Enjoyable stay
It was a lot nicer than last year, we enjoyed our stay. They also let us park our vehicle there while we were on the cruise, which I appreciate.

Excellent value!!
I stay here every time I go on a cruise because they have free cruise parking… The hotel is a bit older and the rooms reflect its age, but they’re fairly clean and very comfortable! We’ll definitely stay here again soon!

Outdated
The hotel itself needs some TLC. The room was very clean but outdated. We were only there for 1 night as we were sailing out on a cruise the next day. Do it was ok for 1 night

The staff were very friendly, and it felt like a safe area. The pool was very clean as well. As for the room, it was not what I expected. I saw a previous review about roaches and unfortunately, it’s true. You are given a WiFi password however the internet does not work in your room. Most people probably stay here because it is very close to the cruise terminal if that’s what your looking for.

Stayed overnight for our cruise. Nothing super fancy, but clean and safe. Parking was a great deal and called for an uber super easy for $15! Will definitely stay here again before our next cruise.

Clean remodeled room with tile flooring, with microwave and fridge. I did not see an iron or ironing board, but that was ok for one night. Great deal for lodging and parking while cruising for 9 days. If you are looking for a budget-friendly place, this is it. They offer transportation arrangement with a third party to the port, you sign in upon check in, and they will pick you up and take you to your cruise very affordable.

20th century Upgrade
Old building that should be totality rebuilt to accommodate the present lodging amenities of the 20th century being located at the entrance & exit point of the Galveston ferry depot. The lodging rates not don’t measure up to the accommodations or amenities of present day times.
