    Cold ice AC

    Way too loud and no view of the ocean in the room they put me in. But overall a good bargain if you want a clean room. Just luck trying to get some sleep

    I stayed here for one night for a cruise I had the following day I was across the street from Galveston Beach and a short walk down to Bubba Gump Shrimp. Even though it was hot outside the wi d from the beach was really nice. I will definitely be back anytime I have a cruise in Galveston. Staff was polite.

    The first thing I noticed was a flying cockroach in my room, which immediately raised concerns about cleanliness. The room door was extremely difficult to open. I had to repeatedly lift the doorknob up and down just to get inside. I eventually asked maintenance for assistance, and even the maintenance worker had to force the handle several times before it opened. When the door finally gave way, he almost fell into the room because of how stuck it was. The phone in the room also did not work. When I reported the issue to the front desk, I was told I would have to wait for the maintenance person to fix it. Unfortunately, no one ever came, and the problem was never resolved during my stay. The staff was rude and hostile throughout my visit. They repeatedly accused my ESA dog of barking, even though I was in the room for the entire duration of my stay. They also continued to question my paperwork and repeatedly asked, “Are you sure that’s an ESA dog?” Their behavior felt unprofessional and harassing rather than helpful. Another issue was the condition of the room. Whenever I turned off the air conditioner, the floors would become wet from the entrance all the way to the sink area and bathroom, creating a slippery and potentially dangerous hazard. At night, people were running through the property appearing intoxicated and banging on doors, making it difficult to sleep and creating an uncomfortable at

    The air in the room was on full blast and everything in the room was wet. The floors, counter tops, furniture. Woke up the next morning to cockroaches roaming around. Also had to pay another deposit when we checked in. They said we would get it back when we checked out, but in reality it was 5 days. Definitely not worth the $ we spent. Also the pool is a joke it’s about the size of a parking spot. I’m sure it was a last minute decision. Only good thing was waking up to the ocean rt there. Next time I definitely won’t stay in the seawall!

    The room smelled unpleasant, and the refrigerator was leaking. The leak was reported but no room change was provided, instead a towel was placed underneath the refrigerator to absorb the water from the leaking refrigerator. Unfortunately, we put our left over lunch in there and water from the freezer section leaked into the food. As for the floors, after talking with housekeeping, the housekeeper was kind enough to mop the floor and spray the room. This was not a good experience.

    If you're in search of a bargain, this hotel is for you. It is reasonably priced, clean, and in a good location, especially for beach-goers. It is no-frills though, so if you're looking for extra amenities then you should go elsewhere.

    The room appeared poorly maintained and unclean. I found bugs on the bed, the sheets felt damp, the shower appeared stained, and there was visible dirt on the floors. Due to the condition of the room, I did not feel comfortable staying for the full reservation and left earlier than planned. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell far below my expectations for cleanliness, comfort, and quality. Based on my stay, I would not recommend this property.

    Great location. Clean rooms. Ocean views. Strong A/C

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Took several tries to get door open but as we opened it, huge bug going up wall. Killed it because 7 and 10 year old were outside screaming. Nice view. Dont count on breakfast and pool was not available upon our arrival because maintenance man shocked it. Not a problem, once opened, it was an ohhhh my god situation. Too late kids already jumped in to grimy, slimy water with trash floating in water along with clumps of hair and trash on bottom.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Terrible service. Terrible front desk. Not interested in assisting at all. Attitude and unhelpful. Was a loyal customer but now I will never step foot in this establishment again.

    Better than expected

  • Engine customer May 2026

    In all honesty, this is probably the worst hotel I’ve ever seen in my life. My family and I are pretty easy-going. We don’t usually judge too harshly of the places that we stay as long as we’ve got clean beds clean bathrooms we’re good.. this place was completely disgusting. It was dirty, moldy, and everything inside was pretty rusty. There was mildew on the pillows and the walls. The bathroom shower floor was black.
