Staff has always been friendly and easy to communicate with on all my visits here.
Property was perfect for a nice relaxing time. A quick walk across the street into the beautiful sand. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Definitely will stay again.
Outside surface of doors and their locks very scruffy and lock not functioning. Bathroom sink partly blocked. Interior very basic but good air conditioning, comfortable beds, good shower and the room clean. Reception desk a little indifferent. Free coffee and mini muffins at front desk for breakfast. No room safe. Room was quiet.

Some parts 5 star, some one star. Averages out to three star. Location is 5 star with the sound of breakers at night, large size of room and good beds. The small store near the reception desk is hit or miss: must pay in cash only, the chocolate milk was three months past its best by date, and every drink was $4. The night receptionist was very grumpy and unwelcoming. The room has updated flooring and beds but could use some tlc
We have stayed here twice, and it’s been great each time. You’re definitely not staying at the Ritz, but it’s also way cleaner, more kept, and safer than a disgusting motel in Galveston. Galveston is super hit or miss with h/motels. This place is affordable, clean, close to some spots, and RIGHT in front of the beach! Definitely will be back for a third time.
Julia is one of the best if not the best front desk staff workers I've came across

Though some may find issues with the quality of repairs and upkeep, there can be no complaints about cleanness and comfort. Very CLEAN!!!! bed, pillows, towels and sheets of good quality. Great Stay!
The parking was good. And the room was clean. Very convenient to the beach! Across the street! Only con is the shower is small and water will get on floor despite shower curtain.
Located in a great area with easy access to the beach across the street. Was clean and everything we needed for the night. Free packing as well in the property.
Good value and right on the Seawall Close to restaurants and activities. Good overall value for the location. Older building but they keep it fairly clean and kept up.

Love the views from the room and they are fairly spacious, but the tv wasn’t working most of the stay probably a signal thing
