Top Old Central Hotel Reviews

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"The couch bed in the corner room was very hard and uncomfortable. A rollaway might have been better. We loved the pool area, but we were there Monday-Wednesday, and there were no chairs by the pool that had shade. In order to get shade, you had to pay a ridiculous amount to reserve a cabana, which came with pool chairs. We only saw about two families/couples using these cabanas, while multiple chairs were empty with umbrellas over them. We did ask Abigail on Monday if we could have an umbrella moved over, and she got permission for us to move to chairs by the cabana closest to the open completely sunny area around 2:30. On Tuesday, another pool waitress said no around 3:00 to an elderly couple who needed shade, even though only two were occupied. After I argued, she went and asked permission from a manager, who allowed them to sit under the umbrella. This is ridiculous! There should be some chairs with umbrellas for people not using cabanas. I understand for summertime on weekends, but this is fall on weekdays! The pool bar staff and coffee shop clerk were awesome!"

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

10/10 Excellent

"For us this stay was all about location and Harbor House didn't disappoint. We were leaving on a cruise the next day and actually saw our ship docking the evening of our stay right from our room windows. Took advantage of restaurants next door. Room was clean and AC worked great. The front desk staff and manager were very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay there again."

The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We do cruising out of Galveston, this is simply a nice, great walking location for food/bars. And you're 5 mins drive to port. Staff is always friendly & the place is well maintained for an old building. We love the history & ambiance here."

Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great view of the beach. The staff were welcoming and helpful with questions. The description of beach access meant walking across the seawall to get to the beach. Probably best to walk the 1/2 block to a traffic light to cross the seawall street safely."
