This is a very good value for Galveston coast stays. The rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet, and well maintained. The breakfast was ok, they did have the Texas Belgian waffles, plus the other continental breakfast things. It is only a 20 minute drive from Galveston for perhaps ¹⁄₃ the cost of staying in Galveston. The biggest surprise — the maid service came by before we had left the room in the morning to go swimming in the ocean. We opted for fresh towels, toilet paper and an extra coffee. We came back later from swimming, showered, and then went back out again. We came back and the room was completely cleaned, with more fresh towels! They have an excellent staff and management, and I will absolutely look them up for next year’s vacation. Nice to see a place that takes such pride in their property.
