“Clean and close to beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

Stayed during a Mardi Gras weekend, so paid triple the non-peak room rate. Asked for non-smoking room at time of reservation. First room offered to us on second floor smelled of cigarette smoke so luckily, there was another room on lower level that was available when we asked for a room change. Clean but room didn't have a chair or small sofa to sit on, so we ended up sitting on the bed if we needed to watch TV. Close to beach but not beachfront. Entrance door to room had a small gap underneath where it meets the threshold, which allowed the outdoor lights at night to shine through and let us always hear if someone was walking or talking in front of our room. Not good for light sleepers. Two thin pillows, so bring your extra pillow if you need more support. Mini fridge available. Staff at check-in and check-out were friendly. Didn't stay to try the continental breakfast. Would I stay here again? Only if I needed a place to stay overnight, not longer.

“cheap and clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013

Love it..close to the beach and the rooms have everything you need... pet friendly. Better than others..we check others and no body would accept pets they did at not extra charge. Rooms are clean with a mini fridge, safe.

“Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

Husband and family in Galveston for surgery at UTMB Sealy Hospital. 10-15 min drive. Plenty of parking. Wi-Fi no problems. None of usual beach hotel problems. No sand, carpets clean. Heat already on at our arrival. Should of noted settings- we turned off then up and down. Should have asked office for best setting. 2 days to find it again. 4 day stay. Good standard cont. breakfast. Got requested adjoining rooms. Only thing not as advertised was no table in one room. Discounts used from hospital list- ask front desk. Best under 45$ hotel stayed at in last 10 years. 4 people -same room price.

Room Tip: Coffee made on request Staff listening to needs of visitors. Call or ask in office.

“Very Nice for the Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

Affordable to say the least. It is NOT a 4 Star but WHAT A BARGAIN; it is an older establishment but all the amenities work; it is neat and clean, they are very friendly, professional and helpful. Thank you, Eric for helping me with the Internet. Bobber and I are having a blast on our 36th anniversary.
