My family stayed at Galveston’s Hilton for a weekend vacation . The staff was very professional at check in . The room was rather tiny but clean and beds were comfy. I’d recommend checking in early for a room with a good view. At 6pm only 1st fl or parking lot view was available . The location was outstanding as it’s close to good restaurants , beach and convention center. The best part of the hotel was the amazing pool . It was very relaxing and well staffed . I would stay here again but with an early arrival time for better room choice.

Hotel was awesome. So new and comfortable. Great lounge and bar, small nice cafe. Walkable to restaurants and the beach area. Staff was nice, but we encountered several problems with our reservation and billing. Kareem seemed new and not very knowledgeable, however, Amelia and Peggy were very helpful in getting things straightened out. I was surprised self-parking was $21, but the parking was convenient.

Worst weekend ever

Rooms were awful. Furniture is torn, they charged the wrong credit card which resulted in my regular bank account over the limit. Customer service was rude to server guests in my presents. It just wasn't a good experience.

Hung up after 5 mins or and called back ,someone picked up we told them the problem,they said to come down to the lobby to order . Went down they were not busy 3 lady’s were standing there talking amongst themselves. Someone. Took our order , it was delivered and they got the order wrong . It was resolved. The problem I have is I went there to relax and enjoy myself. Not be inconvenienced due to poor customer service.

Hilton you’ve earned 1k stars from my family & I

Check in was quick, check in is at 4 but did let us check in at 2:30, pool & bar very nice, oh goodness the beds are so comfortable, you must pay for breakfast, but it’s well worth it (buffet). Everyone that worked there definitely made you feel welcomed. As I would pass them in the halls they would ask if we were ok did we need anything! Will be booking again in September

Hilton, You never fail to disappoint. Hidden fees like parking and extra room deposit? It's not a problem if I know about it before I drive 60 miles. Price gouging on valet? That's unfair leverage (immoral business). Its just not 4 start service. I can choose the rug that slips on the tile or the water on the floor. No problem I can use my towel and then not have one for my shower. I get it, you can't get adequate staff without attitudes. And hey, if I asks to see a manager they should not just hide in the back and give me a credit, its not about the money, its about the feedback- which I never got to give. They looked at me like I am an a-hole for giving them $500 a night and being treated like a homeless person. Great

Everything was clean except the bottom of the shower when we arrived. Gray color scheme of the room was very depressing. Staff very helpful. Pool access was confusing. A permanent sign on the wall at the doors says pool is open 6 am -11 pm. There were other signs saying 9 am - 10 pm. When I asked a staff member, he didn't even know the other sign was there. Restaurant food was good.
