Wingate by Wyndham Galveston Beachfront at the Seawall

2/10 Terrible

"For the price, you would expect a well kept property - outside and inside. That is not what you get here. As soon as we pulled up we had to double check the address, it was very run down. We get placed in a room on the first floor and as soon as we walked in you could tell how run down it was. The shower tiles were coming up, the shower curtain was dirty and moldy, we didn’t see it until the next morning, but the shower towels were dirty, the bed looked like it had mold on it, and the “repairs” that were done in the room were obvious and covered with paint. When I brought these issues up to the guy at the front desk, he tried to play them off. He explained the moldy looking bed as “the cleaning ladies mop bucket brushing up the side of the bed” and just said “those are our towels?” When I showed him pictures of the towels. He offered no apology just excuses. Poor poor experience."

Gaido's Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel for the money. Location: Great. On the Seawall. Get the gulf view. Worth the extra. Breakfast: Very good for a guy. Eggs, sausage, biscuit and gravy plus the normal cold foods. Same thing every day. A heads up, no indoor seating and outdoor you’ll have sea gulls harassing you as expected. Staff: Helpful and friendly. Please tip the breakfast staff. They work hard and handle the crowded space well. Parking: Free and adequate. Room: Dated but clean and suitably maintained. Everything is cutely color coordinated. Pool: Outdoor. I didn’t use but looks as good as most hotels. Well suited for children, but also has attached full bar. Extra amenity: large area of AstroTurf and a place to shower off beach sand on backside of hotel. Interesting history: Take time to read about the Gaidos family online and the sign in the pleasantly maintained garden area. Clients: Families and older enjoying vacation at beach. Friendly, talkative and earthy. Outside: Their one failure is the outside maintenance. Wooden chairs missing slats, Doors stick. Building has rotten wood. Needs paint and repair. Glad we chose it and will again."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Galveston

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been spending our holidays at this Hotel for the last three years and we could not be happier!! PROS: STAFF =Amazing & always helpful BREAKFAST= Best Breakfast I have ever had at a Hotel! Those spinach Breakfast sandwiches are so good my daughter’s trying to find out where we can purchase them!! ROOMS= Spacious Enough for my 23 yr old 16 yr old 12 yr old and myself to sleep comfortably! The TV is a great size not too big not too small The refrigerator is a full refrigerator plenty of space to have real food! Theres a sink w/ a disposal a dishwasher Dishes silverware & a toaster! There is a washer and dryer on the property for the guest. We enjoy going downstairs and playing the Foosball! The patio= is very nice you can see the batch from our room it was amazing! CONS= The Parking is too much!! The beds are a bit uncomfortable maybe put a topper on them! The sofa bed was uncomfortable it’s time for an upgrade lol! This morning there was someone mowing and blowing the grass & dirt/sand all over mine & others cars! There needs to be a pool table next to the foosball table. There needs to be a couple more washing machines & dryers. I tried for 4 days to do a load of wash and was never able to do it! The pool is so very small it’s impossible for us to ever swim! But even though there are some negatives we always choose to come back bcz the staff are amazing the breakfast is to die for & I feel safe! That’s more important than anything!!"
