I only stayed for one night. I don’t think I will stay there again for when I come in for business- only because they cannot really accommodate late checkouts. I think for leisure that it is a good place to stay for safety and near a lot of nice dining and entertainment options.

Great pre cruise stay (2 nights)

Great pre cruise place to stay. Literally walking distance to the carnival cruise terminal! Plenty of places to eat nearby. Front desk staff was friendly and offered suggestions for places to eat and visit when asked. Saw dolphins on the pier right outside the hotel. Quiet and comfortable for a two night stay. Worth the extra $ for the convenience.

It’s definitely the place you want if you’re cruising. It’s close enough to shops and restaurants! Only complaint is the price you pay you’d think your parking would be included but it’s not. And a hot breakfast would’ve been nice to be offered. They had bagels, cereal, orange juice and coffee.

We stayed at this hotel prior to taking a cruise. It was very nice, clean and within walking distance to the cruise ship terminal. There were restaurants close by. We knew nothing about Galveston and took a chance on this hotel. It was a very good choice! I highly recommend it.
