very friendly staff. rooms we’re very clean. It was close to everything we wanted.

We just staid one night so we could be close for our cruise departure the following day. For that purpose, it met our needs.
It is on the seawall so beach is right across the street and Saltgrass is within walking distance. For a short, cheap stay, it’s great, if you’re looking for luxury, or even comfortable, this place isn’t really for you.

For the price, the room was comfortable and clean. Only complaint was luke warm water, not hot. Breakfast consist of coffee and muffins.

The room was very small and have to move around with 2 adults and 2 children. Parking was very limited as well which was also a problem. However, the room was clean and the cheapest motel on seawall. The location was nice too as it was right across from the water and within walking distance of some shops.

I was there for a cruise so I didnt need much. The one thing that bothered me that the room was “wet” floor was wet due to the heat I guess outside but the room smelt and felt wet. Floor was wet and had an odor of wetness not mildew but wetness

The location is great. Beach front. The rooms are outdated but they try their best. A lot of moisture in the room. Wet walls and floors. Showers old and moldy. Beds were clean and comfortable. Good place if just to sleep and rest.

Found a live roach on the table. Microwave turned on but did not heat food. Won’t stay here again.

Room was on the small side so we felt cramped. Shower pressure was minimal. The king sized bed was comfortable. TV was to small for the room so had a hard time seeing it from the bed. Great location though! Price was good for what we got.

The room was very clean. AC worked very well. I would highly recommend this for the price and the location.

Everything was good except the TV. You have to injure 2-1 to get to Channel 2. If you enter just two it won't come on. If you don't know this figure out a luck

Paid for what I got. Nothing more, nothing less. The ladies at the front could’ve been more helpful.

Very rude front desk personally the room was dirty the beds were horrible to sleep on and the bed covers and sheets and pillows had a bad smell. Also found numerous German roaches crawling around had to put a 200.00 dollar pet fee and don't even own any pets great location bad owner and management.

It's directly across from the Gulf and easy walking to restaurants. Awesome if you bring your bicycle.

I booked the room because I was told I could leave my vehicle on d property while I was on a cruise for additional fee which I was fine with but when I got here to check in I was told I couldn’t leave my vehicle on the property

Although this property is a little older and could use a better cleaning in the bathroom, it was a very comfortable stay! Very close to everything, right across the street from the beach and staff was very nice.

The two negatives were a weak water pressure when showering and limited parking. Overall, it was very good.

I’m very upset about when I checked in last night upon checking in I was told my deposit for one night stay would be put back on my card today at noon which is the day I check out as long as I didn’t smoke or have a pet in room which I did not do either. Then today when I go to check out I ask about my deposit & was told I would not get it back on my card for 3-5 business days from today!!!! I need my deposit back today the day I was told when I got the room!! If I would have been told it was going to take 3-5 business days before I got my money back I would have never paid for room!

Gross property with cigarette butts all over the stairs and walk ways. The room stunk so bad it was just a miserable stay all together. We were there for only one night waiting to board our cruise thankfully!

Went to Galveston for a weeks vacation and stayed here because the rate was really good. The hotel is a typical beach hotel but comfortable to stay in and super close to the beach… like right across the street. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot right at the beach.
2.0
The sheets were dirty. Just stayed 8/3/04 the shower had hair not mine in it! The shower head was horrible. Lobby staff was not friendly at all. The clientele that stays there made me feel unsafe so I had to lock and load. I really don’t recommend staying here. Yes it was cheap! You get what you pay for. Will pay the extra money next time for better service and quality.
4.0
Smells like smoke all throughout the night and the manager tells me she doesn’t smell anything after they go up to the room and spray something in there. And also refuses a refund. Terrible experience
2.0
The location of the hotel was convenient. However, the cleanliness of the rooms could be improved, and the front desk lady was very rude
10.0
Everything is handly on Sea Wall and 16th St.
Didn't like finding a long white hair (20in or more) on my towels. Also Door Locker didnt like me.. always hard to recognize my keycard.

Dont stay here! The place is a dump! Dirty dirty. If you want to listen to ghetto or mexican music blasting at 1am this is your place. Parking is terrible. disabled cars all over the parking lot and not from the storm. They made me leave a deposit cash. No problem, however no atm in the hotel and clerk was unable to direct me to an atm???. House keeping never cleaned the rooms or left clean towels. The place is a crack hotel.
4.0
Good last minute option, a little bit more than i wanted to pay but worth it cor convenience.

Better than the clarion !
