La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Galveston West Seawall
Easy parking, easy to navigate the building. A basic breakfast selection but does the job! Room was spacious, bed was super comfy. Internet streaming access. Great pool area, but was lacking towels. Very menial complaints that were outweighed by all the pros that this property offered.
