Clarion Pointe Galveston - Beachfront
The room was clean, the staff was friendly and the area was quiet. We definitely felt safe. The only problem was the bed wasn’t really that comfortable but it was big. We would definitely stay again.

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21
The room was great! The size, the bed and the size of shower. I'm not sure what the other rooms are like but I will recommend room 311 to anyone that stays there. The desk clerk was not always available but we were able to make due on our own. Will definitely return!
