I don't understand why other reviewers are giving this hotel low marks other than they wanna pay beer prices and expect a champagne stay. The price was a little high, but I get it. It's summer and Galveston is a beach town. The hallways were a tad dirty from people who had went to the beach or the pool, but to me, that is to be expected there. The room was very nice! We stayed in a king, and 2 queen family suite. It was very spacious. The rooms were clean and smelled fresh and the bathroom was big. The best part though? THE BEDS! OMG SOOOO COMFY! I slept like an angel on a cloud in Heaven!!! Best. sleep. ever! The breakfast was alright. I think my only complaint there was that they only had one girl trying to keep everything stocked and she couldn't keep up. Im not sure anyone could have though. All-in-all a great stay and i would definetely reccomend the hotel.

Called at 7:20am this morning to book a room. Representative on phone seemed put-out to speak with me. She provided the same rates for a lesser room than what I saw online. When I asked for an explanation of the difference (or lack thereof) in room rates, she got frustrated and replied, "Because they're just different, ma'am!" I asked to speak to a manager or someone who was more kind. She transferred me somewhere, but the phone just rang for approximately 5 minutes and nobody ever picked up the phone. Since my first impression of this place is bad I'm considering going somewhere else.

The worst experience!! First, we go to check in an hour after check in time and were told that our room was not ready, along with the other poor people in the lobby, who like myself had to stand there and wait forever while the front desk clerks completely ignored us. Second, we finally get to the room and one of the comforters had clearly not been washed as it had food on it and when I call to ask for another one, I wait so long that I finally had to go get it myself, and of course the people at the front were playing on their phones. This hotel has completely ruined my stay and I hope this review helps someone else to book another hotel down the road!

My husband and I stayed a week during the Galveston Feather Fest. The location is "west" of the main part of town but was okay for us as had a car. Due to staying a week we obtained a rate of less than $65/night not including tax. Front desk staff were very cordial and helpful. I had the feeling they had few resources as when our TV stopped working about the 5th night they offered to move us to another room but had no ability to call a maintenance person until the next day. We really didn't want to move but would have liked to watch news coverage of Boston bombing. The next day the TV was repaired (plugged into a different outlet) but the refrigerator and microwave didn't work.No maintenance staff was available to the front desk crew. I had the feeling they had circuit breaker issues. Housekeeping was sloppy, piles of towels left in the hallway apparently at the end of the day. Breakfast was as advertised. Better than many-had yogurt and fresh fruit. I'd stay again at the right price. Is located across the road from seawall--didn't have chance to walk in area but looked nice. No restaurants close by.

Stayed here for one night on 6/1/13 and was charged $215. however by the time they add all the taxes it was closer to $250! This room at best was just adequate and certainly not worth the price. It's not even located directly on the beach. Upon check in the front desk clerk had an attitude and acted as if she was doing us a favor. She gave us a room on the third floor and when we entered it stunk like meldew and did not have a balcony. I asked the housekeeping staff in the hall if there were any clean king rooms on the floor that had a balcony and she said I should check with the front desk and that the air conditioner was out in the hallway on the third floor. Went back to front desk and she said she could get us a balcony but, with two beds and on the second floor. we took it but, she certainly was not trying to accomodate us. My husband is an elite member with La Quinta since he travels frequently and I mentioned this to the clerk because the policy is to upgrade for return members she said " I see that" and dismissed us. Furnishings were adequate but, personnel and clientele were less than desirable. We talked with another guest in the elevator and she said her truck side mirror had been knocked out in the parking garage. I will not stay here again!
