Galveston Beach Hotel
The beach access, the staff, and the bed was excellent! However, the shower was a bit dirty we had to clean it & the light switch was almost broken. The breakfast was pretty good. For the price I’d say it was pretty decent.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Galveston West Seawall
This property has changed over the last couple of years that we have been staying there. The room is not as clean, the refrigerator is run down looks like teenagers have caused the damage. Breakfast has totally changed, now serving frozen eggs, no meat, no potatoes, could not even call it a continental ...
