Friendly staff, especially the gentleman who makes the omelets. Also, Katie in the spa gave me one of the best massages I have ever had in my life, and I have had many. Thank you Katie!

Inn at The Waterpark
Our stay was good, even though we never got the extra towels we asked for and the cleaning staff never came by after we asked them to clean our room. We also didn’t receive a call back after someone pulled the fire alarm for the false alarm other than those things the stay was very enjoyable.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston West-Seawall
Breakfast was the best part of the hotel. The staff was also wonderful. The hotel is very run down and smells bad, even in the rooms. The partial ocean view is a tiny view of a wave barely over the roof of the building.
