At first I was very pleased, untill the desk manager would not work with me I work at night so I checked in at 630 am, I was out by 5 that afternoon. I stopped at the front desk to see if I could rent the room for five more hours. I didn't even mind paying 20 or so dollars. The woman said she would check with the manager and call me. I ended up calling them back the next morning ,because no one called me, so I explained to the manager about the room and she said, normally if you stay past 11 we charge you do another day and paused. She finally asked me are you there , I said yes and this is not a normal circumstances and asked if there was someone over her I can speak with, she she said no. I told her I would check out now but I had to bring key the back. She said I did not have to bring it back and said so you want to check out now,I said he's and she hung the phone up.

the whole hotel reeked of cigarette smoke. we had two rooms for two nights and niether room got cleaned. the staff had such bad attitudes and the service was horrible. i will never stay here again

THe staff were nice enough and the price was right but the good stops there. After a hard day's work we were ready to hit the hot tub but when we got there it was GREEN with alge. It stunk and was unusable. There were holes in the ceiling and the rooms were tiny. I really can't recommend this hotel.

We stayed over night here July 25th 2009, it was awesome! Our group was two single mothers and three kids all under eight years old...We booked a non-smoking room with two queen beds and a desk...I just knew it would smell like smoke but it didn't!!! I was so surprised! The non-smoking rooms are in a completely seperate building and no where near smokers! The desk cleark was nice and we had no problem getting about ten extra towels after getting out of the pools! There are two pools and a great , GREAT hot tub! One pool is really shallow and right buy the hot tub so little kids can have fun too while mom relaxes in the hot tub!! The pool area as a whole was really impressive, in that it is completely landscaped with great plants and a beautiful Cactus garden I really wanted to take home with me! They really made the whole pool courtyard beautiful! The room was really big and there was plenty of space and even a recliner in the room. I also noticed that the mattress look brand new...It was a great night sleep!
The next morning we went in for the "free breakfast" and were really impressed with the nice set-up waiting for us. There was fresh fruit, sweet rolls/muffins/bagels/cinnamon and raisin bread with an assortment of peanut butter/cream cheese and jellies. They also had oatmeal and four different name brand cerels...four juices and milk, plus coffee/tea...the big winner for the kids was a do-it-yourself waffle maker! They had a blast! There was an attendant in the area that kept everything filled and nothing even ran low, GREAT SERVICE!!!
I wanted to write this review because when I was planning our trip to Galveston I was really leary of the "cheap" motels...So, I tell you in all honesty, this Travelodge is great. Don't think that the $200 a night places on the Island are safer or better...this place was just great and a real BARGIN! Plus it is really just minutes down I-45 to the beaches! I will stay here the next time we go to Gaveston/Kemah and reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a family friendly place.
