We had a very nice time at this resort. Booked 2 rooms online, 1 was on 1st floor (at our request), and the 2nd on the 5th floor. Check-in was a breeze, no wait. The higher room had been renovated and was much nicer, but the floor level had easy access to pool. Restaurant had some of the best shrimp... more

Stayed here 04/25/08 through 04/28/08. While the rates were a little high, I stayed here because they had a free shuttle to the port and within a six-mile radius, and free parking for cruise guests which all-in-all, ended up saving me money. Rain Forest Café has a shuttle every night that comes to the hotel and takes you to and... more

Staff is friendly, maybe have been admonished regarding previous reviews. Stay above 3rd floor or enjoy the view of rooftop ac units. Not noisy, but pool area is right below. Room had musty odor which disappeared after first maid visit. more

After research, we chose the Holiday Inn Galveston - On the Beach for the night before our cruise on Dec 29. The price was reasonable and included free parking and shuttle for the cruise. The Holiday Inn desk clerk was helpful and advised us to take the early shuttle to the ship. He was correct and we were able to... more

I stayed here one night for a training class in Galveston. That was more than enough... Checking appeared to go smoothly as I got me key quickly and was directed to my room. Unfortunately, the room was occupied, but the key worked! If not for the guy having the chain on the door, who knows what I would have walked... more

This is the worst Holiday Inn I have ever stayed in. The room was average, the ac did not work and the staff was uncaring and very condesending. One of our party had her purse stolen while at the hotel bar. The place states it has 24 hour security. No security was present until after the Galveston PD had arrived.... more

I read reviews about noise in this place and I can believe some of it. The hotel bar is apparently some sort of popular night spot. There were rooms very close by and they have live music some nights. I saw a lot of families all over the place and I heard loud voices in the hall well after 10... more

Upside - right on the seawall. They store your car for free while you are cruising, give you a ride to and from the dock. Everyone is very nice and friendly. Downside - possibly the noisiest hotel we have ever stayed in. We could hear the child in the next room, the traffic out front, the band downstairs, the tv... more

Stayed for a conference. In a room with 2 queen beds. On bed was very l lumpy. I have never had lumpy bed before. For a resort, no hot tub, asked attendant, said it was by pool, but did not exist. HA Very disappointing. more
