This was an as expected, average 3 star hotel. The front of the hotel was much more impressive then the sides and back. We were to be in a two queen room, but beds were full size not queen. The rooms appeared to be clean, but old. It was on a nice location, across from the beach. This hotel is... More

This motel has everything you could need. The staff is friendly and the location is excellent. I don't like the motel style of this property being so close to the water their was a strong fish smell in the air and the humidity found its way into the room. Next time I visit the area I think I will pay... More

Okay, it's not The Ritz, but for the price, it's an excellent choice. Admittedly too long a walk from town, but if you want a cheap and cheerful place to stop for a day or two, this is the place.

We were leaving for a cruise out of Galveston so we decided to spend two days checking out the city of Galveston before the cruise. I had heard mixed reviews of Galveston so I was a little apprehensive about the hotels. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the BW Beachfront Inn. It's directly across from the beach and a long... More

The location is quite good, close to the I45 artery and right on the seafront, which is nice except when it blows a gale. The hotel smelt musty, the lift to rooms was at the opposite end of the site from the reception desk (and smelt quite bad) and rooms were adequate. Best Western should stop penny pinching and provide... More

Just brought my nephews down and stayed at this hotel, staff was wonderful and friendly, room was clean. Kids had a blast, they loved the pool! Perfect location at just the right price. Microwave came in very handy. Breakfast was OK.

It was hard to find a hotel in Galveston for a reasonable price on a weekend, so this was in a good location for the price. The hotel is a bit run down and the elevator was filthy. Rooms are adequate and include a microwave and fridge which is handy as Kroeger is right next door. Breakfast was very minimal;... More

My wife and I looked for an affordable motel on the Gulf waterfront in Galveston and booked a room at the Beachfront Inn via an on-line service. We were satisfied with our choice. The Beachfront Inn is situated with its parking lot adjoining Seawall Boulevard, the seafront avenue atop the storm-surge wall that was built following the historic 1900 hurricane... More
