Disappointed that the pool hours were listed 10am - 10pm and when I asked for them to open the front desk lady said it opens at 2pm. However, a cleaning guy saw my kids and I and asked if we were going to the pool. I told him what the front desk said and he said it opened at 11am and although it was 10:45am he open for us. Also disappointing was the continental breakfast that consisted of chocolate chip small muffins and coffee.

This was a great stay right on the seawall. This is a great place to stay after a day of beach fun and exploring Galveston. Didn’t come here to sit in a room all day!! Price point is spot on!

Good Bargain
Clerk wasn’t welcoming but room was clean and well redone although it needed outside paint. Across from beach and convenient to restaurants. Meager breakfast but good coffee. Nice small pool out front but an outside shower would cut down on sand in pool and rooms. AC was good. Bargain for the price.

Fine for a last min stay. We came for the beach not the room. Price point and location made this appealing.

I absolutely loved the location and the rate. It was very clean except for the floors. But it is across the street from the seawall and it was Sandy. Will continue to be my go-to from now on when I go to Galveston
