Great Hotel & Location!

We stayed here in preparation for a cruise we were going on the next day. The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly and the balcony of our room was a nice addition. We had a nice view of the Gulf of Mexico (or Gulf of America - whatever your jam is) that also overlooked the pier. The staff recommended 'The Spot' next door to eat, which was a really great place to eat. General breakfast items were offered. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

The elevator floor had puddles of water from children running in and out from the pool and it was a hazard. The tv had basic channels. You can’t order movies or log into prime or Netflix like other hotels so it made staying in boring. Especially if you have kids. It’s miserable. And to have to pay $16 to park was the straw that broke the camels back. I’m for the lack of tv entertainment alone parking should be free. This was my LAST time staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

Really nice place to stay. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, and had everything i needed, including a microwave and small refrigerator. They had a couple free of bottles of water for members of hotel club, but everyone else had to pay. The people working the desk were very friendly. My only dislike was the parking. It is paid parking, and uses QR code on a paper hang down tag for your car for entry and exit of the parking garage. If you didnt hold the paper in just the right position, it would take forever to get in and out, but did, eventually, work, after a few error messages. I would definitely stay again, despite this.

The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. We liked that it was on the Seawall and close to everything Galveston has to offer. The pool was refreshing after some time on the beach. The fresh cookies each day were so good and our son looked forward to grabbing one as we were coming in from the day.
