If you want luxury, don't stay here. This hotel is old and out-dated, but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the employees were friendly and very accommodating. The pool area has just been redone and is a great addition. The location on the strip is perfect. We walked to restaurants, shopping and Pleasure Pier. Be sure to... More

The negative, snobby reviews this hotel have received are quite humorous . It is quite apparent this place is not the lap of luxury and anyone who books this hotel would be able to figure this out, so the "it is not what I thought it would be and want my money back" reviews are laughable. What this hotel is:... More

Some friends and I decided to take a spur of the moment motorcycle trip to Galveston, TX. After calling around, checking Hotel.com, Expedia etc.. it was becoming apparent we were not going to get a room. Commodore came up on the sights but we needed 2 rooms or acommodations for 5 adults. I called Commodore directly and spoke to Nancy... More

This was our second stay at the Commodore, or "The Commode" as we call it. Why do we stay here? It's part of our pay for a festival we attend. So we don't pay for the room. For that reason, we stay here. We would never pay for the place. Good things - the beds have been comfortable on both... More

What a disappointment! For the money you have to pay for these rooms you would expect at least a coffee maker. Maybe even a refrigerator. Not here. You have to go downstairs to the lobby to get some of the worst tasting coffee you've ever had. Overall I can't say anything positive about this place so I'm just going to... More

PROS: decent clean room, beach view balcony, good value, friendly helpful staff. CONS: No coffee maker in room, no microwave and small refrigerator is at extra charge. This is my own fault for not checking website more clearly or asking at check-in. It was a HUGE hassle to get dressed to walk to lobby for coffee. Also breakfast is very... More
