"Kk so we did find a bed bug. One single bug. But the hotel takes it seriously as it should and removed us from the room and gave us another ocean view from a neighboring hotel. We liked our original room and the staff was great. Moving was a hassle and took a few hours out of our day but everything was accommodated the best way I could imagine. Galveston is great and affordable. The kids loved the ocean and the rooms were great outside my child finding the little stowaway in the bed. I will stay there again."
