Gaido's Seaside Inn

Gaido's Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent
"It is an old hotel but has been updated and the rooms are very clean. Beds are very comfortable and rooms were nice and cold!! (It's very hot out!!). Breakfast was good every morning. Staff was very nice and helpful. Swimming pool and hot tub worked well and was clean as could be with all the people and smoking area in pool/bar. Smoking area right outside your rooms is a major plus for this smoker. Two restaurants attached to hotel with good food and drinks. Small coffee pot and coffee in room, mini fridge and microwave. We stayed in the family room - plenty of room except only 1 bathroom, but toilet and shower behind closed door and vanity/sink separate. Beach was right across the street, and we just walked over to it; rented chairs and umbrella - life was good. I would definitely stay here again."

Galveston Beach Hotel

Galveston Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a very good stay! The property was nice and clean, the staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful, and the location was very convenient and close to the places we wanted to visit in Galveston. The price was also very reasonable for the area. The only issue we had was with our room keys. They repeatedly stopped working, and we had to go back downstairs several times to have them reset, which was a little frustrating. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and had a good experience overall. I would definitely consider staying here again!"
