Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The staff at Holiday Inn Resort on the Beach 5002 Seawall Blvd, Galveston are on their game. I think it's been renovated recently. Everything in the room was new, clean, worked and functional fast elevators. It's about time these beach hotels provide a great experience. Too many times it's top dollar for lousy service and accommodations. Maybe internet reviews are changing the game somewhat. I know it's difficult to constantly provide a quality product as hard as these places get hit, but as much as they charge they should. Thanks Holiday Inn."
