It was a lot nicer than last year, we enjoyed our stay. They also let us park our vehicle there while we were on the cruise, which I appreciate.

Excellent value!!
I stay here every time I go on a cruise because they have free cruise parking… The hotel is a bit older and the rooms reflect its age, but they’re fairly clean and very comfortable! We’ll definitely stay here again soon!

Outdated
The hotel itself needs some TLC. The room was very clean but outdated. We were only there for 1 night as we were sailing out on a cruise the next day. Do it was ok for 1 night

This was a great place to stay before our cruise. Our room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. We did not hear the ferry at all. The wonderful gentleman at the front desk was so kind and helpful. It was a bonus that we were able to leave our car here while we were on our cruise. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Galveston.

The staff were very friendly, and it felt like a safe area. The pool was very clean as well. As for the room, it was not what I expected. I saw a previous review about roaches and unfortunately, it’s true. You are given a WiFi password however the internet does not work in your room. Most people probably stay here because it is very close to the cruise terminal if that’s what your looking for.

All the employees were very nice. This property is run down and needs a lot of repair. They do have covered parking for free that’s a plus. I wish I would have paid a bit more to be closer to the Seawall, instead, we paid a lot for Uber rides.

Stayed overnight for our cruise. Nothing super fancy, but clean and safe. Parking was a great deal and called for an uber super easy for $15! Will definitely stay here again before our next cruise.

The first room i was given had one dead and one very alive cockroach inhabiting it. The smell of the room was musty, old, mildewy. I've stayed here for the free cruise parking twice but just cant stomach it afyer the most recent stay.
