This is ghetto lol but for the price I should not complain. Hehehe The air conditioner was busted, beds felt went because of humidity. Flors literally wet. On my third day there was an incident police and everything. I believe someone broke a car window and stole items. I don’t know. The front desk staff won’t look you in the eyes when you stand there for assitance. The cleaning crew was nice tho and again for the price… yeah. For what I paid it was nice 😅

My room was very clean. The A/C was super freezing. I could not beleive it could get that cold. Had to turn it up because I couldn't feel my nose. The halls we always vaccuumed, but the baseboards were missed so there was a layer of dirt on them.
The breakfast was good enough to not have to stop somewhere else. I don't eat eggs, which was the hot served. I loved making my own waffles every morning. That lady working breakfast is busy keeping things well stocked. (make sure to give her a tip!)
The location was awesome. I was right across the street to the beach which saves money not having to park on the Seawall. I also enjoyed that my vehicle was in the garage so that when I got inside it, the car was not scalding. If you are looking for fancy, this ain't it, but if you are looking for clean and affordable, this is your place.

We stayed in a 2 room suite (family room). The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Facility was clean. Elevator was a little scary at times. This place is under going renovation so keeping that in mind if you choose to stay here. Easy access to the beach, and fishing pier. Plenty of parking, only complaint is that they had remodeling materials in the handicap parking places. Would definitely stay again!

The AC worked good but that’s about the only positive thing I can say about this stay. The rooms and common areas were not well maintained, we couldn’t even open the door to our room all the way because the floor was uneven. The entire hallway on the first floor reeked of weed and my young kids were asking what the smell was. The whole place had a grungy feel to it and we couldn’t wait to get out there after just one night.

I feel like I was catfished. From the photos, the property looks great. Our family suite was spacious, but the reality is that, with the exception of the bedding, our room was dirty. The whole place stank. The room had numerous maintenance issues that could have been fixed in short order with a little effort and pride. The microwave was filthy. Front desk staff was sullen at best. The lack of maintenance and customer service is just not my cup of tea. Do not recommend.

The property was clean and free of bugs. It did have a “wet” smell to it. The breakfast was great. The overall condition of the hotel was old. Our room had white powder, looking like plaster dust, all over the floor. The paint had several chips throughout. The beds were soft. The pool was small and over crowded with guests. It was the 4th of July weekend and I am sure everywhere was packed. The property strictly said no dogs but the guest next to us had 2 dogs that barked all night. The walls were thin and you could hear everything.

The check-in process took forever. We showed up at 3:30 PM and they told us the room would be ready in 15 minutes. There were several other people who showed up after us that were checked in before us. The cleaning crew was still cleaning rooms between 4 and 5 PM, blocking the hallway with their large cleaning carts. The lobby was very crowded and there were lots of moving parts happening all at once. There was no water or coffee in the lobby, as there had been when I stayed previously. The front desk staff was nice but did not seem to be communicating with each other very well. They did, however, read my notes in the system regarding a request for a first floor room near an exit since I had a service dog and honor that request. They explained that they always have the floor manager doublecheck each room individually before allowing guests to check in, which was why it took so long for check in.
-Once we checked in, the room was clean, had an ocean view, and had decent air conditioner. Toiletries were provided on the wall of the shower, which I love.
-The pool and hot tub were right on the beach, and it was nice to relax in the hot tub while we were waiting for our room to be ready. Beautiful ocean view with the 4th of July kites right next door to the hotel. Beautiful kite store as well. Easy walk to the Pier, with several fishing/viewing/patio options nearby.

The pool had teenage kids not supervised, even though the sign read no kids under 14 without an adult. The continental breakfast not good at all. The only good thing ac worked very well. NEVER AGAIN

We notified the front desk and nothing was done to clean it up. The pool area also wasn't very clean and many people with coolers when the property has signs prohibiting this. Also checkout is Eleven am but breakfast ends at 9. Ten am would make more sense.I've stayed here a few years ago many times but I feel like new owners have less concern for their guests comfort.

Upon arrival the front desk staff was welcoming and friendly. Overall the property and the room was clean but it definitely is an older property with signs of it being an older property. It did appear that they attempted to do some renovations or update some of the things like the furniture, the flooring, etc. After the first night, while we were out, and the house keeper cleaned there was a spot of blood on the sheet. When I informed the front desk and asked for the blanket to be replaced, he handed me a new sheet, but was not apologetic or anything about the issue. Wow the water pressure in my parents room was great. The water pressure in our room was not great and it was difficult to wash my hair after a day at the beach. Although for the cost in the location, it was a decent choice, I would not stay here again.

You get what you pay for with this property. It's just a place to sleep and not much else. The staff wasn't super helpful with questions. The hotel has a run down feel about it. There is mold on the walls, etc.
The good thing about it is that it's across the street from the ocean. There are only a couple of restaurants near by and one of them closed super early. It's kind of far from anything else. If location matters to you, then this is not the place to stay.

I honestly don’t understand how this hotel has such high ratings on Expedia because this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had.

From the moment we checked in, the staff was unfriendly and seemed more interested in their phones than helping guests. When we entered our room, there was a stale odor, but we were eager to enjoy the beach, so we left without thinking much of it.

When we returned later that evening, my husband noticed paint and sheetrock falling from the bathroom ceiling. As a property manager, I immediately recognized the signs of a water leak and found what appeared to be mold on the ceiling. We reported it to the front desk, but there was little concern or urgency. Instead of apologizing, we were told we had to remove all of our belongings from the room before they would issue us a new room key.

The problems didn’t stop there. Throughout our stay, there were repeated power outages, and the hallways were filled with children and adults yelling and running around late into the night, making it nearly impossible to relax or sleep.

The room condition, poor customer service, and overall lack of concern for guests made this a very disappointing stay. I cannot recommend this hotel and would not choose to stay here again.

The saying “pictures lie” rings so true for this place. The front desk girl wasn’t pleasant when checking us in. Gave us a room with 2 non-working TVs, a sink that also didn’t put out water. Had to tell her just so they don’t charge me for something being “broken”, and all she said was “ok”. No offer of another room, no apology, nothing. Only needed to stay for one night so it was whatever. But hospitality was nonexistent, to say the least. Then, one of the bed had a little throw at the bottom of the bed with a blood smear on it. And then the “breakfast”. Only options were, make your own waffle, fake eggs, bananas, apples, some pastry and bagels, and milk and cereal. Come hungry, leave hungry. Not sure why there are any good reviews. I sure didn’t see or experience any good qualities. Will not consider them again when coming to Galveston.

We were supposed to go to Port Aransas with family but because of inclement weather. The family vacation got canceled. Since I could not forfeit my vacation and change dates. so we chose the hotel that we could get on such short notice. Hotel pretty ran down, but directly across from the beach and close to souvenir shops. The wife and I am much rather have stayed at the Holiday Inn given proper notice/planning of the trip. Not to mention, our room keys would not open the door. It would either blink, red or not blink at all. You had to try like 5-6 times just to get the door open. Poorly maintained property.
