Will definitely rebook next time we need to stay overnight in Galveston!

Liked: So cute, and comfortable. Didnt see any staff, but thats ok! It was like checking into a vrbo. Super easy. Coffee maker and cute retro refrigerator and microwave in room. Also had a back patio, but it was to cold out to enjoy
Disliked: The church across the way had unsheltered people living there. You couldnt see them from the hotel as they were on the other side. They didnt come around. I felt safe, but definitely was aware of my surroundings when walking around outdoors

Do not waste your money on this property!!

Liked: This was advertised as a five star hotel. This property is not a hotel. It is an Airbnb at best. Theyre going for retro, but what they really have is tired, old and shabby. I paid good money for this hotel to give my son a cool experience, and was extremely upset upon arrival.
Disliked: Everything. It was in a dark side street that seemed a little sketchy. There was no staff on site, so any issues had to be managed through email or a phone number. It smelled of cigarette smoke, and there was a shutter outside our window that banged literally all night long and so neither of us slept a wink. The bathroom floor was, for some unknown reason extremely oily, so it was hard to walk on. We had to throw down towels. The only good thing I have to say is that the shower was nice.
