Amazing Hotel, maybe not for four year olds
Reviewed By LisatedjThis hotel is beautiful with interesting history. We really enjoyed our stay. However, the only door guests are allowed to use is a revolving door, and they kept telling us to go through one at a time so it didn't slow down. However, when my four year old went in by herself, she didn't want to exit. So, there were issues, and we are NOT the kind who let our kids run wild. One of the staff was quite upset: "WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?!" Seriously, let us use the regular door just beside it, and they wouldn't have a problem. Or don't get grumpy about us holding our daughter's hand and slowing it down, and not going one at a time. The rooms were nice, but SMALL. probably the smallest rooms I've ever had. And the shower is short. My 6 foot husband had trouble. It was fine for me, at 5'6". The ice machine worked great, but the cold water despenser on the ice machine wasn't working most of the time. There is a cross walk right outside the hotel, which is nice because the street is pretty busy. The Beach in front of the hotel was not as busy as other sections. From our photos you'd think we were the only ones there. The pool is nice. If you want adjoining rooms, call ahead, don't just put it in the comments and expect them to read it.

Don’t, JUST DON’T!
Reviewed By SamandtraceDON’T, JUST DON’T! We originally had adjoining rooms with a beach view. Woke up to a bed bug on the wall and one in the bed. The front desk did move us rooms however they we not adjoining and did not have a beach view, with a promise that the day manager would call me. Prior to moving rooms I had to pack up our personal belongings from each room into small clear trash bags (30) so that we could see if any of the bed bugs were in our clothes, shoes or towels. The manager did call, she stated it wasn’t a bed bug because when they “squished “ it there wasn’t any blood and that the best she could do is let us leave ( it was Saturday & no one else on the island had any rooms available) and not charge us or credit one our room $69.00 ….We did end up leaving/checking out and going home that evening. I just checked my bank account and see that I was charged $301.00 per room per night. I called the hotel, the desk clerk was familiar with our name and room problems, he transferred me to the day manager who literally just argued with me over the phone and “evidently” forgot that she said we could leave and not be charged & was not truthful regarding our conversation last Saturday morning. In the end I asked her if customer service was not the hotels priority, she never responded to my question she just continued to state facts about the hotels pricing. BE WARNED, this hotel is about money not customer service or hospitality. …By the way I verified the bug I took a picture of was in fact a bed bug.

Customer Service
Reviewed By Toni WWe haven’t stayed there yet, but I have to recognize Felicity at the front desk. I called to make reservations and made several mistakes causing me to call her back several times. She was super friendly and helped me out in a matter of minutes. She was professional, courteous, and made me feel important. Looking forward to being there.

Customer Service Needs Improvement
Reviewed By SkinnisonMy wife and I stayed here prior to a cruise. The hotel was under construction so most of the amenities were not being offered. Location is good for seeing Galveston. Rooms were average at best for cleanliness and comfort. The TV remote was missing from my room and the phone system would not allow a call to the desk. After 4 trips to the front desk to get one, I gave up trying with no offer from the staff to make it right. This is the worst hotel in the Bonvoy brand that we have stayed at. With the construction the hotel had a broken glass door that was not secured and was a OSHA violation.

Summertime get-a-way
Reviewed By Darlene KWe had 2 rooms reserved for 2 nights. Was very surprised at the quality of the hotel rooms. The entire hotel is so dated and dirty. My room actually had an old blood stain on the comforter that I didn't discover right away. Bathrooms were like staying at a Motel 6 with plastic toilet seat, rusted out bathtub, chipping paint..... I could go on and on. I asked to upgrade the room but the hotel was full first night. These rooms were balcony rooms and one with a view of the pool/beach. Hotel is in dire need of refurbishing. Wasn't expecting this from what is called a Hilton Hotel & Resort.. Staff was very pleasant and ;I know the condition was not the staff's fault. Also, breakfast food was good.. Pool is very average and does not match what the pictures look like.on website.

Do not book thru RCI
Reviewed By Paul MThey show these beautiful beach front properties, but when you arrived they said that they are NOT available for RCI members and that we have to stay across a very busy HWY. Very disappointed with the location and front desk service. We did not stay there.
