AC could not maintain a stead and comfortable temperature. Yes, you expect to get what you pay for, but basic necessities such air conditioning should be serviceable. Additionally, lady at the front desk needs a course on basic proper interaction with visitors.

Room needs lots of repairs, shower head spraying all over the bathroom, light flickering at random, linens paper thin, mattresses horrible, breakfast was coffee and tiny muffins, staff that really did not want to be there, homeless guy helping himself to " breakfast", and a poster that said something to the effect that the property was under a court order by authority of the Galveston Police. Don't care how cheap it is, will never stay again!

Stayed here several times since Thanksgiving 2024, will stay again. Only knock is lack of parking when all rooms are taken. However the parking along hotel side of Seawall is free and available for use.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
the location and price was excellent. Evening clerk was not friendly. Morning attendant was very friendly. Although the floor in the room was clean and new looking, the humidity caused the floor to be WET and slick. I had to put towels on the floor to prevent slipping when I got up during the night. Further, the new bathroom door would not close completely. The room price was excellent, though.

There was not enough parking. I had to park in the alley behind the property. I did not feel safe. Also the bedspread had a brown stain. Disgusting. The male at the desk didn't seem to care about anything. It seemed like we were interrupting him when we checked in.
