Outside surface of doors and their locks very scruffy and lock not functioning. Bathroom sink partly blocked. Interior very basic but good air conditioning, comfortable beds, good shower and the room clean. Reception desk a little indifferent. Free coffee and mini muffins at front desk for breakfast. No room safe. Room was quiet.

Some parts 5 star, some one star. Averages out to three star. Location is 5 star with the sound of breakers at night, large size of room and good beds. The small store near the reception desk is hit or miss: must pay in cash only, the chocolate milk was three months past its best by date, and every drink was $4. The night receptionist was very grumpy and unwelcoming. The room has updated flooring and beds but could use some tlc

We have stayed here twice, and it’s been great each time. You’re definitely not staying at the Ritz, but it’s also way cleaner, more kept, and safer than a disgusting motel in Galveston. Galveston is super hit or miss with h/motels. This place is affordable, clean, close to some spots, and RIGHT in front of the beach! Definitely will be back for a third time.
