Out of eight yrs this was the worst front counter check in anywhere in Galveston Texas . Talked to the manager on check out of our last day .. I avoided the office to even ask for services or about any... Reviews said other and then my personal experience wanted me to check out and loss my money sadly I couldn't I was 6hrs from home and well to wait for a refund wasn't an option... So I won't stay here again due to the service I received... Now the room was comfortable and location was convenient but that alone is not what I look for as a guest

I chose this property because of the good reviews. But upon arriving the guy at front desk told us the ac has to be kept below 65 or the floor will condensate. My wife’s shoes were soaked from being on floor. There was blood over door to room and mold on bathroom. I know the reviews say it’s good but our experience was not.

Room needs an upgrade

I couldn't open the door.It looked like someone knocked it opened.It was somewhat fixed. I had trouble with it everytime I left the room.The room had an over powering smell of bleach.We had to keep the door open for about 30 minutes. The bathroom door had an issue.It kept hitting the wall.Room 112.REALLY NOT WORTH WHAT I PAID.

Stay was great and suited our needs But

The stay was great and suited our needs.. we did have our 4 year old grandson with us and with the xtra person.. it was a little tight.. we had 2 beds but not a whole lot of walking space between the furniture.. bed could have been a little softer but maybe I'm just old.. for the $$, I'll stay again :)

Front desk clerk was not the friendliest and demanded our 2nd room deposit via card was in the name of the person checking into the room. I guess. Breakfast was coffee and muffins only. Best beach front hotel on a budget. Room was clean and bed was decent. One night stay for our Carnival cruise.

The Mariner is a descent place for a little get away. The rooms might not be fully updated but at least it wasnt crawling with roaches. Being right next to the gulf it is in fairly good shape. Not really a continental breakfast when its only a muffin.
