We have been longing to stay at this hotel for some time. It is quite a looker from the street as it overlooks the ocean. The history of it, combined with the walking distance to the beach sounds...

1. DO NOT expect the staff to be friendly; 2. DO NOT expect the hotel to be well-kept, with attention to detail; 3. FORGET about intenet, a business center, or anything remotely related to doing...

Although my favorite Galveston hotel is still the Harbour House at Pier 21 it was full; so I took a chance with Priceline and got the Galvez for $110. I LOVE the restaurant there and every meal I ever...

We had stayed at the Galvez in January 08 the night before our cruise. We had a rather embarassing encounter so they gave us a voucher to come back. We booked for one night in June 08 and when we...

We have stayed at The Galvez many times and absolutely love it. Yes, the rooms are small- but it is an historic hotel. The lobby area is beautiful- it's relaxing to have drinks at the lobby bar. Also,...
