The staff were friendly. They just need some updates to the rooms. My AC unit squeaked and squeeled all night. The ceiling in the bathroom constantly flakes off getting white specks on anything you leave in there. The location was great. The pool was fun.

For starters, at check-in they tried to charge us an additional incidental fee for each of the 2 nights. We explained that the room, parking, and incidental had been paid that morning even tho we had selected to pay at arrival- peculiar to select pay at hotel but force us to pay earlier in the day to keep our reservation, per their policy as they stated. A different staff member stepped in to look over the reservation to see all had been paid. We selected for the balcony with a view, apon entering our room the door to the balcony was screwed shut and the scaffolds from the construction were in front of our window. That was not the view we were looking forward to nor not having access to the balcony. The shower/bathtub combo did not drain well, stood in water well past ankle deep. There was loud commotion, hollering, cussing from other guests outside of our room- lasted about 10 minutes. No hotel staff calmed the situation and the following day other guests complained of the disgruntle guests. At checkout we inquired compensation due to not being able to use our balcony as we paid over $600 for 2 nights. They removed the 2 $10 parking fees…. needless to say we will not stay at this location again.

Great staff and amazing pool and pool side bar open in the afternoon-evening only. Hotel has nice family restaurant with reasonable prices and great food. Breakfast is not included in the price of the room. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants, Rainforest Caffe is next door. Right on the beach. Unfortunately rooms are in poor condition, need renos badly but also not clean, filthy bathrooms and bedsheets not changed after previous guests!! When reception sees reservations made on Expedia the worst rooms are assigned. Ours was above entrance roof with huge noisy AC units and restaurant vents blowing hot air right into our window, could not really use the balcony at all and there was weird smell. If you book through online travel sites check your room first before moving all your luggage in. Little convenience store advertised in the hotel description was always closed, there were no activities for the kids, not even a movie. Games room and little arcade room was open so at least something fun for the kids. Also despite great beach there are no swimming signs almost everywhere in Galveston and water quality is very poor. So recommend Swimming only in the pool which is really great at this hotel.
