Paid over $400 a night for a room with a view of the ocean. No balcony. Next to the ice maker. Next to the elevator. Refused late check out. Plastic plants everywhere. Breakfast buffet was on par for a cheap hotel. I respect supply and demand, but there are so many other places to stay for less, many with a... More

Great location! Right across from a nice area of beach. Gorgeous pool area with swim-up bar. Our room was clean and the beds comfortable. We loved our little balcony (4th floor) which looked out over the ocean with the awesome pool and hot tub below. We did not find the hotel noisy as I've noticed on some reviews; it was... More

Stayed in this hotel in Jan 2012 while in Galveston for a cheer competition. There is always a lot of noise in hotels full of cheer squads but this was by far the loudest! You could hear EVERYTHING going on in the hallways...I stuffed towels under the crack of the door to muffle the sounds but you could still clearly... More

The Hilton Resort on Galveston is a well is a well-located, nice resort. We reserved 2 ocean view king sized rooms. The rooms were very nice, beds comfortable and everything worked as expected. The staff in the hotel were courteous and helpful. The bar had a nice selection for a night cap. The breakfast buffet satisfied everyone in our party.... More

We stayed here two nights before departing on cruise. Room was sparkling clean, bed was comfy and we loved that they took us to their other parking lot to leave our car for the week of our cruise. We had a Gulf view room and it was very relaxing. My only complaint would be the lack of parking around the... More

My daughter and I stayed there two nights for her 50th birthday. Nice pool area and pool but the bugs and debris in the water made the pool unattractive to swim in. Nice swim up bar and staff friendly and efficient.. My daughter burned the bottom of her foot going over the bridge to the bar. Has a large blister.... More

We stayed over mother's day weekend. We were only able to book one night but they let you "precheck in" whatever time you wanted so we were able to use the pool all day Saturday. The pool was nice with a swim up bar and poolside service. The front desk called us when our room was ready. We were given... More

It was a nice hotel with a great view (we were on the 8th floor w/a full ocean view and view of the pool). We just didn't think there was anything extraordinary about it. Well, except for maybe the staff, they were very nice and helpful. There wasn't a microwave in the room and none in the hotel to use... More

Exceptionally friendly staff! At every interaction, whether intended or simply in passing, the staff greeted me, asked about my stay, and reminded me that they are there to help. The location is both easy to find and convenient walking distance to several restaurants and activities. It is about 3 miles from downtown Galveston’s shops and restaurants, but the situation along... More
