The hotel stay was overall good. But needing certain accommodations like additional clean towels and linens could have been easier if we had access to the storage unit initially but when we called support they assisted us without hesitation. We had easy access to multiple tourists attractions and food venues. Lots of entertainment for the kids as well.

Fantastic condo!
I took my 8 year old daughter to this Turtle-y Awesome condo for a Mommy/Daughter get away weekend! It was a fantastic stay! Everything you could need is already included in your visit including beach towels! The only issue we had is that we could not get the TV to allow for guest sign in to our apps. Not a problem though because she was more than happy to watch her tablet on the provided wifi while I cooked dinner/showered. Check in was a breeze in the lobby and the facility was very well maintained. The hosts were attentive before and after our stay and even included recommendations that we loved. Will definitely be sharing this precious condo with others that want to check out Galveston!

Clean, Safe, Great location… Would stay again!
The condo was very clean!! Great location. I would stay here again! :) The person working front desk was welcoming and helpful. Extra safety measures… My niece and I felt completely safe… security guards were walking the parking lot throughout our stay. The elevator for this unit is in the main lobby, near the check-in desk. Parking for this unit was easy and there were several spaces available directly in front of the main lobby doors. Host was easy to communicate with through text or email. And because I booked last minute, (day before), I was asked to confirm the charge by sending a photo of me holding my drivers license and my credit card with matching names to ensure the credit card and license were not from a stolen wallet.

Great place to stay for a couple or couple and small kids
This was a great place to stay. The unit was cute and clean. Great location right across from the Seawall. My only negative would be the bed against the wall in the bedroom. Had to climb over to get out. It’s a really small room so probably not many options. Maybe get rid of nightstand and have a little room on each side. The unit is small so I think more than two adults and maybe small kids it would be super tight. It was just my husband and I and it was just fine. Would stay there again.
