    This was such a beautiful hotel and it looked just as nice in-person as it did in the photos. The entire staff (front desk, valet, pool, bar, etc) was friendly and helpful. The room was also beautiful and clean. The location was right by the beach and close to many restaurants and the Strand. I genuinely enjoyed my stay here and would recommend to anyone visiting Galveston.

    Stayed here before a short cruise. What a grand old property. Lots of history and character. Food in the restaurant was very reasonable for such a high end property and was delicious. Highly recommend the breakfast shrimp and grits!!

    I love this place. Upscale. Older clientele. Beautifully decorated. Amazing service. A bit on the expensive side but worth it.

    Spa was lovely. Pool with cabana was fabulous. Worth the splurge to reserve a cabana. Everyone, guests and employees are friendly and fun.

    They have a little part of the beach, that strictly for the hotel. Room service until 11pm. They bring drinks from the bar. NICE!

    If I was going to be picky, the only downside was that the selection of TV programs to watch is limited
    Also, in my room, not my friends, the outlets near the bed, where you'd want to plug in your phone charger, well, they were wonky. The plug just fell out. There was one that worked across the room on the desk though.

    Overall, this place is too wonderful and charming to pass up. Already planning a future visit.

    The hotel was lovely, the service fantastic, the food amazing, the views from the room amazing. The rooms look just like they do in the photos on the website. The hotel was very clean. The location is excellent right across from the beach and they have beach chairs on the beach. I love the fact that they took and old hotel and maintained it the original fashion. I did not find a single employee that was not helpful and smiling. Front desk, restaurant staff everyone was very helpful. Free coffee in the lobby which I was grateful for as I could not sort out the expresso machine in my room.

    A beautiful historic hotel. The lobby was renovated in 2019 and they did an amazing job. The beach is just across the street. The hotel has a dedicated area on the beach with chairs and umbrellas. On site coffee shop with tasty cappuccinos and lattes. We got up early to get a coffee and walk on the beach. The landscaping and circle drive are immaculate. The view from the beach side of the hotel is amazing.

    Good: Beautiful well maintained hotel. Clean and tidy. Close to everything. Hot tub pressure and temperature was nice. Heated pool was perfect temp. Pool hours were great. Spa was nice and services were good.

    Bad: Low water pressure. Toilet was up against wall. Valet jumped into my car (while husband was checking in) without so much as a warning and moved my car (while I was in passenger seat reading), scared me half to death and felt in danger for a brief moment. Restaurant on site could be better.

    Wonderful experience. The resort amazing room was smaller than I expected, considering I got a Deluxe king room. But overall, more than satisfied. This historic hotel has great views. A restaurant closes at 10 pm, and the bar closes at 12 a.m. I enjoyed this so much I forgot to take pictures. Definitely will be going back.
