We last minute decided we to go to Galveston for the weekend. HJ staff was friendly. Breakfast is oatmeal, cereal and muffins. The room we clean, HOWEVER, the carpet was not. It was sticky and very...gross. I am sure it is simply time to update. Otherwise, it was an average, affordable stay for a last min trip.

Friendly Staff - Didn't like the environment

The staff is very friendly, and the room was surprisingly spacious. Plus, parking is free. However, there were two major drawbacks: the room reeked of cigarette smoke, and the smell was so overpowering that leaving the door open didn't help. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the train tracks meant we were disrupted by loud trains passing by at least five times a night. It's a good option if you are looking for something cheap and only one night.

Well I checked out on the 27th , was told the incidental fee was refundable but now that I checked out I have not received it yet. That 50.00 was to go back to my mom and I know there was no damage to the room as I know how to take care of things but I need that 50.00 to give back to my mom.igs not right to not be picking up the phone as I am needing that money back and why tell me it's refundable when I checked out and not even giving it back

Pre cruise stay

Did the job for a pre cruise night stay. No frills. Just a room and a parking space. Tv worked and the bathroom was adequate. The motel is dated but upgraded where it counts - the bed and flooring.
