Probably the best hotel since we never had any issue with it. Clean, closer to beach, staffs are awesome. House keeping seems to be every 3 days which can be a bit inconvenient to others

Pre cruise stay
Booked this place for a few days before our cruise out of Galveston. Great location and lots of good eats within walking distance of hotel. The beach is just across the road and getting around is easy with easy uber access. Staff was nice and professional, place was newer and very friendly with a nice bar and pool. Good breakfast included.
