This is the worst excuse for a hotel that I’ve ever had the displeasure of staying at. Walking into the room, it smelled so badly of mildew that I almost vomited. It was so humid and wet in that room. It was absolutely disgusting. When we were ready to go to bed, there were hairs and bugs on the bed and it’s clear that the sheets had not been washed. Hair in the tiny little shower that has absolutely zero water pressure. The people there were loud and drunk and obnoxious. We didn’t even end up staying and we would have tried to get our money back, but when we went to the office, nobody was there. The pool was just a bathtub. It was tiny and full of drunks. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time or money.

Horrible front desk clerk on day 3. Door key did not work, she could not figure out computer and on call manager didn’t answer. Never got into the room on night 3. Had to call the police in order to get my personal belongings and no refund, sink didn’t drain but one police showed after my calls and instantly opened our door

When we checked in we had to sign a form saying we couldn’t cancel after 15mins. The reason for that was that if you didn’t keep the room under 62 degrees, after a few minutes started sweating and became quite wet.

The tv didn't work, call the front desk and they went to check it and nothing was fixed. Lots of moisture on the floor that you have to wear shoes in the room We could hear people outside talking as they were smoking by hotel. The coffee and danish were served 6am-9am only

Very nice runs, clean, nice towels and bedding. Full size beds are too small for what we are used to. I assumed the price is for 2 people as that's what is on my itinerary, but I was charged an extra person charge of $10 which I don't agree with. I hope they will make this right. Otherwise, great location and price

Hotel is in a great location. Across from the beach and close to the Strand. It has been remodeled but it's a poor remodel with paint over spray on the tile and baseboards. The beds were hard with thin bedding and the towels were cheap and super thin. The room does not have a coffee maker. The bathroom was tiny. They charged us a $100 deposit which is ridiculous and hopefully we get our money back. They also charged us an extra person charge which is even more ridiculous because there was only 2 of us. The parking is tight and it was full so we had to park in the road which we were not happy about. The staff was friendly and check in was easy, but we will not stay here again because of the extra charges and no coffee in the room.

Small, tidy beachside motel. No frills, but clean rooms with white bedding and hard floors for cleanliness! This is our Galveston go to.

This is an older motel in an excellent location. The owner hired three great, friendly gals to check you in. Room was small, but clean and fine. I would return.

An older property but has been updated. Nothing fancy, but convenient to things to do. Our room was close to the front which makes view nice, but then street noises were annoying.

The property was in a great location. The owners are in a state of upgrades to the rooms...while on a budget. They are doing well with this. Our room was clean and as described. My only complaint was their pillow situation. We had a king bed with three very tiny pillows...I suggest you make an investment in good comfortable pillows - they aren't too expensive and make a big difference in sleep quality.

Upon entering our room, it smelled like Urine. I'm went to front desk and asked to be moved to another room. The miserable Clerk didn’t believe me, she and I went back to the room. My husband noticed a urine stained floor mat & removed it. The miserable Clerk stated that she didn’t smell anything & said that since out suitcase was on the bed, we couldn’t move to another room. We touched nothing else. The miserable Clerk took the mat & left. While being very angry, I washed the floor under the mat area to help with the smell. Totally black residue came up on the towel. I ended up washing the whole floor, to get rid of the smell. Terribly dirty floor. Yuk. The Urine smell never left. I believe a Dog also peed on the corners of the cloth bed frame. I could smell Urine all night. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The Hotel was not busy and the miserable Clerk could have been more kind and moved us to another room. Never, stay here!

Location is great but traffic is noisy. The door has a gap when closed so keeping noise out is impossible. Bed and pillows are uncomfortable. It’s convenient for a 1-night visit. If I was staying longer, I’d find a different hotel.

Great property on the beach. This a a vintage hotel, right on the water. They keep it tidy and updated. No carpet and white linens! Staff was friendly and helpful, location cannot be beat.

I had to pay $25 for a early check in for a room that was ready. The check in ai was told was at 4 PM that seems very late and unreasonable. I want to be in denial but there was a small roach that came out after eating. I would avoid eating in the room all together. It was nice being close to the beach
