This is an older hotel and no frills but the room was very clean. Our room was right next to the road so a little road noise but we were right across from the beach. The pool was nice, view from balcony was great and for the price I have no complaints. There was a security officer making rounds as... More

Room was ok, doesn't seem like the best/safest area, but the balcony was awesome. Nice to be able to sit out there at night & watch the ocean. Also, the hotel is easy access to walk to restaurants & the pier. A worker said Monday-Thursday, rooms are $70 which is fitting, but Memorial Day weekend, they charged us $182! Didn't... More

If you want luxury, don't stay here. This hotel is old and out-dated, but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the employees were friendly and very accommodating. The pool area has just been redone and is a great addition. The location on the strip is perfect. We walked to restaurants, shopping and Pleasure Pier. Be sure to... More

The negative, snobby reviews this hotel have received are quite humorous . It is quite apparent this place is not the lap of luxury and anyone who books this hotel would be able to figure this out, so the "it is not what I thought it would be and want my money back" reviews are laughable. What this hotel is:... More

Some friends and I decided to take a spur of the moment motorcycle trip to Galveston, TX. After calling around, checking Hotel.com, Expedia etc.. it was becoming apparent we were not going to get a room. Commodore came up on the sights but we needed 2 rooms or acommodations for 5 adults. I called Commodore directly and spoke to Nancy... More

This was our second stay at the Commodore, or "The Commode" as we call it. Why do we stay here? It's part of our pay for a festival we attend. So we don't pay for the room. For that reason, we stay here. We would never pay for the place. Good things - the beds have been comfortable on both... More
