Though the furnishings throughout the property were very dated, the room we had was very clean! The location is perfect! We used the free ferry service from Bolivar to Galveston. This hotel is right out the gates from the ferry, making it so convenient! We were able to bypass Houston completely by using the ferry.

Good for the price. Building and interior a bit worn. Breakfast and dining area are nice and we really like that they allow cruise parking. Stayed here more than 20 times and will probably stay here again.

Excellent value!!
I stay here every time I go on a cruise because they have free cruise parking… The hotel is a bit older and the rooms reflect its age, but they’re fairly clean and very comfortable! We’ll definitely stay here again soon!

We stay here often. We love that it’s right next to the ferry because we can walk on to the ferry and watch the dolphins.
The staff are always nice and welcoming.
