The entire hotel smelled like mildew. It was a very strong scent. No towels were in the room upon arrival. Wifi did not work the entire stay. Also be aware the building itself is old and a little run down. The room did have newer furniture and was a spacious room. Also enjoyed the balcony view of the ocean. Parking was easy.

Bed Bugs beware

On July 31st through August 3rd my family and I went to visit Galveston like we do every year. We’ve stayed at holiday inn hotels in the past and have never had any issues. During our stay I kept noticing random bites in my body. I thought maybe mosquitos at first glance but the bites got bigger and had several patterns. On the day I was getting ready to check out I noticed a bed bug on my pillow! I called front desk and informed them about this and they send a maintenance worker to confirm this. As I spoke to the front desk receptionist and after she discussed with management I was promised a full refund for my stay and the because of this issue. I spoke with customer service and till this day have not heard back since. It feels like they just brushed this off like it was no big deal and here I was with several bites on my body for weeks! Shame on holiday inn for not responding and I hope that this does not happen to anyone else. I’m sure that if this happened to themselves or their loved ones while trying to vacation it will ruin their trip like it did mine! Here are pictures of that day.
