Michael (door check-in) and Ericka (reception) are truly exceptional staff members! Long story short, they bent over backwards to help us get checked in!! We were driving when the message came in requesting updated CC Info. My bank had sent me a new Card, which replaced the info I’d given 4 months ago. However, we arrived within the check-in window, and I was very disappointed to learn that Hilton had cancelled our reservation. We ended up getting rooms other than the ones I’d chosen.

I did not like the outside of my window construction noise from early morning to late afternoon. Noise inside the lobby from morning to night. Valet parking attendate, while leaving or returning not available. My bill not available at checkout due to computer down. I should have stayed in a motel to have received better service celebrating my 83rd birthday. Shameful the way you all are operating the hotel. Wasted a lot of money and time. These are facts and not lies. YOUR ARE THE HILTON charging me for such poooooor service. Shameful. I need a genuine apology from your director. We saved for two months to afford 5 nights in room 326 at the Hilton Galveston hotel. Disgraceful.

Our bathroom was dirty with blond hair in the shower (my husband and I are black with black kinky hair); the breakfast was misleading. It was set up like continental breakfast until they came out with a check..we paid $48 for continential type breakfast and it wasn’t hot..other than that the stay was fine…the location was great!

IF it is now standard for the Hotel industry to charge guests a daily parking fee. Then it would be less of a surprise if that fee was included on the overall price of whatever a persons hotel stay is. Paying hundred of dollars or more to stay in a hotel, and then come check in time, to be charged for parking daily for whatever the duration of the stay is. Is simply unabashed greed. The wife and I, shall not visit Galveston again. That whole place has become tourist trap, with the game of trying to see how much money they can squeeze a person dry for!

Customer service was great, Dylan was very helpful upon my checkin. Dylan, gave me some vouchers that included a free appetizer at Landry’s which was right next door to the hotel. However, once I got to my room, it smelled like mildew. We called the front desk and they helped us out immediately switching rooms for us. After a few hours of being in the room we spotted a cockroach, we saw no more for the night. Then during the next night another cockroach appeared. The room was clean, however there were multiple stains on the pillows that were possibly just stains that could not get out after washing. The comforter was shedding a lot, also considering it was a white comforter during the daytime we could see through the comforter which was disgusting, seeing black cotton inside the comforter.

Great spot but grateful we were allowed to use the pool next door at the other resort because there was no advance notice that the pool and hot tubs and sauna would be down during our visit. With annual maintenance being something that is scheduled in advance, it’s bothersome they don’t communicate with us.

Unfortunately, I didn’t had a good experience in my stay when we got there they said the room is ready they gave us the key went upstairs. The room is horrible shape they took the sheets off to replace it was not done at all. All the trash was inside from previews person anyway, they told us the room is ready, which was not ready at all. We had to come back, sitting in the lobby for three hours until 430 then they gave us another room because it’s still the room was not ready for the second time we went upstairs and Managment didn’t do anything to make us happy in August and the second thing they had their remodeling in process which in the website was saying the remodeling is between January to February 1 and unfortunately they didn’t say still is going on while we were there and the pool area was completely closed which when my book they were talking about how beautiful is the pool is and there is a bar in there but unfortunately, the old were closed down for us. We cannot we couldn’t enjoy any of those as well or they was horrible. The room itself was comfortable after of course they gave us the clean room, overall not a good experience
