enough to keep us up. We do plan to go back to Galveston and we will definitely stay here again.

Unexpected fees were charged. Called the morning of and threatened if we didn’t pay over the phone then our reservation would be cancelled. Multiple phone calls during the day asking when we were arriving, after we paid earlier. The back lot parking doubled with no notice or heads up. Shuttle no longer free, $21 a person with no notice of change either. I’ve stayed multiple times but after this visit, I will not return. Very disappointed as a previous customer.
