We stayed there before a cruise vacation. The cool thing was that we were able to leave our car at the hotel for a whole week. So we did not have to pay at the pier for parking, which would be about $80. The pool is big and inviting. The harbor is right ahead that you can actually see from... More

I booked this hotel and paid a premium price for a one night stay. I was very disappointed with the room. The air conditioner and small refrigerator were very loud, the bathroom fan was so loud you could not hear someone talk standing next to you. The paint was pealing off the celling. When you turned on the water it... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times. I read some reviews the first time I was looking for a hotel in Galveston and there were a few negative ones about this facility, but I'm glad I didn't listen to those. The rooms are clean, not a lot of frills, but you have all the necessities. It's close to the... More

After reading the reviews, I booked this hotel based on comments about the excellent customer service by Sam & his family. We stayed one night during spring break,before leaving the next day for a Princess cruise. While the hotel is a little older, it was clean, well maintained, and quiet. My husband checked us in and was so impressed with... More

Owners are doing the minimum to have this hotel open. Problem is it really should be closed. He seemed nice, but the hotel was dirty and everything about it was bad.
