Top Pelican Island Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Select Galveston - Beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Baymont by Wyndham Galveston

10/10 Excellent

"We live locally but had a late function in Galveston that we decided to not drive home afterwards. Staff greeted us pleasantly and the check-in process was painless. Room was clean and spacious. It was a hidden gem! We both slept well. The only issue we had was breakfast. There were so many people, nowhere to sit, and the buffet area was insane. The staff tried to keep up, but ultimately I just grabbed a cup of coffee and went back to the room. Our room had a balcony but if you have to pay extra, it isn’t worth it. Ultimately would stay again if the need arises. Hope this helps!"
