  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nice cheap hotel, staff are very helpful, rooms are clean, AC works well. However, my ac stopped working my first day but when I notified front desk they moved me to a new room to immediately which had a working ac. The lights in the hallway on floor 3 flicker a lot. Overall a great deal.

    The hotel itself is nicely renovation with visually appealing selections and seems well maintained. Our room however smelt musty and the linens felt damp. It improved slightly after the air conditioner was turned down but the smell woke me up a few times throughout the night. If we were staying more than 1 night we likely would have asked for a different room. The gym was uncomfortably hot. Breakfast was adequate but the hot items weren’t the best. Eggs had a strange texture (even comparing to standard hospital or powdered eggs). For the value, it was a nice average stay and a nice easy commute to the port of Galveston.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Everything was great front check in to check out.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The overall appearance of the exterior was well kept up. Upon check in there was a little wait time but that could have been due to the 4th of July. The room was clean and full of towels. The staff was nice. The only thing I didn't care for was the area was kind of industrial but everything else was good. I would recommend staying here.

    Location, was perfect. My husband had court that’s the reason we looked for something close to the municipal courthouse. Swimming pool water was super cold?

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Friendly staff Clean spot

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The hotel itself was spotless, clearly well‑managed, and in a perfect location for everything we needed. The AC worked perfectly and the staff was very nice. The only downside was breakfast. On both mornings we went down to eat, the food was already gone and everything had been put away, leaving us with no options at all. And it was before breakfast time was over.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I like the convenience of the location and the lobby aesthetics. I didn’t like that the front lobby and the hallway smelled great but our bathroom had an unpleasant odor.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean rooms. Low price Breakfast was subpar. Coffee rarely available except for breakfast

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Only one person to manage front desk. No one tending breakfast area. Understaffed

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Water was dropping on your head when sitting on the toilet

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nice, big, clean and great smelling rooms.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The rook constantly smelt like an indian ran gas station. I use a lot of non toxic cleaners at home so it was rough to smell that constantly. I booked it because Sonesta was in the title but it was nothing like a Sonesta. More like a Wyndham. Elevator needed serious upgrading and Maintenance. Breakfast was basic and the coffee machine didn’t work. Computer desk chair was falling apart in room, conditioner wouldn’t pump out product on the wall and fitted sheet had a stain so they either never washed it after previous guest or refuse to throw it out. You can’t see out the windows due to the staining on them, was on the 3rd floor, must of had a bad view. Definitely not worth the price.
