Beachfront Palms Resort an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place if you’re on a budget. I’ve paid way more for not so nice. Clean rooms and clean beds."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Galveston

2/10 Terrible

"Very very dirty and smelly room. Smells like an old abandoned basement. Stains on the carpet, sticky floor, dirty toilet, comforter Grey yellowish color, looks like 100 years old and never been washed. Some motels better quality, I wish would never pay 170 dollars for this mess and never stay there. If you have options avoid this mess."

Wingate by Wyndham Galveston Beachfront at the Seawall

6/10 Okay

"My room was ok, it was clean at check in. One floor towel, one shower towel thats it. Comforters were in the closet for some reason. Breakfast was not good at all. Waffle mix was watered down and only had 2 cereal options. Some fruits, bread and croissants. Apple juice, orange juice and watered down coffee. It's a cheap no frills motel across from the beach. They do charge $15 a day for parking."
