“A disappointment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW via mobile

I took my family on a vacation that coincided with a medical conference I was attending at Moody Gardens. Normally, we stay in a beach house with family when we come to Galveston, but we thought it would be more fun to be close to palm beach, etc since the kids are getting older (not to mention more convenient for...

“Convention review”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. Our room was recently re-decorated and the colors were very serene. Went there for a convention and I don't know if the planners or the hotel made a mistake, but there was a function for 300 people that only had seating for 50. Not good. Other than that, all hotel functions were great! Very... More

“Great week long visit!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013

I stayed here with my family for a seminar, and the stay could not have been better. The pool, Palm Beach, and cleanliness of the rooms were well above my expectations. I will continue to seek out this hotel whenever I am in Galveston for business or pleasure.

The hotel and newly renovated rooms are superior. The staff is very pleasant but not well informed. They couldn't handle simple questions or requests. We wanted to find out if they had ESPN2 so we could watch the LSU baseball game. It was on the channel list but not coming on. They spoke to us twice but just never called... More

I stayed in this hotel for business in May 2013. Rooms where very clean and confortable. Breakfast ok , no buffet i guess due to the number of guest. I did not tried other food. My company organize an event in the hotel and all was fantastic, snacks and services. Great location for company events.
