Top Galveston Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s right next to a baller spot on beach. Staff was helpful as there was issues with a few things. However made everything right/so I recommend ya stay the night!"

Gaido's Seaside Inn

8/10 Good

"The location is amazing. Right across from the beach with plenty of restaurants close by. We stayed on 4th of July weekend and the fireworks were shot off the jetty right by the hotel. Very convenient. The room was nice but the bathroom was dated. Not an issue for us but some may complain. Plenty of parking in the back lots but only one car in those lots per room. There was additional off site free parking offered to those that needed it. My only real complaint was that even though you have to have a wrist band for the pool, it was open to anyone entering to go to the pool bar including families with kids that were not ordering anything from the bar. There was a person monitoring the gate on the hotel side, even though it required a hotel key to access but on the street side, no one was monitoring who was coming in. It seemed (from listening to people around us) a known fact."

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was wonderful. It is located right next to the cruise ship pier and shopping/restaurants. The hotel was immaculately clean, rooms were spacious, and Dee at reception welcomed us with a big warm smile. We will absolutely stay at this hotel again!"
