While I will whole-heartedly rate this 5 stars all the way, I must admit to initially being a bit disappointed by the room vs. the photos you see online for this place. I do plenty of research before booking and from what I could tell, this hotel was by far the most amazing deal. I booked it, continued to look at photos asking myself if this was for real? Truth is, no... It isn't for real because most of the photos I found were of the larger units with amazing full kitchens and jacuzzi tubs....

Had only an overnight stay for an early appt at Shriner's the next morning. No complaints whatsoever. We loved the indoor pool and hot tub. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We had a 2 double bed suite with fold out couch. Everything was clean. Staff was friendly and checked with us to ask if our room was ok. The breakfast was plentiful and had a variety of choices.

This was our first visit to this hotel in the Galveston area. We come for dickens on the strand each year. We love the proximity to the beach and some other nearby attractions. The front desk staff was often unavailable or scarce. The breakfast was wonderful. The facility is very nice. There is also posted ours on the door of the bar, but when we inquired, they said the bar was closed until a later time.

Stayed for a night before a cruise. Mardi Gras party made lots of noise, but we stayed in our quiet and very nice room. Disaster struck the next day after we boarded our ship. Discovered that I’d left all my medication at Hotel with 45 minutes before sail away. Peggy, front desk staffer, immediately jumped in her car and brought my meds to the ship in the nick of time. Talk about above and beyond service, this was it!! Saved my vacation, and I’ll always remember Peggy and the Galveston Hilton.
