I stayed in Galveston March of 2009 and drove by the flagship. It was heavily damaged by Ike and does not look like it will be open for a long time if it all. more

My Husband and I stayed 3 nights here in October 2007. The only complaint we had was the bed was quite hard. The room was clean and everything worked. We enjoyed having the continental breakfast which was included in the moderate price for the room. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the birds dive for bread tossed... more

my wife and I had a couple of days so we decided to take the 3 hour drive to Galveston. After hanging out on Seawall blvd we decided to go ahead and get a room and spend the night. We thought it would be nice to stay in a hotel right on the water and free fishing off the peer... more

Okay. The hotel is old and in serious need of renovation. The elevators should be condemned and security could be better. The rooms, carpets, and furniture are of Motel 6/Super 8 quality. They should also lose--or redefine--the "continental breakfast." But the front desk people are great, the rates reasonable, the hotel is totally convenient (walking distance) to excellent restaurants and... more

The hotel is very old and in need of face lift. The views from the rooms were pretty, but my husband also viewed some guy... more

My husband and I stayed for three nights and four days. He had always wanted to stay there, and despite all the negative reviews we read about this hotel, we chose to give it a try. The staff and front desk were wonderful. Too bad the room wasn't. It had a very old and stale smelling mattress and carpet. The... more

This was the worst hotel experience EVER! The outdated room smelled musty and moldy. There was even mold and dust piled on the vents in the bedroom and bathroom . The carpet was dirty and we even had 2 guest roaches crawl in for the night. Cleanliness is the most important asset to a hotel and the Flagship failed miserably.... more
