Galveston Beach Hotel
Front desk clerk was nice. Liked the balcony. Had trouble with hot water and water pressure but maintenance couldn’t correct the problem. Only one elevator was working at check in but check out day neither elevator was working. Lots of trips up and down the stairs was no fun for seniors. No meat ...
