Top Galveston Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here before a cruise and was able to leave our vehicle here instead of the port for a much cheaper rate. The room was perfect could see the ocean. Room and hotel was very clean. Will absolutely stay here again."

Gaido's Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean, the room smelled awesome. The bed was heavenly. The breakfast was very good. Adorable room."

Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time here! The room was listed as a “city view” but we actually had a view of the amazing Galveston cruise ships! The property was charming and well maintained. The pool and swim up bar was relaxing and clean. The food was amazing, although we couldn’t eat in the fine dining restaurant inside the resort. My husband didn’t have a collared shirt (noted for next time) but the bar serves food and we were completely ok with that. We were ok for the restaurant at breakfast. Highly recommended for a classy stay in Galveston!!"

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

8/10 Good

"See was very helpful and allowed us to check in early."

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"The best part about our room was that it was on the 10th floor and we had no noise, we were able to reset and not have to worry about neighbors or children. The bed was not as comfortable, the bath was not ideal and those two things did put a dent in our comfort. I think that it can be over looked by hitting the pool bar, Zoe was great. The little Coconut that could was delicious but when Zoe made the bloody Mary it hit in just the right way. The inside bar had a great service as well, Wesley and Liberty fixed us up with a Espresso Martini and the Banana's Fosters was literally on fire thanks to the show Wesley entertained us with. Wesley was a great listener and helped us feel seen and at ease. The icing on the cake was dinner at the Steakhouse Marko was so great he went above an beyond to help us know exactly what to order and nothing disappointed. With some congestion starting i was not able to smell but when i mentioned it to Marko he suggested some ginger. As soon as i had it my nose cleared up and the food just got better. We had a stuffed shrimp as an appetizer, Flounder with broccolini, and the Steak special melted in your mouth. The dessert was a great end and the crème brulee always satisfies. So apart from the little mishaps the staff lived up to what we wanted and paid for. We will be recommending it and coming back."
