It was just ok. The site is just old. The view is good, but not a lot of viable amenities during this time of year. Breakfast was slightly odd.
Motel is very old. You could see outside around the door even when the door was closed. Very low water pressure in shower. Staff was kind and very friendly.

This is true Galveston at its finest. It's a historic family owned property. I loved the experience. Staff is awesome.
Very dirty. Everything on the property was dirty. People staying here were very questionable. My husband was incredibly unhappy with me for choosing this place to stay. I recommend staying anywhere but here. I tried to support local businesses but next time I will spend the money for a better stay elsewhere.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rafael Piña and Ms. Erin were especially attentive to us and did everything they could to make our stay truly special.

This hotel was the best I’ve stayed at. Best part of the stay was the breakfast! How relaxing it is to wake up and go eat some good breakfast. And the pool was really clean and nice and they have vending machines if you need a snack and bowling area for the kids to play and the rooms were clean and how nice it was to take a bath in the perfect hot water they had in the rooms. Will definitely stay here again.

The room wasn't neglected, just outdated and the staff was helpful.
The location of the hotel is directly across the road from the beach. Hotel is of older age, but the room was decorated with character and was comfortable. Enjoyed the chairs outside on the balcony. The free breakfast offered the next morning made this place a true gem to stay at. The ladies in the breakfast room were welcoming and the choice of breakfast foods were amazing. I hope those ladies are there the next time we visit. They are the true charm of the hotel.
The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were polite and helpful, and the location was perfect. We appreciated the quiet atmosphere and easy check-in. Overall, a pleasant stay.
