    Not cool water in the shower

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We read other reviews and knew what to expect and were ready for everything. Room and property grounds were clean. Lots of parking even though it was a holiday weekend.

    Horrible todo la verdad. No volvería a hospedarme ahí

    I liked it was by the beach affordable and convenient. Property was sandy. Room floor wasn’t as clean as I would have wanted it to be. Found a spider on bed and a spider on restroom floor.

    The motel is in a decent location but it is in terrible shape. The pool is dirty and tiny. Parking is awful. The room is gross and everything is broken. I paid $800 for 2 nights and it was 100% NOT worth the $. Stay anywhere else but here!!!

    Great spot right on the beach.

    The front office staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. When asked for more towels I was told I had to bring my dirty, damp towels to the office myself, and exchange them for clean ones. When I arrived to the motel, I was charged an additional $100.00. not a hold, like most hotels, an additional charge which was not refunded. I picked up my room before leaving so it was not because of the condition of my room. Speaking of which...the walls had peeling paint and mold, the floors were dirty, the sink was clogged the whole time, the refrigerator didn't work and my groceries spoiled, and I couldn't sleep because the mattress was uncomfortable. When I caught a few winks, I had nightmares about the room. The pro: it's right across the street from the beach so any time spent outside of the motel was lovely.

    They do not have irons in the rooms or in the office for use. The view was the only good thing going for this hotel/motel.

    This is a super value property. Very, very cheap, so you get what you pay for. Great location right across from the beach. The room was actually very clean. Bed was comfortable. But it’s pretty rough around the edges. The door of our room kind of looked like someone has tried to break in at some point in the past. The lobby has a weird smell of mildew and chemicals. The pool had a cigarette butt floating around in it. However, it was great value and felt safe and clean.

    This was a good hotel over all, the staff was good with keeping up with towels and cleaning the rooms, parking didn’t seem to be enough for the rooms that were there but was always able to park on the property. The air conditioning stayed up with the high heat and kept our room cool the whole stay with no issues.

    Great location across from the beach and near restaurants.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This was a disgusting and dirty motel. Very run-down! The room was unswept, hair in the shower, the door lock was old and didn’t feel secure. Only one ice machine was available and was in a nasty outdated open areas on the first floor. The sheet on my bed had a pink stain!?!?! The bed was hard and the pillows flat and probably old!!! The shower floor looked disgusting-black stains! Use comet or some sort of bleach to clean. Had to ask for more towels and took them forever to deliver them. The only thing good was the ac which was nice and cold. This was a no frills motel which was fine but kept it clean!!!

    Good location, go to beach in 2 min. Good parking. Low level of the hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Property was good (salt water can break down any surface) ideal location, walking distance from beach and good food! Staff was not pleasant and at times rude and neither of the two we dealt with smiled or had anything nice to say - customer service is a hard industry - I’m in it - so it means a great deal to me. I know we all have bad days , I do too, but both of them at the front desk were neither helpful nor friendly at all. So its hard to chalk it up to just a bad day for two different employees. I want to recommend but I won’t because of the customer service staff. I will find someplace else my next trip to Galveston!

    I liked the staff they were great and helpful room was good but there were roaches in the room on the walls live and crawling. If not for that this place would be rated higher bc the employees were so helpful
