We visited Galveston after traveling from McKinney, Texas, but we reached our destination at 3 a.m. Despite booking a hotel room for the same day, we were asked to pay an additional fee of $70 for early check-in. As I had never encountered this issue before at any motel or hotel, I was unable to pay the fee, and we had to sleep in our car. However, checking in at 3 p.m. was quick and easy, but upon entering our room, we found a dead roach near the toilet and an unflushed toilet, indicating a lack of cleanliness. Additionally, when I opened the fridge, a roach crawled out. Due to the hotel's location and the suspicious individuals surrounding it at night, particularly at the nearby gas station, I would advise against bringing children here. The overall experience was disgusting.
