“The ONLY thing I have to say could have been better was the bed could use an update. The mattress wasn't fantastic. However, the service at this hotel is excellent. I am so thankful to the staff here. I left a very sentimental item on accident before I boarded a cruise. They found it, held on to it, and shipped it home to me when I was finally able to call them again due to not having service. Everyone was very nice and so helpful. I am extremely grateful to the staff here. Our room itself was very nice. Plenty of room for our family, loved having a balcony room with ocean view, and the breakfast had plenty of options. I will absolutely stay here again my next trip to Galveston.”

“The ocean view was absolutely amazing! We loved waking up to the sunrise on New Year’s Day—it was breathtaking and the perfect way to start the year. Breakfast was really good too, and the staff working there were incredibly kind and attentive. They cleared tables super quickly and kept everything refilled without us even having to ask. Such great service! This place made our stay so special—highly recommend for anyone wanting beautiful sea views and warm hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Canyon checked us in and was very professional and nice!! Omler was the night clerk and he was a valuable asset to Best Western! Promotion is in his future for sure. The room was clean and comfortable! The view was outstanding! Having a ocean front hotel is super COOL! The pool and hot tub were divine! The coffee maker in the lobby was better than than 95 percent of other hotels. Breakfast was great including the Texas shaped waffle! Bacon was cooked just about perfect. The parking lot was well marked and security seemed to be good.”

“We love this hotel. It's right across the street from the beach. Everry room faces the ocean. And close to many restaurants as well. We got 2 queen beds and the room was really spacious. Breakfast is pretty good too and free wifi of course.”

“I’m genuinely not sure about the not so great reviews. More than bang for the buck. Front staff was warm and welcoming, checked in a jiffy, plenty of parking, coffee/water at lobby, super spacious suite room with ocean view balcony & chairs, excellent breakfast spread with Texas shaped pancakes & my favorite Folgers coffee. Been a loyal Marriott customer but this one visit changed my perspective totally. Rooms are very open, spacious, huge and not claustrophobic. Comes with a dedicated work table, sofa bed and another personal chair/couch to unwind. Bed is very comfortable and crystal clean sheets and bathroom. Will definitely visit this property again. Best Western you have definitely won a customer.”

“My 7yo Granddaughter and her best friend 8yo and I just got back from Galveston. This hotel was clean, comfortable, quiet and the staff was amazing. The Front desk staff and the house-keeping staff were so friendly and accommodating. My only complaint (and it is a big ONE) is that the times that breakfast available from 6am-9am. I don't know of too many people on vacation that want to set their alarm to go eat breakfast. We were there 4 mornings and did not get to enjoy the free breakfast one single day!!!!!!!! We stayed busy during the day at the beach and other tourist attractions and then the girls went to the pool every night until they closed at 10pm. It was late I know to get kids that age to bed, but on vacation I understandably let them stay up later. Every morning they slept till almost 10am. I think that management should consider maybe serving breakfast from 7am-10am. That way the early risers can still have breakfast and then the rest of us who sleep in a bit on vacation, would also be able to enjoy breakfast. I go to the beach every year with my Granddaughter and if next year they have not changed breakfast times, I will stay elsewhere.”
