My room was clean and updated. The AC was cold and the fan in the room provided excellent circulation. The room was also very spacious and the pool was well kept. The grounds were clean and the staff pleasant and helpful. For the price, it was an excellent value.

Not what we were expecting from the photos we saw on Expedia… their pool is amazing definitely the best one we've seen in a while and the staff was very welcoming and helpful... the exterior of the facility looked like it had been decorated by a street artist and the beds were comfortable… However our only problem was that our room was very moldy as was evidence by us both having pretty bad reactions ...we did not ask for a room change as we were exhausted but by four in the morning we were both so bad we left and the reactions promptly went away. So if you're allergic to mold definitely ask for a second floor room ... the staff I'm sure would have accommodated us if we had the energy to ask…

The room was large and comfortable. The hotel is not on the water and there is no ocean view. There is also not much to do on the Bolivar Peninsula nd we wound up taking the ferry to Galveston for dinner.

Very happy with my stay. My only issues would be I could not connect to WiFi so unable to really use the tv or connect my devices to stream programs and the sleeper sofa in the room was not usable. Other that that I would definitely stay again.

Rooms are good for a one night stay, but need some repairs. TV dish was out so we did not have any TV to watch, not even local channels worked. Light from lamp was broken, so there was poor lighting in the evening.

The mattress was old and stained. The stairwell was filthy. The room had a horrible stench and started to trigger my wife's asthma. The furniture was falling apart. The sofa was frayed and stained. There were ants everywhere outside. There was no elevator to the 2nd floor. They have just slapped on new paint, but it is already falling apart. I believe the stench is a disingenuous attempt to cover up the smell of the building rotting from the inside out.
