"Soft, comfortable beds!!!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
Was a good place to spend the night, beds were very comfortable for my wife and myself. Stayed here because hotels are too expensive on the weekends in Galveston, wasn't very far at all from Galveston. Breakfast was a little more than the usual continental, had some microwavable breakfast sandwiches and pancake sausage sticks. Would stay here again for sure. Hotel was very close to interstate but not right beside it so noise level was very good, several eateries right around it also, as well as shopping centers.

"Good location, uncomfortable stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
Let me forwarn you, the bed is like sleeping on cinder blocks. It is terrible. My husband and I stayed with another couple at this hotel and was very happy with the apperance of the hotel. The problem was that we didn't get to sleep the entire night after a long day of driving 3 hours to get to our hotel after the wedding that we attended. We personally feel as if it would have been way better to spend an extra 20 dollars to stay at HIExpress or Fairfield. Other than that, the front desk attendant was very friendly and helpful in any situation needed. Quick check-in!
"very good"
The entire hotel was booked for that weekend... We had no problem getting in or out... And the rate was pretty good... ThnaksGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a great choice"
Although the hotel was renovated in 2009 it didn't feel clean. Found a huge roach as soon as we entered the room. The staff at check-in asked the same questions about 3 times and check-in took a long time. Had to go down to front desk to exchange our towels as housekeeping was not available after 5pm. The location to the beach was great but the surrounding […] neighborhood was not desirable. The rooms are outside entry which again didn't give a very good sense of security. The pool was very small. No exercise facility. Not a great choice for the price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"My Pet Hated It"
This hotel was so dreadful, even my dog hated it! In fact, we decided to leave early. The room was dirty, the carpet looked like it had never been cleaned, the air conditioner was noisy, and the overall condition of the property looked like it has seen better days! I couldn't even bring my dog in the hotel lobby. And considering how much money I spent […] to stay there, I could have stayed at the Tremont on the Strand or the Hotel Galvez for just a few dollars more. Unfortunately, those hotels don't take pets. Overall, a very bad experience! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Good time had by all!"
It was a very pleasurable experience for a birthday trip.Genuine Expedia guest review
Someone entered our room at two different times and a bracelet came up missing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location, ok room"
Room is ok if you plan to spend most of your time outdoors. Limited space in room and not as nice as other la Quinta innsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Average but should have been a better price"
The room served it's purpose but I would not choose this LaQuinta again for the price (unless we had our dogs with us). No frig, blanket on sheets had a chocolate mark or "something" on it, no hot water from shower (not really needed since it is summer in Texas but still....). They let us check in early at that was appreciated. Also, we did not bring […] the dogs but the hotel is very gracious about having pets. Just not the kind of room we are use to when traveling. It was just fine for after a day on the beach to clean up, sleep and then head out. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Why Stay Elsewhere?"
This is Seawall Blvd in Galveston. Sure you can stay at a 'nicer' resort, but if you're going to be out on the beach all day or go to Schlitterbahn one day (as we did,) there's no reason to spend extra on your hotel. La Quinta is just right for people who want to walk across the Blvd to beach it, walk back to the room, shower, head out to dinner, then […] go back and crash out and do it all over again the next day. We had an unfortuante situation in that our toilet clogged up. We called maintenance and it was back to normal by the time we came back from the beach. Fantastic!

"Close to beach, but small unclean rooms"
Rooms were very unclean and small. Mold in the bathrooms, very little room, entrance from outdoors.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel for a family."
The hotel was clean and well kept. The staff was helpful. The hotel was centrally located.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Acceptable"
First feeling was that we would not return to this place. Then, on basis of cleanliness in the interiors, mainly the room, it was acceptable.Genuine Expedia guest review
We loved being able to bring our dog alongGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"across from ocean"
Doesn't look like the pictures on website. No fridge or microwave. And not very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellant stay"
Everything was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable. Beach was across the street and a couple of blocks. Very family friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Okay stay"
We stayed two nights. The housekeeper came by the morning after our first night and I told her we'd be gone in 15 minutes. We got back to our room about 10pm that night and our room hadn't been cleaned..beds unmade..no clean towels..trashcans still full and unemptied. It wasn't a bad stay, we just expected more. Parking was really hard to get also.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Can't be much worse than this."
The room was very dirty. Had to reach behind night stand. Yuck! Gum on carpet in several places. No parking for over night, Had to park in handicap spot per the night clerk she'svery rude told me she couldn't build me a parking garage.Breakfast was bad as well. Nothing like hot orange juice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"July trip"
I was a little leary about staying there after some of the reviews. But after being there, I now wish it could have been longer. Having the two rooms joined together where the kids could go back and forth with out having to go out side was great. It was just like having one big giant room. Everyone seem to meet in our room because of all the room. The […] kids loved the pool. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Bad hotel for family"
Cockroach killed, Room too small, AC totally inadequate. We will not return.Genuine Expedia guest review
"just ok"
ok, it was right across the street front the beach, the staff was very nice, the hotel is a little old,breakfast was okGenuine Expedia guest review
"Quick Schlitterbahn Getaway"
It was a great place to shower and sleep. Being an older hotel it didn't offer much space to move around for 3 people in a room. Front desk personnel was very friendly and efficient. Continental breakfast was very, very crowded. It was great location on the island.Genuine Expedia guest review
The rooms smelled the ice machines didn't work and the pool was very dirty. The whole hotel was a big dissapointment.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"caught in the back"
hotel is in good location, rooms were clean. I would book here again but not through Hotels.com due to not being able to choose waterfront or city front rooms. My suggestion would be to book room directly through LaQuinta for two reasons. No choice of location of the room and no LaQuinta free night promotion offered through hotels.com.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Room was too small, Did not appear to be very clean. My husband had to kill a cockroach at night. People had dogs in rooms. Will not come back to this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not well maintained"
When we arrived our room was clean though small and minimally comfortable for anything other than sleeping. We were pleasantly surprised by the visitors and location. We felt very safe staying in the room and walking back and forth from the beach and boardwark at all times of the day. We discovered that our bathtub took about 2 hours to drain which […] made showering unpleasant. Maintainance was very receptive to our issue. Breakfast was in an exteremely small area with a small window of time in which to eat. This hotel would not be our go to place in the future, but there was nothing horrible about it either.

"Disappointing"
The hotel is older and is quite lacking for the price we paid for a two nights stay. We had a no smoking room yet we could clearly smell smoke in the room from some previous guest. Spend a few extra bucks and stay at one of the newer hotels on the island.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Horrible!"
This could be a nice motel, but he staff is horrible! We were there for 3 days and the beds only got made 1 of them. The room was never really cleaned. You could tell a maid had been there, and done a couple of things, but the beds were not made and the trash was not taken out. Also, when we called to complain to the front desk, we were told there was […] nothing they could do, and not even an apology was offered. The iron did not work in the room and when we called to get a new one, it was never brought. The TV only worked some of the time, but kept going out. The hotel ran out of breakfast foods each morning by 8:00 and the one morning my wife did get some food it was rotten yogurt. This was a horrible motel!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Average Stay"
Priced high at the time we travelled, not a holiday or a weekend. Decor nice. Continental breakfast lacking and sitting/eating area very, very small, too crowded. Otherwise, room was fine.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel and Perfect customer service."
Took my family to this hotel and it was one of the best hotels that I have ever been to, the beds were nice and soft. The hotel is in front of the ocean so you don't have to drive there you can walk.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Disappointed in Texas!"
The room was to small for 3 adults. Needed queen size beds. It is a older motel, so if your looking for a nicer one go somewhere else! The front desk clerks were not friendly at all. The only thing we did like is that it was a beach front hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great Spot on Seawall"
Our biggest complaint was parking. We would have preferred a parking sticker for hotel guests. It looked like anyone going to the beach could have been taking up the hotel parking spots. We were on the first floor facing the gulf and still had a good view. The beach directly in front of hotel was rocky but just a few yards over was the sandy beach. […] We might pick this hotel again if rate is cheaper than the other seawall hotels. The room itself was clean and was cleaned well on the day we asked for housekeeping assistance. All the staff was helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast offered waffles, boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, juice, cereal, muffins, bagels, raisin bread and strong coffee. A 20 minute walk to Pleasure Pier. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cruise stop"
Great stay! Excellent before a cruise. However, when asking for special items- contact the hotel! Hotels.com said the hotel had things it did not when we got there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not what we expected"
The hotel is across the street from the beach. That was really the only good part. I guess i just expected more for the price we paid. The hotel just seemed run down and not very clean. We had a nonsmoking room, but it smelled like old smoke. The bathroom looked dirty with mildew on the shower curtain. I just wasn't impressed and wouldn't stay there […] again.

One of very few hotels that allows dogs. We were very satisfied with the hotel, staff, &the price. Beach access right across the street!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Go Someplace Else"
We checked in and first thing we noticed was the trash pile we were going to have to look at our whole stay. Then went into the room and it was disgusting, to say the least. I by no means expected the Ritz-Carlton, but this room wasn't even fit for a place to lay my head for the night to get back on the road in the morning. We left there called Hotels.com […] and got our reservation transferred to the Quality Inn and Suites. It didn't have an outdoor pool, but it does have very nice rooms for the money and close to lots of things on Seawall. Go there. Andrew at hotels.com was very helpful in getting our reservation switched. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Will do for night before cruise!"
The hotel was not very bad overall. The A/C was not functioning the best. The television in the room was the old and outdated tube model and did not have the best picture. However, aside from these two things- the stay was OK.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dissappointing for the price."
Great location. Staff friendly. Outside of hotel is unexcusably dirty! Needs major maintenance. They charge plenty and stay steadily booked during the busy season to afford some upkeep on this place! Rooms are comfortable but not clean deep down. The rooms also need some maintence. We saw a big cockroach on the bathroom ceiling, which should not have […] happened!!! I know it's summer and it's Texas but there should not be roaches in the room!!! The breakfast was what I expected, so that was good. The only complaint there is to many people for that small area. Also, they were out or ran out of some of the regular foods they serve. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"No a/c and not family friendly"
Day staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. A/c did not work in room so we could not sleep. Hotel was sold out so moving was not an option. We were swimming in the outdoor pool at 930. Pool did not close till 10. Girl from front desk came and told me kids needed to be quiet because she had complaints. Will NEVER stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Bad Facilities, bad listing for a La Quinta Inn"
Please note; the Staff were very Professional in their approach to the Guest. However, had I visited the location prior booking, "I would not have paid the money for the room, nor would I have recommended other family members to stay there!" This facility was far below the standard that I has been exposed to at other La Quinta locations. Parking is […] sufficient. The parking area that adjoins the Denny's Restaurant lacks adequate space for the rooms facing that area of the property. The Breakfast area was to small. The elevator floor is warped from so much water being tracked in and out. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
