Clean and updated room with a refrigerator. A short drive to Seawall Drive and Target. The plugs on the nightstands and the WiFi didn’t work so it’s not ideal for a business traveler but it worked for me.

There was nobody at the front desk at 8pm. We waited about 10 minutes to get help checking in.

The stairs are scary. Broken.

The room was noisy. The floor was dirty. We paid for a King room, but it had a Queen bed. No blow dryer. No iron. 1 tiny bar of soap. AC ran nonstop and it never got very cool.

Overpriced for what you get. Splurge the extra $40 and stay at Holiday Inn next door.

Next time I will read the reviews and not go by the pictures. This property is terrible price was high to what I experienced. The air conditioner was dirty and smell bad when it was on, there were flying bugs all over the room, the television was connected with another guest phone and to top it off the bed sheets were stained(good thing I took my own for my kids). I will never stay at this property again.

Good stay. Room was clean. The outside could use a little clean up. Only concern about the room was that one of the beds was pushed up against the air conditioner. That could cause the air conditioner to burn up in the future. I just pulled the bed out a little away from it. Staff was great at check in.

I stayed the night before my cruise to leave my car there during the cruise and came back and had three nights booked when I got back I was told I was banned and could not stay they said I had cussed at the desk on the 19th before I went on my cruise that was a lie nothing happened I had drove 11 hours I checked in I went to bed I got up and called an Uber went on the cruise there was no incident evidently they got me mixed up with somebody that cost an incident but I was banned so I had to find another motel for the three nights that I was staying to go deep sea fishing they could have told me that morning or that day that it happened that I was going to be banned instead of make me wait till 3:00 check in time and then walk in and then tell me I can't stay there I'm banned especially when I didn't even do anything someone got me mixed up with somebody but I couldn't explain that to them and I stay there every time I go I cruise every 3 months

First, we couldn't check-in until well after 9:00 due to a power outage. Which, I understand that, but we wer not notified until we got there and there was no discount offered for the inconvenience! There was some strange looking stuff on the walls that looked like worms. It was not great!! The only good part is they offered free cruise parking!! I would not stay there again!!

I booked this Motel 6 hoping for a decent stay at a reasonable price, but it was a huge disappointment. While the staff was friendly, the condition of the property was unacceptable.

The motel is very run down. They have tried to make a few upgrades, but the rooms still have metal bed frames, the phone did not work, and worst of all, there was blood on both the sheets and the blanket. We immediately requested clean bedding, but it took nearly two hours to receive it, and it did not arrive until around 10:15 p.m. After a long day of traveling, this was the last thing we expected. The room also did not include basic amenities like soap or shampoo. Instead, those items were only available for purchase from a vending machine.

The location is also a major drawback. It is well off the beaten path, and an Uber to the beach cost about $15 each way. Walking is not advisable because there is very little sidewalk for the first mile, and the area under the overpass was dirty and sketchy.

The only reason I can see staying here is if you need inexpensive long term cruise parking. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend spending a little more for a cleaner, better maintained hotel in a safer and more convenient location.

After staying in this motel, I will never believe another review on here again. As you can see the reviews were not awful. This room, however was!!! If your ok with a moldy, dirty room with questionable stains on the bedding then you will be fine!

The shower had hair on the walls, and a boogers on the floor. The wall behind the end stand had black stuff running down it. The trash can by the sink had what looked liked chew spit all around it!

If your a drug user, then you will be set as the court yard area reeked of weed and Im pretty sure I witnessed a drug deal. Its OK though because they dont allow guns lol.

I get this is a cheap Motel, but basic cleanliness shouldn't be a sacrifice for cost. We booked the room for 2 nights, but we only stayed one night. Never again. We left with good memories of Galveston, I just hope we didnt leave with bed bugs or something else.

Our room was not ready until almost 5:00 pm. When we finally got in the room, the floors were all wet from being mopped. The shower had quite a bit of black mold in the corners. There was a ball of hair clinging to the walls of the shower. We did not take a shower. It was disgusting! The room had a bad smell. There was something that looked like poop smeared on the wall beside the toilet. The air conditioner worked well and the sheets were clean. The coffee that was available at the office was good. The were no amenities besides bar soap. We had stayed at this Motel 6 several years ago and had a good experience. You can usually count on Motel 6 to have clean rooms. We were so disappointed. The lady that checked us in was friendly. The woman in the office the next morning was friendly. Their housekeepers need to take extra time and clean better!

They were making a lot of repairs to the rooms. So there were a lot of workers around during the day.
They put us in a room with no fridge or microwave. We requested to be moved to a room that had them. They moved us the next day as promised. And didn’t charge us anymore for the move.
One staff member was a little odd. The pool was locked. I asked her why. She said because nobody wanted to swim. I told her how does she know that. The hours on the pool is 9 to 9. The pool should open on the posted hours. After that they was open every day.

I asked the cleaning staff that was outside our room about the shampoo and she stated \" yeah we don't do that you need ur own we only give you a small bar of soap\" I stated that is weird since ever other hotel I've ever been to has shampoo. then the cleaning lady said yeah we we don't. worst hotel experience ever. we actually didn't even stay the night we ended up leaving and going to a different hotel. I would never book this place again it had very ghetto vibe to it the kind of place you would take a cheap hooker.
