It’s fun staying in a historic place in a historic part of town that’s so close to and walkable so many things. We couldn’t adjust the room temperature so our room was very cold. It would be helpful to have a couple of towel racks and a shelf over the bathroom sink.

Our stay was fine for a quick overnight. However, I had to call for a code to get in as I never received the check-in email. The bed was soft and the pillows lumpy, the ensuite sink didn't drain and the only house amenity was a Keurig with flavored coffee and tea which was not enough selection for all the guests. The location is good for cruisers as the apartment house is located fairly close to Harborside Drive. We would stay there again, but for just an overnight.

Temperature is centrally controlled so we couldn't adjust it at night when we got hot. Fan squeaked on higher settings so we couldn't even use that to try to cool down for sleeping. The outdoor exchange for the AC was right outside our window and not quiet. Needless to say we had a rough night. The room was clean and nice. Located within walking distance from the Strand so that was good.

The arrival process was easy as it was entirely electronic, but we were not sure that we had arrived at the correct place. The house is not well marked or designated as a hotel vs private residence. Everything smells of mold and the house has cameras placed (very obviously) everywhere; which was a little disconcerting. The room was very small, but usable and reasonable for the nightly cost. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, but the fluffy pillows went flat through the night. The room was kept very cold, but with no thermostat control. The bathroom has very little in the way of toiletries if you plan on taking a shower. The plumbing is all exposed and appeared to be leaking a brown rust on the bathroom floor. If it weren't for the humidity we would have forgone showering. We come from Phoenix and are used to poor pedestrian infrastructure, but Galveston takes it to another world of ridiculous. We routinely had to drag out bags across grass and mud or walk through the street. So, while you *can* walk to the port, it ain't for the feeble. Overall, probably would stay at a different hotel next time which is closer to the port.

Room could have smelled a little fresher. Bathroom very faint order. Small free shampoo had been opened and not quite full. Usually have good coffee, but this visit just flavored coffee and lots of tea.

You definitely get what you pay for. This is strictly NO FRILLS, a bed and a bathroom. But for the length of time I was there it served my purpose.

Private house in residential area with minimal on-street parking capacity. Room was comfortable but 2 things were bothersome: first, the sink to wash your hands after using the toilet is out of the bathroom; second, the sink itself is so small and tucked up against the wall that there’s a bath mat for use because even with your head against the wall, you WILL make a mess and dribble all over the floor when brushing your teeth or try to wash you face. I just wish I’d have known this wasn’t a hotel at the time I made the reservation (I don’t recall ever seeing that on the website). It’s not that the room wasn’t comfortable- it was (with the exception of the aforementioned sink issue) but we didn’t have the amenities I was expecting that are normally available in a hotel.

The location is good The room clean but small. The automatic locks are very difficult to us. Not enough hot water for tao showers. The price is too high for the services
