The staff is exceptional at making their guests feel welcome and pampered. We spent our honeymoon here 29 years ago and have been back many times. This trip, the staff served us a charcuterie board and champagne in our room to celebrate. We love Hilton! Thank you! Tod Shannon Castle

My family stayed at Galveston’s Hilton for a weekend vacation . The staff was very professional at check in . The room was rather tiny but clean and beds were comfy. I’d recommend checking in early for a room with a good view. At 6pm only 1st fl or parking lot view was available . The location was outstanding as it’s close to good restaurants , beach and convention center. The best part of the hotel was the amazing pool . It was very relaxing and well staffed . I would stay here again but with an early arrival time for better room choice.

Hotel was awesome. So new and comfortable. Great lounge and bar, small nice cafe. Walkable to restaurants and the beach area. Staff was nice, but we encountered several problems with our reservation and billing. Kareem seemed new and not very knowledgeable, however, Amelia and Peggy were very helpful in getting things straightened out. I was surprised self-parking was $21, but the parking was convenient.

Worst weekend ever

Rooms were awful. Furniture is torn, they charged the wrong credit card which resulted in my regular bank account over the limit. Customer service was rude to server guests in my presents. It just wasn't a good experience.

Hilton you’ve earned 1k stars from my family & I

Check in was quick, check in is at 4 but did let us check in at 2:30, pool & bar very nice, oh goodness the beds are so comfortable, you must pay for breakfast, but it’s well worth it (buffet). Everyone that worked there definitely made you feel welcomed. As I would pass them in the halls they would ask if we were ok did we need anything! Will be booking again in September
