Great location
We were cruising, so having the room so close to a cruise port was fantastic. We were able to see the ships coming into port and were close to excellent restuarants and shopping. The room was very comfortable.

Worst Customer Service in Fifteen Years
I stayed here during the offseason after New Years with my two sons. We went to NASA all day and were looking forward to exploring Galveston that night. The room definitely needed cleaning and fresh towels.
It was not serviced all day when we returned.
After an hour of waiting, as and of day approached, I asked the front desk if they could clean the room.
I was told the staff had left already. They had marked the room as “occupied” when it wasn’t. I told him the facts above.
At first he argued as if I was lying and it was clear he didn’t care, wasn’t apologetic, and wasn’t going to do anything to help the situation.
I’d strongly suggest staying elsewhere unless you want to be treated like a nuisance and get a substandard room.

We only stayed 1 night. We always stay here the night before we cruise as it’s a 15 min walk to the ship. Hotel is Vern clean and tidy. Staff is always so friendly and helpful. We came in Christmas night and they even had a list of restaurants open on Christmas Day. Definitely will stay again on our next cruise

Not that great for the price and parking too expen
With booking through here they gave us the cheapest room.. Accessible .. I had to wait till exactly 4:00 pm to come check in only to have to wait because apparently room wasn’t ready.. Why they just didn’t give me another room I have no idea..which I’m all for cheaper but the room had cracks around the window that let cold air seep in. The shower was one you could pull off the sprayer which if you were over 5’0 it was a little awkward. Parking needs to he included in room rate..$15 a night is a bit pricey. Probably not going to be staying here again

Great place to stay will definitely stay again.
We spent one night here while waiting to go on a cruise. The arrival was wonderful. The staff went well above what was necessary. We had to have some items dropped off via Amazon and instacart and they were wonderful and making sure we received them.
The afternoon staff person that's a different story. I have talked to the property about this. But don't let one rotten apple ruin the bunch.
The room was wonderful could use a little touch of paint here or there.
The breakfast was great could have used a little bit more sustainability. But I will say the fruit was phenomenal that they offered.

Enjoyable Stay
Four of us stayed here for two nights to enjoy Christmas scene downtown Galveston and we were very happy we chose this property.
There is no better location than this one. It's a few minutes easy walk to downtown main area (the strand) and there are shops and restaurants all over.
Even though we were close to downtown, it is very quite inside the hotel and that gave us a good night sleep.
The breakfast is continental so don't expect too much. We knew it was continental so we were totally fine with it. It gave us enough energy until lunch!
We definitely would come back here should we visit Galveston again.
