This was a great stay right on the seawall. This is a great place to stay after a day of beach fun and exploring Galveston. Didn’t come here to sit in a room all day!! Price point is spot on!

This was a 30 second walk to the sandy beach. The facilities were a little dated and it could have been a bit more clean but there were no bugs. I will be staying here again next time we are in town for a cruise.

The room was too small for 2 double beds, the room we had was next to the cleaning personnel so it was noisy. This place would be good for an overnight stay, but not a few days
