Galveston East End Historic District Hotels

"I was greeted with a friendly welcome, which was short-lived when I questioned my bill. Turned out they add a $15/day fee for parking, which was never brought up, and the lady at the front desk would not compromise. The room was what I reserved but very dilapidated with half-done repairs to the walls. One of the quilts on the beds was markedly dirty and had not been washed. I went back to the front desk, and the lady did not want to give me a clean quilt. I just stood there, so she went to get her husband, who came out and didn't want to help me either. He said -and I quote - "Ma'am, we don't have many things here," implying they didn't have any extra quilts. I replied, "You don't have ANY clean quilts anywhere?" He rolled his eyes and told me to follow him. I followed him through the property to the laundry room where he went in and quickly returned with a folded quilt. This welcome was less than what I had hoped for after a long drive. It honestly was a horrible stay. The cockroaches were more welcoming than the front desk. HOWEVER, the checkout process was smooth and friendly (there was another man who checked us out). And I noticed that other families were enjoying the free breakfast. I didn't poke around to see what was served, but the general mood was joyful. I would never recommend this hotel, and if you are left with no other hotel options, there's always camping, which would be 1,000% better."

"we had a great experience. Everyone was so nice. It was convenient to the beach and also to go to the other side to the Bayside. It’s a beautiful hotel. The management and staff were very nice and gracious and helpful coffee spot on location. Pools were heated and wonderful I recommend."

"I don’t have words to explain how much unhappy I was there never again"

"Great location! We enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant!"

"This is a beautiful old home! Our room was lovely--it could have been cooler, but a large fan was provided and that was all we needed to make it great. Walking distance (past other beautiful homes) to the Strand, Vargas and lots of other dining."

"Exactly what I wanted - simple and clean plus ocean front. Its no frills, but the ocean view and price (plus very clean) more than makes up for that. On site parking was easy."

"Staff was wonderful and breakfast was awesome highly recommended "

"It was fantastic! The hotel was clean and beautiful!!! The even allowed us to park our car there while we went on our cruise. Would highly recommend to everyone!!!"

"It is in the Historic District of Galveston, It is an older home that was built in the 1800's. The staff and Host was wonderful. They do provide private parking and with that they will take you to and pick you up from the cruise terminals, this at a additional charge. Could not have asked for better. We will be booking there again."
