Our balcony looked out to the roof of the hotel main entrance including many air conditioning units and various industrial equipment. There are additional resort and parking fees automatically charged whether or not you park a vehicle. You have to follow up to be sure the parking isn’t charged with the front desk staff who obviously deal with this issue a lot and have limited patience for the questions. The walls are thin and the comings and goings of others are loud.

Don't try to hustle extra money out of a room request, or early check in. We were asked to pay $60 for each. Needless to say we declined and checked in at 4pm and took the room that was offered. A money grab policy that we will remember the next time we book in Galveston.

Overall it was a good stay. Lobby and main area was very nice. Friendly staff. Not that it’s an issue, but I didn’t realize it was an actual motel until we got out of the elevator heading to our room. Room was updated nicely. Did see a cockroach in the room and the fan in the bathroom was very loud. Other than that, great stay. Good breakfast with large portions for the right price.

Room could have been cleaner, there were hidden fees that were not disclosed at check in and the water was extremely cold. When I advised staff, they said they turned off the hot water for maintenance but never informed the guests of this information. Staff was not very helpful and full use of amenities and the facility was not available.
