Room and property were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast wasn’t great, especially the coffee as it was very weak, even on the ‘strong’ setting. It is right next to a train track, but there were only a couple trains so it wasn’t too bad. Overall good stay, especially for the price.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Property was very quiet and clean on the outside. You would think it would be kind of rough considering the area and all the gas stations around it but it was pretty nice and secluded! As a solo traveler I will definitely be back. Also the pricing was amazing.

This is a road side motel located off the service road of 45. Facilities are in need of MAJOR repairs. Floors are filthy in the room, rust on everything metal, holes in the walls, peeling bathtubs.. The air conditioner rattled all night and the train runs directly behind the hotel, so there’s that to listen to early in the mornings. Very disappointed for the price I paid. ($400 for 2 nights) “Breakfast” was cereal and hard gluten in the lobby. Just don’t do it, unless you absolutely have no choice. Disappointing.

Hotel is not as advertised with 24/7 shuttle service. Once we paid our way there it took over an hour to get us into a room because of I outer problems. The woman was very helpful and trying her best but it was almost 4 am and we were exhausted. I spoke with the manager in the morning about our troubles and he stated he could not offer any refunds due to booking with a 3rd party. After almost 1.5 of trying to reach the right person and being hung up several times they offered a credit for$25. I asked for more seeing that didn’t even cover the uber that we got due to their deceptive advertising. They declined any refund and sent me a email with a broken link for a “free” night after I joined some program. No thanks never again!

This hotel stay was absolutely the worst. I didn’t think the hotel would be bad especially since it was next to a truck stop. I got to the hotel and I couldn’t even get to sleep because the people next door had their tv on full blast. I had to call the front desk 3 times to knock on their door, call them and tell them to turn it down. Nothing worked. This was in the middle of the night and I was way too tired to stay up any longer. So the front desk told me I could go into another room and I tried to sleep as best as I could but the fridge was acting up. The door to the hotel room didn’t have a latch on the door so I could only use the lock and I had to put something in front of the door to keep anybody out. I will not come back to this hotel again.

The hotel is old but clean. There are some places that definitely could use some attention (see pictures), but I guess that's how they keep the price of a night low compared with other hotels in the area.

What I didn't like was the \"breakfast\". Why not just say they have \"snacks\"? See the pictures that shows what they advertise versus reality. No oranges, just a few apples. No orange juice, just a gallon of milk in the fridge and a few pieces of bread.

Clean but very dated. Bed had 4 very flat pillows so, basically no pillows. I asked about cruise parking,since the sign says \"Ask us about our cruise parking.\" He said \"Uhh just come down to check out of here, in the morning, and the people who handle it can tell you.\" He had the personality of a porcupine. And zero info. I went down the following morning, and no one was there, and a guy was sleeping next to the ice machine. Lol it was no sleep, no info, no bueno.

Your ad stated free cruise parking, that is not the case. Currently it’s $5.75 per day going up to $10 in January. You need to correct your ad.

The front staff were great! The room was fine, the bathroom needs some attention but the water had good pressure and was hot. The breakfast though minimal it served its purpose. We would stay there again. Also, we were able to keep our car there while we cruised.

Both rooms TV’s had to be reset by staff, so technically the rooms weren’t ready upon my arrival at 4:30 PM. Positive note: rooms were clean and organized with pleasant smell. Staff friendly and informative. Price reasonable compared to other hotels in the area.

The room we received looked nothing like the pictures. The carpet was a dirty green and had white stains all over it. There was blood on the toilet paper roll. The bathtub was dirty, peeling and barely drained. A train went by with its horn at both 4am and 6am
We booked this hotel as there were good reviews for staying for a cruise.
They also took a paper copy of our card and ID due to systems being down. I have a lock on my card.
If we wouldn’t have gotten there at 1am due to a delayed flight I would have 100% changed hotels and will never stay here again .

We atay at this property before every cruise, 4 this year. The staff is always happy to see us and very courteous. The property is just 5-10 minutes from terminal, depending on traffic. They also provide parking during cruise but nnot transport to terminal. We will continue to stay there before our cm future cruises

Great stay worth the money

The only problem we had was the temperature of the water. It was more like taking a shower and baby warm water. It did need some updates, but otherwise it was very comfortable and very very quiet. Will most likely stay there again. It was close to the port where we were cruising

We last minute decided we to go to Galveston for the weekend. HJ staff was friendly. Breakfast is oatmeal, cereal and muffins. The room we clean, HOWEVER, the carpet was not. It was sticky and very...gross. I am sure it is simply time to update. Otherwise, it was an average, affordable stay for a last min trip.

Friendly Staff - Didn't like the environment

The staff is very friendly, and the room was surprisingly spacious. Plus, parking is free. However, there were two major drawbacks: the room reeked of cigarette smoke, and the smell was so overpowering that leaving the door open didn't help. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the train tracks meant we were disrupted by loud trains passing by at least five times a night. It's a good option if you are looking for something cheap and only one night.

Well I checked out on the 27th , was told the incidental fee was refundable but now that I checked out I have not received it yet. That 50.00 was to go back to my mom and I know there was no damage to the room as I know how to take care of things but I need that 50.00 to give back to my mom.igs not right to not be picking up the phone as I am needing that money back and why tell me it's refundable when I checked out and not even giving it back

Pre cruise stay

Did the job for a pre cruise night stay. No frills. Just a room and a parking space. Tv worked and the bathroom was adequate. The motel is dated but upgraded where it counts - the bed and flooring.

The staff were nice but there was hair on our sheets. We requested new sheets and changed them ourselves. The mattresses were very badly stained. The toilet valve was leaking on the floor. They offered to refund us and check out but it was 9pm and we had travelled all day. $81 was pricey for what was offered.

Not worth the price

This hotel was extremely overpriced. We chose this hotel to be near the port terminal for our cruise and honestly, we expected more for a Wyndham hotel. The hotel is completely outdated and in serious need of an upgrade. The “decorative” pillows on the beds were stained as were the towels. Thankfully, we were only there for one night.
