Not exactly a “resort”
We stayed here for a nearby convention. While we technically could see the ocean from the room, the view was much more of the roof and air conditioning units. The entrance to the room was more motel style as the walkway and doors to the rooms were outside. The room was clean and comfortable, but definitely nothing fancy.

2/10 Poor

Terrible
First off, the room they gave us was occupied with a sleeping person who was not happy when I opened the door. Good thing he had the latch done on the door. Then the next room we got, the bathroom door wouldn't close and the shower head pointed out which sprayed the bathroom floor when I turned the shower on. That made a huge mess which required most of our towels to clean it up. The curtains didnt close so we had to use hangers to cinch them closed because the street light was pouring into the room. We did get a free breakfast out of the deal and that was all. There was loud construction outside of our room early and workers at our balcony door working. All in all i was not pleased with the stay.

Wonderful stay! Great staff, great view, very nice room! A little bit untidy in places due to ongoing upgrade work, but once the renovations are complete this will be an even more awesome hotel!

Disappointing stay: Beware misleading pics
Location, location, location! That's what drew me to this hotel, but unfortunately, that's where the excitement ends. The 'resort' name is a stretch - it's more like a budget motel. Picturesque online images don't reflect reality. This place needs serious renovation (which, thankfully I think, is underway). For now, expect: - Uncomfortable, hard-spring beds (think sore mornings) - Limited parking (be prepared to walk from down the street, not ideal with little ones especially after sunset) - Sketchy vibes (not what you'd expect from a 'resort') - The area photographed with the chairs and fire pit was not big enough to accommodate the people here, maybe 10 at the most. -Ac didn’t cool enough and made weird noises all night -Shower was not working properly and made loud noises, water would come out of the top and bottom Silver linings: - Soft sheets and pillows - Prime location near the water - Bathroom has complimentary “dove” shampoo, body wash, conditioner, lotion and hand soap. Definitely feels like that king dollar dove though, if you know what I mean. -Live band on site Don't get me wrong, potential is there. Renovations might transform this place. Until then, set realistic expectations. *Price doesn't match quality.* Consider alternatives. *Rating:* 1/10 *Recommendation:* Wait for renovations or choose another option, San Luis hotel next door was literally cheaper and looked 100000% better than this. Regretted choosing this one over that one.

Great location on the Seawall. We had a first floor room which was like a motel style, parking outside the door area. Don’t mind those but not at the price point we paid for the room. Room was tired looking but clean. Busy pool but nice area to sit and have a pool snack and drinks. Great pool service. Average hotel, ok for our one night stay.

6/10 Good

Great staff and amazing pool and pool side bar open in the afternoon-evening only. Hotel has nice family restaurant with reasonable prices and great food. Breakfast is not included in the price of the room. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants, Rainforest Caffe is next door. Right on the beach. Unfortunately rooms are in poor condition, need renos badly but also not clean, filthy bathrooms and bedsheets not changed after previous guests!! When reception sees reservations made on Expedia the worst rooms are assigned. Ours was above entrance roof with huge noisy AC units and restaurant vents blowing hot air right into our window, could not really use the balcony at all and there was weird smell. If you book through online travel sites check your room first before moving all your luggage in. Little convenience store advertised in the hotel description was always closed, there were no activities for the kids, not even a movie. Games room and little arcade room was open so at least something fun for the kids. Also despite great beach there are no swimming signs almost everywhere in Galveston and water quality is very poor. So recommend Swimming only in the pool which is really great at this hotel.
