i chose the place for free parking, didn't care for there room, didn't care for them watching my car... For cruise parking I recommend LIGHTHOUSE PARKING (http://www.lighthouseparking.org/) I am a firm believer of you get what you pay for and I don't expect much from a room. All I need is a place to sleep and shower... BUT this place... more

From the hotel clerk, Mustag who greeted us with a friendly smile and was very polite, to the room itself we were very pleased. We found the room to be very clean and had all the comforts of home, from the comfortable bed with plenty of pillows to the microwave/refrigerator/iron/blowdryer, oh, and the massaging shower head. We travel alot, and... more

We stayed at the hotel with three small children. The location is convient to I-45. Not close to the ocean, but nice considering its not on the seawall. The employees were very nice, and even offered me milk for our baby. The accomodations worked for what we needed. The room was clean. The motel is near three different gas stations... more

We booked two rooms for 2 adults and 5 children for our annual Girl Scout trip, planned by the girls and using their (limited) troop funds. Upon arrival, we were told we had to pay an extra $5/child per night. The manager insisted it was hotel policy. We explained that we didn't have any indication of this charge in our... more

Terrible experience from start to finish. At check in all I asked was for them to mail a stamped letter I handed them. It was handed back stating they did not want to be responsible for it. I explained even the worst motels would at least accept guests mail. They stood their ground and simply gave me directions to a... more

My fiance and I went to Galveston without making reservations first....BIG MISTAKE...we had to search for hours for a hotel that wasn't booked. So needless to say, we didn't pick this one. The room was clean but had an odor. We had to burn candles and spray air freshner the entire time. The price was a little high for what... more

Usually when I stay is Galveston I want to be as close to the beach as possible. This time however I needed quick access to I45 because the main feature was an Astros game in Houston and I did not want to stay in Houston. The staff was friendly upon arrival. The room was large and clean with more than... more
