Top Old Central Hotel Reviews

Gaido's Seaside Inn

8/10 Good

"Okay so we stayed for 5 days. The rooms at first glance, are adorable. We didn't see any bugs it smelled nice. The bathroom was clean. But there is mold on the ceiling. The rooms get very humid if the a/c is above 64, hence the mold. Another thing was the cable they use went out anytime it rained. So we were stuck without tv when the rain came. Because of the storm we lost power and it would have been nice if they came around with games or something considering we were stuck inside without power. The breakfast was pretty good but the ladies that served it were the best part lol. The pool was okay but it felt like they needed to go through and net it because of the bugs. Also, many of the chairs to layout in were broken. The hot tub, though was crystal clear and heated well. Every staff member was kind and if we needed towels or anything just had to ask. For the most part we enjoyed our stay!"

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is right across Seawall Drive from a good beach and walking distance to some restaurants and ice cream. The pool area is beautiful with palm trees surrounding it. I wish they had an outdoor shower near or in the pool area to clean off after the beach. Our beds were very comfortable and the room had been cleaned, but just needs a deep clean. The toilet seat was warped and needs replacing and the toilet was hard to flush- we had to hold it down for a few minutes and then jiggle the handle to stop the water from running. Breakfast was great with very tasty hot options as well as cold and a lot of seating options nearby."

TRU BY Hilton Galveston

10/10 Excellent

"I had booked three rooms (Beachside) Hotel is located right across the street from the Beach. Staff was super friendly. We came early and they gave us access to their pool and parking pass so we could wait until our rooms were ready!!! Rooms itself were spacious, clean and had a small refrigerator, ironboard! Beds were comfortable! Bathrooms had everything needed … shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and hand soap as well as hair dryer!! We had a great experience!!"
