1> Better than most others in Galveston. Especially on 12/4/04 when all motels raise their rates. 2> Don't like having my vehicle outside. 3> Didn't like all the construction going on, made for a messy drive. 4> Room was great. 5> Door lock failed. Worker took over 1/2 hour to fix. Electronic device had to be re-programmed. Worker had to... More

We are certainly striving to improve our hotel and staff. We offer free parking for our hotel guests which includes our garage parking. This also... More

This was an excellent, inexpensive hotel for a pre-cruise hotel in Galveston. I did not expect any frills and so I was not at all disappointed. You can see the Gulf from some of the rooms, but none of the rooms that our group stayed in had a full Gulf view. The room was clean and very basic. None of... More

Basic hotel. No frills. I mean NO FRILLS, not even towels for the pool. They said that too many people take them to the beach so they don't provide towels for the pool. Use your own. The room was small and dirty and smelled musty and smokey (non-smoking room).The carpet was very stained and dirty. My two year old was... More

Just returned from a pleasant three night stay. The room was clean, cool and had a nice third floor view of the pool. A coffee maker, hairdryer, iron and board were a nice touch. A continental breakfast consisting of coffee, juice, milk, tea, pastries, cereal and bagels was great to start the day. Cocoa, coffee and cappucino were available 24... More

After using Trip Advisor to narrow our choice, we found that the Best Western was the best value and had the least complaints. Upon checking in, found the room to be very clean, cool and the facilities were well groomed. The TV's remote control lost its' settings and the staff very quickly replaced it. No complaints and will use them... More

The Best Western Beachfront Inn is your standard, average hotel. No frills! Rooms were average (had been updated in 2001, I think) and were okay for just sleeping, but not a luxury hotel by any means if that's what you're looking for. A good place for a family! The pool was nice. The hotel is directly across from the Seawall,... More

We were told about this great beach view. We viewed a Kroger parking lot. The room was fine, service was fine. We had even been guaranteed a king bed etc, yet they had trouble finding us a room. The other view would have been a park like setting with the pool. Galveston was great.
