The rooms were not very clean, the bath tub had a big glob of caulk on it. The first night we got there the TV didn’t work. The whole hotel smelt muskie. Floors in lobby were filthy. Had to ask to have room cleaned, as much as you have to pay we should not have to ask to have room cleaned. Will not stay here again

First thing we saw when we were going for parking was a sign”park at your own risk. Hotel not responsible” the place already looked unsafe and then that signed made it all worse. Then the smell at the elevator horrible . It smelled like cheap old hotel. The room felt dirty the sheets the whole experience was not good.

Not great

Beds were advertised as queens but they were doubles and they were really bouncy so anytime the other person moved you woke up. Worn, heavily used pillows. The building itself was falling apart and they have clearly put no real effort in upkeep. The tiles in our bathroom were cracked and coming up from the floor. Desk chair was broken and you couldn’t sit upright in it, balcony door was warped and didn’t seal. We thought it was going to be the Holiday Inn at the Pier - which is really nice - but it was more like an old Quality Inn. Real bad shape.

The view was worth the stay

So my experience with this hotel was ok the staff was 100% excellent very kind and friendly no issues at all with that but with the hotel I found it to be old and not so great with appearance, kinda smelled like mold in the building and the walls kinda scared me, I don’t know if it’s because we were near the beach but it made me fell uncomfortable since I have visual sensory issues. Overall I give it 5/10 score.

Place was quiet. Comfy bed. Very friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. I enjoyed the complementary breakfast because the lady who served it was always welcoming. I spent several days here and this Holiday inn will be part of the nice memories of Galveston, TX.

Definitely would stay here again!

The staff was amazing. Robert was very Friendly and helpful as was the lady that was there when we checked out. I don't know her name but I think she had glasses and a nose piercing. Breakfast had alot of options. The room was clean, beds were comfortable. Even the sofa bed was comfortable. The pool was nice and the outdoor shower was very convenient when we came back from the beach which is right across the street.
