“Good clean”

Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW

Stayed one night and was very pleased. Typical Holiday Inn, but enjoyed having full Restaurant on site, don't see this very often except in higher end hotels. The room was big and comfortable. Will stay here again.

“Great family stay”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

I took my two kids, one five and one thirteen, to Galveston for Spring Break 2013. The hotel was perfect for us. It's right across the street from the beach, has a very nice and well kept pool and a super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our room was only on the second floor, so we couldn't view the beach that... More

“Super friendly staff”

Reviewed May 3, 2013

We stayed at this hotel for a recent meeting. I've never experienced a friendlier or more polite staff. It's too bad the weather didn't cooperate with our stay - but a clean hotel in a pretty place in Texas.

I am so glad that you enjoyed both your meeting and your stay with us. I am sorry that the weather didn't cooperate. We hope that you can make a return visit to our hotel when the weather is better. Thank you for your continued patronage of Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts! Steve Kalbaugh, General Manager More

“Loud”

Reviewed April 21, 2013

This hotel is located on the Seawall facing the beach so great location. The rooms are clean with modern decor but you can tell the bones of the hotel are old. Staff was nice and each room appears to have a view of the gulf. The downside of this hotel was the noise level. There is a restaurant/bar downstairs and... More

“Nice Property”

Reviewed April 18, 2013

This hotel is much nicer than the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort. This hotel is clean and comfortable. It has well appointed rooms and ample parking. It is located across from the Gulf of Mexico and the beach. I recommend asking for a high floor. The rooms on the lower level floors appear to have the view of the Gulf blocked... More

“My kind of hotel”

Reviewed April 14, 2013

I am not one to spend a fortune on the room, rather be out doing something! This was a "just right" hotel. The very best part was the service- the front desk, Deborah the shuttle driver, even the housekeeping staff was just over the top helpful and so kind/pleasant. The pool is pretty but the beach is 50 yards away... More
