    Awesome place ! Very clean and comfortable with delicious / fine dining food

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Beautiful property. Be aware checkin is at 4 all the attractions close at 4 , checkout is noon and attractions open at noon . Cashless society so you must use a card and the machine weren’t compatible with Canadian cards interact or credit so it was tough . All we carried was cash for our vacation . I would definitely go and stay and do the attraction but now I am more aware of how to .

    The lobby smelled like fish which wasn’t pleasant but other than that it was a great place to stay! Unfortunately the water park wasn’t open while we were there. Definitely family friendly and the staff were great!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Love this hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of counterspace and under counter on the bathroom vanity. Parking garage very accessible. Every member on staff we spoke with was extremely cordial and helpful. Very competitive pricing for this quality. This is now our go-to hotel on future trips to Galveston.

    I booked this hotel for a family stay of 6. The property was great, especially the staff. The problem I had was I clearly booked for a handicapped individual and the rooms they gave us were at least 3 blocks from the main building. We asked to be moved and they did move us cheerfully, but it was grueling for my daughter to walk that distance. They said it was due to booking on expedia for the rate we paid. They should have informed us. The room I had did not have anyplace to put soap, shampoo etc in the shower. Also no fan in the bathroom (or not functioning?) Other than this, no microwave or amenities in the room, except coffee. Water was $6.00 a bottle?! The hotel restaurant we ate breakfast at was just mediocre for expensive price. We waited 25 minutes to get coffee in the morning. But Shearns (steak and lobster) was the best we had ever had. Service, etc was impeccable and for six it was upwards of $400 (including tip), so very good. We all ranted about how good the food was, bread service, etc. Excellent! We would definitely return. We weren't able to use the pool, etc. Gift shop just meh... Wheelchair service great in hotel. Valet drove us to the pyramids so that was really helpful! As I said the staff was amazing!
