Fantastic Holiday get away
Had a great time at the residence Inn in Galveston, Texas. Went for the Christmas holiday. We brought decorations and decorated our room and all of the employees loved seeing what it looked like. Such friendly staff! Breakfast was always great! Amazing view!

I would stay again
The overall experience for my family’s hotel stay was amazing. We enjoyed everything about the room, area and the amenities were great. Now charging for parking is something that should be made known to the guest, and maybe that is Hotel.coms issue because I didn’t read anywhere where I had to pay for parking, none the less it didn’t deter the overall experience of my family’s trip.

Pleasant stay but watch your charges.
The hotel was clean and pleasant. THe rooms were spacious and I loved that. I would have given this hotel a 5 stars for the hotel itself, but after I checked out, I realized that they overcharged me for the room. I did go through hotels.com and the price I was quoted was different from what I was charged. I contacted the hotel and never heard back from them. I will definitely request a receipt next time. Also, there was never anyone at the desk. I had to wait twice for service. It took over 10 minutes for the female to come to the desk so that I could check out. I packed my car and came back in hopes that someone would be at the desk.

Fabulous Stay!
Overall stay was great and the property is walking distance to the beach. I was however surprised that they charge $15 for parking - that's atypical of any Residence Inn we have stayed at outside downtown. Very clean, well maintained & pet friendly!

The room was nice. The t.v. worked on Internet which did not work very well as it kept freezing up.

Nice view, convenient location
Stayed a few nights before our cruise. Everything was amazing! Size, layout, cleanliness. If there was just one thing, it’d be the TV, that seemed to run on internet had several freezing issues that lasted a few seconds to a few minutes. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options. Papas pizza nearby was really good. Appreciated that there is also a Kroger grocery store less than 2 miles away. Having a kitchen helped save money.
