Horrible, we were trying to have a nice vacation but with the hotel it got messed up. I booked my hotel 1 month before to be able to book for one with ocea view. I called after to request the highest floor so we can see the ocean as much as we could since we are paying more for an ocean view and the person that answered comfirmed with me that it was all set. But once we got there to check in, they said they didnt have any request and they didnt add the details. What us the point of calling and making a request if they are not going to take it in consideration. We were also told that parking was not included and we had to pay, even tho i confirmed with the person that answered the call that everything was included even laudry. They were not specific about any details. The ROOMS are very very small. We paid for a large room with 2 beds but we didnt even get the room we requested and paid for. There was no soap to wash the hands in the restrooms. The rooms waa dirty and dusty in poor conditions. For breakfast there was only waffles. We were expecting something a little better but no. We will never be coming back to this hotel. What a shame.

The breakfast was terrible. They were out of waffle batter and potatoes by 8:00am and staff were unwilling to bring out more. I found this totally unacceptable.

This was the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I absolutely loved it. I would go back. The staff were very nice and polite. The breakfast was so tasty, with many great options. It’s really close to the beach. The only bad thing is paying $15 a day for parking.

Air conditioning was slow to cool down the room. The hallway floor in front of the elevators was wet. The room was clean, but had a strange odor.

Hotel lost power the first night and we were on the 5th floor. Marriott’s only response was to give me rewards points which don’t even cover one night’s stay anywhere. Disappointing. It was a nice hotel otherwise.

Great property across the street from the beach. Well kept. Great rooms. Great pool area. Great lobby. It made you want to hang out at the lobby for a drink and to relax. Good breakfast as well. Over great experience. I would definitely stay here again.

Property was okay. The property has buildings between them and the sea wall so there isn’t a view of the beach. The hot tub was really a warm tub to the point kids thought it was just a smaller pool. There were a lot of reviews about the breakfast but it was severely lacking. The waffles were great and they had several toppings, but they viewed bacon as a premium and based on my stay it was only offered every other day. Rooms were nice but please do yourselves a favor and avoid the rooms with a king bed. Your view is of a wall and apparently that is the view for every one of those rooms. Your towels and trash only get rotated every other day. Don’t track sand in the room because they don’t clean the floor until you leave. Overall, not great but I’m sure i could have done worse. If you ask if I’d stay here again it would be a no.

Great Hotel

Great hotel in Galveston! We stayed one night before a cruise. It was very clean and the rooms are large and some offer ocean views. It is a couple minute walk to the beach. Easy Uber ride to the cruise port. We loved our stay here!

There was a very friendly lady, Rhianon, at the front desk who so helpful and kind. We adored the breakfast - great selection and taste every morning. The layout of the room was perfectly accommodating for our family of 4. The location of the hotel made things easily accessible to many places. We will be back!
