Top Galveston Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"A"

Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"This hotel boasts a fantastic location right across from the ocean and the beach. Our mid-floor room was spacious and impeccably clean, offering an absolutely stunning view. The pool and outdoor area were incredibly well-maintained, providing a lovely spot to relax in the sun. After walking for miles during the Grand Prix days before, the hot tub was a delightful way to soothe our tired legs. We were initially disappointed that the buffet breakfast was not available due to lower guest numbers in the off-season. However, Luci was both patient and accommodating, and we were offered an à la carte breakfast instead. The meals we ordered turned out to be delicious and made up for the lack of buffet variety. One observation we had—common across the various hotels we stayed at during our trip—was that the front desk staff appeared somewhat unhappy. While they were polite, there was a noticeable lack of warmth or acknowledgment when we checked in/out or entered or exited, which might be a result of the long summer season taking its toll."
