Our first time staying In galveston, our flight arrived about 4 hours before check in and the front desk accommodated us but letting us check in early. It’s in a great location close to the beach and shopping. Great family friendly environment. Our room was clean and bed was comfortable

Unfortunately, the hotel was not able to help us with airport transportation early in the morning. We were unable to flag an Uber or Lyft and the hotel staff tried to help us with taxi services that were not interested in the driving my family and I at that time. The hotel needs to be better equipped to help guests with travel itineraries, especially on days that there are no cruises departing. We had decided to extend our stay to explore Galveston after our cruise and regretted it tremendously.

Property check in on website says 4pm, however I called around 2 to see if we could get early check in. They said no, they were still cleaning and that it would be normal check in time. I said ok, got there at 4:10, staff member says it will probably be another hour or more until we can get in our room because of max capacity night before?? We were coming from out of town, exhausted from drive, no prior heads up that check in would be later than our reservation stated. Staff did not offer anything to make it better or to compromise for my family of 5 waiting for our room in the lobby for over an hour. They said they’d call when the room was ready, did not call, had to keep checking with front desk and finally it was ready. Super inconvenient!! Other than that, it was clean and easy walk to the beach. Probably wouldn’t come back because of the lack of communication regarding check in.
