Be careful when you pay extra for a balcony… I had a balcony but my view was the dumpster and parking lot

NEW UPDATES! Top Flr Sunrise-Ocean View, Prvt Beach Access, Pool, W&D, Parking
Our visit to Galveston was made even better by choosing to stay at this property. It had everything we needed, and including beach towels, beach, chairs, a pool and hot tub, and all the essentials for the condo. Check-in was easy, cleanup was minimal, and the shower pressure was the best!

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Galveston West Seawall
The property itself was fine. However, all of the staff we encountered seem disinterested in helping us or any of the other customers.

Spark by Hilton Galveston
I picked the hotel because it said free extended parking. We got there to check in and were charged $10 a night. $50 for the 5 nights. It was too late to try to switch. Very disappointing.
