“Pleasantly Surprised”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I tried to get an inexpensive room on Priceline,but I was not successful. I read some positive reviews on Tripadvisor, and I am a Reward member with Best Western. I decide to book directly with the hotel and use my AAA card. The staff was friendly upon check in. The hotel was right on the ocean. The room was basic, but very clean. I really felt like this hotel was a good value for the money. The overall experience was great, but the staff really were fantastic. Every time I went to the front desk with questions the staff was knowledgeable and very accommodating. I would definitely stay and recommend this hotel.

“We had fun”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Grandmother, Mom and 3 small girls enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was nice and the staff were friendly. Parking was covered. The restaurant next door was good and the beach was across the street and Kroger was right there. Beds were comfortable. The elevator was slow- but it did not mess up our 5 days there. Nice pool with good pool furniture and it was wheelchair accessible with a lift for a person who might wish to swim.
Enjoyed the frig and microwave oven for snacks while the children enjoyed kids' shows on the TV.
The price was very reasonable for a summer stay. I would stay there again!

Room Tip: Ask for ground floor as elevator is a bit slow.

“Clean and comfortable pre-cruise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Booked great deal on priceline and got ocean front room (unlike other area hotels). Small beds, older hotel, but clean and comfortable for 1 night. Microwave, fridge, and free basic breakfast included.

“very happy with location and heated pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

we just got off the Carnival Magic, and decided to stay on the island a couple of nights. It was pretty cold (October, 2012) but because Galveston gets HOT most of the year there are very few heated or indoor pools. We actually put our hand in at least a dozen pools before we found this one. It was pleasant enough to swim in, clean, and located in the center of the complex with chaise lounges.
The rooms have all been renovated, and have a microwave and small refrigerator. The motel is next door to Krogers, and less than a block to Walmart. It is on the seawall near lots of restaurants. The phone in the room we were assigned did not work, and the last tenants had locked the safe. I asked the desk for help and the maintenance man was there within 10 minutes. At $44 per night (king bed, senior rate) it cannot be beat.

Room Tip: you can choose, at the same price, either a room facing the pool (quieter) or the street (also the g...

“Great Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

Everything was very clean and very comfortable. I think our bed was the most comfortable we've ever had in a hotel. You couldn't ask for a friendlier and more helpful staff! The hotel is just across the street from the beach and close to restaurants and handy to all the rest of Galveston's "touristy" spots. I think it's the best bargain in Galveston and we'll be back!
