For the price and location this hotel is the best place to stay for family, kids, and beach goers. Just walk across the street and there is the beach. The pool was great and the rooms where excellent. I stayed on the second floor the first night and the second night we stayed on the third floor. We only were... more

I travel for work. I am not to concerned about the swimming pool or other activities. I do care about having an iron and hair dryer. Unfortunately, this hotel had neither. Also, the rooms are filthy, there's spider webs on the windows, the bathroom faucet looks like there calcium deposits on them. I stayed in a double bed room and... more

My husband and I stayed at the commodore for the lone star bike rally in galveston from 10/30/09-11/1/09. We were on the first floor so our patio door went right out to the pool area. It was great to come back from a long day on the strand, go outside and watch the bikes and waves go by. The room... more

My kids are ready to go again and stay in the same hotel, even if it was somewhat run down. But the location of the hotel right across from the beach was so convenient and with us being gone most of the day, it worked out. and having the camera at the pool allowed the kids to call their dad... more

I don't know what some of the other reviewers wanted for the price, but I thought the Commodore was fine. Of course I didn't go expecting the Hotel Galvez...and I didn't pay the $400 a night price for it either! My friend and I have come to Galveston in late summer as an annual thing for several years now. We... more

I realize that it was a family hotel but noone was paying any attention to the dozen kids outside all the rooms in the... more

I've never written a review for Tripadvisor, but felt stronly compelled to share my story. After our pre-paid cash deposit, and verification of our reservation the week prior, when we arrived they said that our room was already given to someone else. The manager never ever said, "I'm sorry", nor tried to resolve our problem. He just said, "it's already... more

We were familiar with the Commodore on the Beach after driving past it countless times, so we knew what it looked like and what to expect. We also knew that it had a nice pool full of families with kids, and did not expect anything more. The Commodore on the Beach allowed us to check in early - 11:00 a.m.... more
