Top hotels in Midtown
Beachfront Palms Resort an Ascend Collection Hotel
Elevator smelled like oil really bad. Pictures make it seem like a nice hotel but much different when you get there. They are putting rock on the outside but it still needs lots of work inside. They need to lower the cost so people don’t think their getting a run for their money.

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center
This property is tired. I do not mind paying $450 a night for a hotel room if it is deserved. I do mind paying $450 when there’s mold in the shower around the tub, on the ceiling in the shower, the vanity trim around the bathroom mirror is cracked, and the wood cabinets in the bathroom have scratches ...

Gaido's Seaside Inn
Friendly helpful staff. When I booked the room, didnt know to check the view. So our room didnt have a view. And parking is very limited.

Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG
perfect! (except for the price) (meaning you pay the peak season sunny beach price when it's chilly and raining 3" in a day)
