Got a super deal using "name your own price" bidding on a popular travel website, and stayed at this Holiday Inn on Sun-Thurs nights. It was a great stay. I believe this is a 3 star hotel, which makes it a bit nicer than some of the value rooms. Great beds, linens, maid service. I especially loved the balcony facing... More

We were in Galveston to celebrate her 16th b'day. I called the priority club and I was able to get a room at the Holiday... More

We thought we had booked a different Holiday Inn without a nightclub. Even on high floors you can hear the music and identify the songs! Over-priced and very disappointing despite wonderful staff. The next day we went on the Disney Magic cruise. Unbelievably brilliant!

Stayed one night and was very pleased. Typical Holiday Inn, but enjoyed having full Restaurant on site, don't see this very often except in higher end hotels. The room was big and comfortable. Will stay here again.

I took my two kids, one five and one thirteen, to Galveston for Spring Break 2013. The hotel was perfect for us. It's right across the street from the beach, has a very nice and well kept pool and a super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our room was only on the second floor, so we couldn't view the beach that... More

We stayed at this hotel for a recent meeting. I've never experienced a friendlier or more polite staff. It's too bad the weather didn't cooperate with our stay - but a clean hotel in a pretty place in Texas.

This hotel is located on the Seawall facing the beach so great location. The rooms are clean with modern decor but you can tell the bones of the hotel are old. Staff was nice and each room appears to have a view of the gulf. The downside of this hotel was the noise level. There is a restaurant/bar downstairs and... More

This hotel is much nicer than the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort. This hotel is clean and comfortable. It has well appointed rooms and ample parking. It is located across from the Gulf of Mexico and the beach. I recommend asking for a high floor. The rooms on the lower level floors appear to have the view of the Gulf blocked... More

Stayed here for New Year's Eve in 2011 and went to see Radio London and had a very nice dinner there. Was a wonderful night. Went back and saw another band that was good in September 2012. The hotel is nice and the staff is good too.
