I’m literally freaking out bc waking up we found bed bugs - now we just killed one in the car. This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been at even worse than a $60 hotel and that’s crazy.

We had checked in really late and arrived around 2:00 am. After a long day of travel we got to our room and immediately noticed a bad smell in the room. As we were getting ready for bed we noticed roaches all over the floor. My husband noticed there were a lot by the fridge. He killed what he found and we were completely grossed out but was too tired to leave. We checked out at 7am and decided never to go back when we sail out of Galveston

First room we had had roaches and the TV stopped working then they put us in a second room. That was a lot nicer, but had problems with the TV as well. The Internet kept going in and out all in all it was an OK stay no I will not choose it again especially for the price.

The place is conveniently located. Reasonably priced. Rooms were neat and clean. The hallway and elevator floors could need a deep clean to get rid of odor. Breakfast options were slightly limited and could use different menus for each day. Overall its a good value
