I chose this property because of the good reviews. But upon arriving the guy at front desk told us the ac has to be kept below 65 or the floor will condensate. My wife’s shoes were soaked from being on floor. There was blood over door to room and mold on bathroom. I know the reviews say it’s good but our experience was not.

They have no water pressure in the shower in the first room. Got switch to a new room that was only a little better. The woman at the front office was rude as could be until i said something about leaving a bad review and then her attitude changed. If you plan on taking a boat make sure you have all the locks for it because the want you to only use two parking spots.Thats what the lady the first night said. The guy at the front the next day was cool and let us park on the side and leave the boat connected. Will never be going back to this location.

I absolutely loved the location and the rate. It was very clean except for the floors. But it is across the street from the seawall and it was Sandy. Will continue to be my go-to from now on when I go to Galveston

This was a great stay right on the seawall. This is a great place to stay after a day of beach fun and exploring Galveston. Didn’t come here to sit in a room all day!! Price point is spot on!
