We booked a standard room with a balcony. Although it had an ocean view, there was a large dumpster on that side of the hotel. The smell from the dumpster made it unbearable to be on the balcony. Also, the dumpster truck comes around 7:30am and then again around 9:30am with continuous beeping noise (approx. 10 minutes) both times. Also, it is true - the rooms have a faint unpleasant smell like cat pee that comes from the air conditioning units.

Check in 😠

Attempted to check in and was asked “Did we text you to tell you your room was ready?” Ahh no just trying to check in? They took my cellphone# and told me they would text. A hour later they took the names of all the people sitting in the lobby (cuz our cars had filled up the front parking area) to get us checked in. Thank goodness we didn’t leave the lobby earlier! Not a great way to start our mini vacation.

I’ve stayed at this property SEVERAL times, with no issues, but this time, CLEARLY, a sewage pipe or something related to sewage, had burst. Instead of the front desk doing ANYTHING to get me away from this uninhabitable smell, ROBERT, at the front desk, lied to the Expedia customer service representative, and said that he didn’t think the smell was that bad, and that he’d had no other complaints. LIES! My sister overheard someone complaining to him about the smell as she was checking in. I was on the 5th floor, and that was where the smell was concentrated. The rest of my family, 10 people total, were on the 6th floor (slightly smelly), and the 4th floor (no smell). My husband, daughter, and myself spent the entire weekend in this port-a-potty smelling room and hallway with no attempts from ANY of the staff to move us to a suitable space. I also paid for a beach view room, but my view was a dirty, abandoned parking lot. I’m STILL highly irritated at having to pay so much money for such a horrible experience.

Unfortunately, the hotel was not able to help us with airport transportation early in the morning. We were unable to flag an Uber or Lyft and the hotel staff tried to help us with taxi services that were not interested in the driving my family and I at that time. The hotel needs to be better equipped to help guests with travel itineraries, especially on days that there are no cruises departing. We had decided to extend our stay to explore Galveston after our cruise and regretted it tremendously.
