So who stays in the room at the beach. Seawall frontage, great location. They've redone the pool area and its lovely'. Landscaped with shade. Looks like they are adding a poolside bar. And the view is awesome. The rooms are quite plain, but very clean. The beds were very comfy, more so than many more expensive hotels. And the staff... More

We just needed a room for after the Galveston Wine Festival so I wasn't expecting even a Holiday Inn type room but - first, I made my reservation through galveston.com to get the extra coupons, but it never made it into the hotel system so I had no room. The only ones available were smoking and that smell gives me... More

We loved this place! Granted, we like local places more than the big chains and are open to the surprises that can come with going local. Our room was very basic--no iron or hair dryer, not even a clock. However, it was clean, had a very comfortable bed, and had a nice breakfast setup--including both hot (eggs, burritos, waffles) and... More

I came to Galveston for quick beach weekend. Didn't need a fancy hotel - just something clean and close to the beach. Gaido's fit the bill. I also stayed in room 250 - can attest to the new mattesses - slept very well. Room featured 2 double beds, a small table and chairs, bureau, and flat screen TV. The sink... More

after all of the negative reviews I was scrambling for a new hotel 2 days prior to our arrival. Because it was Easter weekend, the prices elsewhere were crazy. We decided to give it a try and stick with our reservation. So glad we did. We stayed 2 nights prior to a cruise with our 2 kids. We had an... More

We stayed at this hotel the night before a 7 night cruise. I have never written a bad review, and I'm sorry to do it but this motel was pretty awful. We had two rooms and we were planning on leaving our cars here because they offer free cruise parking, however after we saw the motel and got in our... More

This inn was too expensive for what you get. The rooms have no charm and the hotel was noisy. The location is good and the breakfast was ok but bring it back to your room or eat outside because the breakfast room is small and charmless. Customer service was poor. We left something in the room and they said they... More

This is a budget accommodation - as long as you have reasonable expectations, you won't be disappointed. Nice location right in the waterfront but the rooms facing the street get a lot of street noise. Great pool, nice people, full breakfast for free. No complaints for the price we paid, but I might choose a room at the back to... More
