"Overall, we had a very good stay! The property was nice and clean, the staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful, and the location was very convenient and close to the places we wanted to visit in Galveston. The price was also very reasonable for the area. The only issue we had was with our room keys. They repeatedly stopped working, and we had to go back downstairs several times to have them reset, which was a little frustrating. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and had a good experience overall. I would definitely consider staying here again!"
