Had a nice stay at this hotel while waiting to go on our cruise the following day. I had asked ahead for recommendations for dinner and was emailed back promptly, when checking in we got an upgrade to a balcony, while it is slightly an obstructed view, it was nice. Their was an event going on there, a fraternity thing... More

We have stayed here on a few different occassions. The pool has a swim up bar and a rock waterfall. The water is always perfectly clear and clean. There is also a hot tub and sauna. The beds are 5 star and the room is super fresh and clean. We stay in the separate tower which has a huge window... More

This is an amazing hotel ! Everyone is so helpful, the hotel is very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable! You may pay a little more than most hotels, but it is well worth it ! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

My family and I came for a wedding and stayed here. The beach was across the road. Down the street was a fair like attraction which was very pleasant and it had rides for my kids. The rooms were clean and the staff was polite.

Stayed 1 night while traveling along the Gulf of Mexico. Our room was bright & cheery, even though it was not decorated with the current trend in hotel rooms. We had a view of the Gulf, which really means we looked at the parking lot, pool, busy street & then the Gulf. After a day of driving, we went to... More

The pool, lobby, and restaurants are mediocre to okay at best (which is what I expect from Hilton) But it seems that all we had were problems from the very beginning. The AC did not work and it took over a day to get fixed... Which if u have ever been to south texas, you know that AC is a... More

This hotel is directly across the (busy) street that abuts Galveston beach. I stayed here for 4 nights. The rooms are very clean. Bathrooms are nice, could use some updating but clean, towels are good and products are very good. Overall the room is very nice, get a higher floor so you get a good view of the ocean, or... More

This hotel has a nice location on Seawall Blvd so you are right on the Gulf but the street is wide and busy. The hotel itself is a little dated, rooms are small, more for Spring Breakers. Does have a pool bar if you are into drinking while swimming. It says it is a resort but there are no 'resort'... More
