Last minute trip to the Beach...
It was a spur of the moment overnight trip. We wanted beach view. The room was an average room, nothing fancy of course. the bed was comfy, but the shower was awful! hardly any water pressure, and it took a while to receive hot water. Besides the shower issue, our overall stay was okay. I may book this hotel in the future. We just needed a bed and shower, as our plan was stay on the beach the whole day.

Domigo was great, room was subpar
I think the best experience about this place was the front desk person named Domingo. The lady who checked us out looked like I was interrupting her show or whatever on her phone. It was supposed to be partially ocean view, it was not. The shower was gross, but they did offer a fridge and microwave. Don’t think we’ll revisit this place.

Our go to stop in Galveston
The location of this place is great. The beach is directly across the street. The place is a good place to lay your head. It isn’t nice or fancy. But we repetitively stay here

Great place to stay on the beach for a good rate. The room is a bit used and weathered, but still is comfortable and safe.
