Good Hotel at a Good Price

Located just a few miles from the beach. It was easy to find and had easy access to the main freeway. Would recommend if you just need a place to stay and aren't worried about great luxury.

A bad experience

This hotel is nowhere near the cruise terminal or anything else for that matter. I was advised not to walk anywhere after dark in the area. There are no restaurants or services close by. I was not even in the room for more than 20 minutes when I met the resident cockroach! Come the morning I went to get a shower...no hot water at all. It wasn`t a clean relaxing environment, however the staff were friendly.

Clean Rooms / Helpful Staff

We stayed one night to travel on a cruise out of Galveston. For a one night stay, this hotel was perfect. The room was clean and fresh. The front desk staff was helpful with where to eat or shop. The contential breakfast was skimpy, but the coffee was great. We would stay there again. Offered parking for cruise travelers.

Very friendly staff

If you need internet access, this is not the place for you. I forgot to check on this feature before making the reservation and I was unable to do some of my work while there.
