Baymont by Wyndham Galveston

10/10 Excellent

"staff very nice,"

Gaido's Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the room, right by the pool and walk across the street to the beach. Sat outside our room each night and listened to the band playing at Nick’s. We loved staying on the Second floor . It is noisy at night because the walls are thin could hear our next door neighbors all night long and the cars racing up and done Seawall Blvd. The pool is nice for kids with a kiddie area. Outdoor bar and kitchen was great !! Loved the food and drinks ."

Wingate by Wyndham Galveston Beachfront at the Seawall

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and quiet location. Very close to the beach and Sewell, literally across the street! Morning coffee and a light breakfast is included. This is a great option if you want a clean room and bathroom and across from beach without spending a ton on the room. The front desk staff is also very nice! Also great AC in our room!"
