Disliked: Amenities
This property was cute and great for the price! We were disappointed that in order to reach good food and most activities, you had to cross a ferry to Galveston. This took about 2hrs both ways, so a 4 hour time commitment to do so. Also I only gave 4 stars because we saw quite a few roaches of various sizes at the hotel. We did appreciate how dog friendly they were.

Convenient and Close to Beach and Restaurants
Convenient place to stay as no other hotel accommodations nearby. The room was large and clean. We literally used it to shower and sleep. We spent all day at the beach. You can tell it has been updated. I would like to have a mattress cover and sheets that didn’t constantly come off the corners. The tv was great if you use apps. Maybe work on the hospitality. Coffee pots in the rooms would be a plus. Did not like parking in the back. Seemed a little sketchy. There was on old rusted out bicycle missing a wheel on the sidewalk by our room. Just added to the sketchiness. Minor things to address that I feel could add to the appeal. The price was good and seemed fair. No breakfast offered but could buy snacks and drinks in the office.
