• It was amazing. I was so relaxing, I did not want to go home.
• Nothing. Everything was absolutely perfect.

“The hotel is elegant and rich in history. From the moment you give your keys to the bell hop and walk through the doors you feel like you are in luxury. The beautiful furniture, the piano player as you come in to the main lobby it was relaxing from check in to check out. I was afforded every luxury that a wealthy traveler would have and then some. You will really love the elegance of the hotel and large comfortable room you get. The beds were so comfortable, I could still be sleeping. I loved the price and could not have dreamed I would have been staying there.”

• The swim up bar, location, and free water bottles.
• You can hear everything in the hallway when you're in your room.

“The hotel was excellent, and overall met our expectations. It was bad to hear every little sound out in the hallway; makes us question how much of us could be heard in the hall. Additionally, I still don't see why 4-star hotels make you pay for the internet - when you can get free Wi-Fi even at McDonalds! However, the location was superb. The treatment by the staff was absolutely wonderful - we had an excellent time at the swim-up bar. The bartender was just the right amount of friendly. We had a great time at the Galvez, and hope to go back.”

• The pool was incredible! The hotel staff was extremely kind, professional, helpful.
• The room was on the small side, but clean and nice.

“Hotel Galvez gave a first great impression and followed through to the end. The valet/concierge was friendly and helpful. The hotel lobby was beautiful and very open. The front desk staff was very professional and nice. The hotel room was very clean and comfortable. The room was a bit small but nice. The pool was nice. Mostly shallow which I liked with a 2 year old. The swim up bar made me definitely want to return without my child, and with my husband. Would be a nice romantic place to come for anniversary.”

• The pool and the Ukrainian bar staff there was tremendous and friendly.
• The same places in certain hallways smelled like terrible armpit odor.

“The hotel overall was very nice. The hotel was clean and a great value. Great pool and bar staff of Ukrainian student workers. The hallways by many of the rooms smelled very strong of body odor. We stayed there for 2 nights and the smell was always the same as we past certain places in the hall.”

“The Galvez is a wonderful, historic hotel. The pool area is wonderfully designed and includes a swim-up bar. Very relaxing place to stay.”

• Location, cleanliness, view.
• The fire/security alarm went off during our stay early in the morning and scared my kids.

“Awesome hotel for the price. Highly recommend.”

• Very clean, nice staff, quick to help with problems.

“The hotel itself was very nice: clean, located across from nice beach, within walking distance of some nice restaurants, nice staff, etc. Our room was TINY. We ended up with a single queen room with a rollaway bed for my 5-year-old, which wouldn't be all bad if the room hadn't been TINY even for a single queen. The room I had three weeks earlier at Holiday Inn Resort probably cost about the same or less (I was at an educational seminar) for twice as much space AND the beds were MUCH more comfortable.”

• There is an elegant historical feel to this hotel.
• I loved everything about this hotel.

“From the moment you arrive at this hotel, there is no doubt you are in a special place. The ambience was incredible, architecture timeless, and the staff friendly and helpful.”

• The hotel was very clean, the beds very comfortable, maid service quick and efficient.
• They did not have a laundry or a business center. For a hotel by the beach a laundry is very helpful.

“This hotel was very beautiful and right across the street from the beach. They have valet service and self parking. The room was very nice and the beds were very comfortable. The gift shop is very nice and the employees are very helpful and friendly. The front desk staff was professional but not as friendly as the gift shop and restaurant staff. The breakfast buffet was delicious as was the room service breakfast.”

• Nice location. Decent digs.
• A little funky smelling. Unavoidable in the gulf.

“This is a nice, family friendly place in Galveston. Everything in a Beach Town is overpriced.”

• Staff was friendly, gave us a voucher for our next night, because a Tropical Storm came into Galveston.
• No fridges, or microwaves, have to pay for internet $10 per 6hrs.

“We loved our hotel, it was clean, and the staff was very friendly. A Tropical Storm came into the Gulf, towards Galveston, and the hotel gave us a voucher for our next night so we could leave. Room with two double beds is just right for a family of four. Nice parking in a parking garage right next door for free. We had to bring a cooler with us, since there is not a fridge in the room, but that was not too bad. All in all we would stay here again!”

• Beautiful!
• Expensive, no free amenities. Too many families to be romantic.

“I liked my experience. The concierge was rude, but it seems to be expected in Galveston. I was shocked when a complimentary breakfast was not provided. I would have been happy with a bagel or an apple, something. The hotel is very beautiful and the pool area makes up for a lot. Especially the bar.”

• Staff was friendly and attentive. The pool area was great and clean and not too crowded. The beach was directly across the street.
• The French Toast at the breakfast buffet was horrible but everything else was good. The waiter at the buffet had zero personality.

“Very pleased with our stay and excited to be able to visit this historic hotel. I travel a lot with my job so I've been in lot's of hotels and this was a delight.”
