Galveston Beach Hotel
The area was not to bad . Just wished the room was a little bit cleaner . It smell like someone left a wet towel through the night . Also you have very small hard pillows. You should feel more comfortable but it was ok. The staff was very helpful and very friendly.

Motel 6 Galveston, TX
Only complaint is the WiFi never works and no fridge, iron, or microwave in room. Other than that rooms look recently remodeled. Plenty of parking.

Baymont by Wyndham Galveston
The breakfast menu had powdered eggs, bread, cereal, waffles, and yogurt. It was ok in quality. After breakfast times the areas were cleaned and tables put up, so no area to just sit. Towels were clean and the rooms were ok. Unfortunately, I started getting spam calls after I booked my room ...
