"This was a great hotel to stay out prior to our cruise. It was very elegant, clean, and had different activities to do. The pool area was great for our family and every single one of the staff members was very helpful. We could not have asked for better service. We most definitely want to stay here again and try the steakhouse. If you want to splurge and have a great time at Galveston, do not hesitate to book this hotel because you will not regret it."

"Ethan at the bar and Cindy at the front desk were two employees I encountered, and they were excellent. Always feels good when an employee cares and doesn't make you feel like you're an interruption or just another number."
