Great spot to walk to the beach. Parking space is good and rooms were easy to find. Easy access for doordashers to drop off food. Lots of restaurants within the walking distance as well.

There was black mold in the shower grout , the hair dryer was covered in brown grime the chair had dirt and also dry mystery liquid spots and the door lock was missing.as well as a yellow stain on the white sheet. We couldn't sleep that night and went to reclaim the non disclosed $50 deposit as soon as the sun was up and get out of there. We would have slept better and felt cleaner in the car over night

Although the staff was helpful, there was no wifi. So could not do the things I needed on my computer or phone. And since the wifi was not working, the TV would freeze also. As far as facility keep up, the door to the restroom is old and warped and the tub looks as if it has not been scrubbed in some time. Would I stay here again, no, u less the price was lower than what was charged.

If you’re a fan of sleeping in the previous guests bodily fluids, then this is the place for you. I can’t begin to explain how disgusting this place is. I had 2 rooms booked for the night before a cruise. If you’ve seen the documentary “poop cruise”, this is the motel that inspired the ship to give up on life and let all the guests stew in filth. After checking in with the heavily intoxicated “concierge”, we swiped into our rooms (which barely seemed necessary since there was evidence of the doors being kicked in several times). The room that I checked into had a nice aroma which reminded me of old cigarettes put out in a half empty beer bottle (hotel management would say the bottle was half full). All of the appliances plugged into the wall across from the beds, tv, fridge, and clock, were all dead. Not a huge deal. The fridge and shower were rusted from the bottom up. And I don’t mean a little bit of surface rust, I mean severe corrosion. And the lovely office chair had stains which led us to believe that there were several amateur films made in this room that did not have the budget for a cleaning crew after. Let’s move on to the second room. On the way to this room was a nice overflowing garbage can.The vintage lampshade with burn marks and stains all over it were an instant attention grabber. The best part were the dead bugs lined up on the window sill like Andy Dufresne’s chess pieces. And much like Shawshank penitentiary, we would have escaped if we were forced to stay

My neighbors were drug dealers. I had everything from a little white 15-year-old girl knock on the door to a 60 year-old bald cowboy. Pretty sure a couple of prostitutes came through. A state at this end over the last three decades back when it was the knights inn. I stayed here in 2017 again in 2021. It’s on a decline. I honestly think after it’s become an Econolodge quality has tanked. They were boogers literally stuck to the side table and it looks like the Hulk smashed the countertop in my room room 138. I could hear both neighbors televisions to my walls so I know they could hear mine. The only convenient thing that would bring me back is its closeness to the seawall and pleasure pier however I think the ocean Inn will anllow you to sleep decent and clean. I understand the lady that’s cleaning is old, but I don’t think she tried to clean my room before I checked in at all. There’s a difference in being clean and tidy clean means there are no terms left behind my room certainly was filled with germs.

Basic room, it was clean, the remote for the TV did not work, the replacement remote they gave us did not work either, we just gave up. Ice machine did not work the first day, a minor thing, they did fix it. The breakfast they offered was coffee, some juices and prepackaged donuts. 7 out of 10 exp level.

There is no breakfast at this motel, the price is way to high. The location is good. The shower was all badly rusted out and was not usable for shower. There were holes in the wall. And it was not clean. Smells like smoke and it is a little scary side of town. Booking.com should not have this hotel listed on there site so I am a little disappointed.

The place looks rough. It could use some serious updating. My husband was actually scared to stay there and wanted to change hotels. The pictures portrayed were not accurate depictions of what you get. The location and the staff were the only redeeming qualities. The woman that helped us check in was very kind and tried to help us as much as possible. And it really is across the street from the beach.

There was only 1 towel in room altho we had a 2 person booking. We had to ask daily for towels. Another day we were told they didnt have any towels. One day there was no hot water one morning but they did act quickly with work order, restoration of hot water. There is no maid service. No emptying of trash. Definitely a no frills motel.

What a wreck! Front desk lady was high as a kite, could barely keep her eyes open and would go behind the desk wall to puff on something and then come out blowing who know what out. The room 124 was beat to crap, does not look as nice as the pictures online. Walls had massive holes bigger than a basketball in it, ceiling was cracked and looked like it wanted to cave in, and various other areas of scrapes everywhere. Please stay anywhere else, creepy dude in van watching everyone and their vehicles.

The property is run down and old. The rooms are small, and in our room it took a lot of effort to twist the handle to open the door. The handle was rusted and old, God forbid if there was an emergency my teenage daughters would not have been able to open it. There was no free breakfast except coffee. No iron or ironing table, the person at the reception said they all got stolen. The TV did not work, there was an issue with the light in the bathroom, and the room was just murky. The only good thing that was going for us was the water pressure in the shower. I do not recommend this property for families at all.

Very unclean. The sheets had obviously not been changed. There were hairs inside the bed. I immediately check out. Do not recommend at all.
- 2/5
The manager or whatever guy “helped us” at the desk was rude and pretty sure high as a kite, the room was small, toilet was coming out of the wall and off the floor, it rocked when you sit on it, toilet leaked on the floor, the shampoo and conditioner they leave for you was definitely used before, the bed linens/comforter had blood spots all over it so it’s probably never been washed….. I had booked and prepaid for two nights but after our first night we found a MUCH cleaner/nicer hotel (anything could have beat this one) so I asked at checkout after day one about a refund and the rude guy said to call the manager on Monday to ask about a refund for the second day. We drove back by the hotel the next day and our room was already rented out to another set of unfortunate guests so they made double the money off us IF they don’t issue a refund for the second night I didn’t stay. We left and went to the Galveston Beach Hotel and had a much better stay day two. Do not recommend this place at all, that’s why it’s so cheap. You get less than what you pay for. This dump should be renovated thoroughly. Disgusting.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! The pictures are VERY MISLEADING THAT PLACE IS A DUMP!!!! To pass so many other decent looking places to drive up to the “Janky promoters” motel was so disappointing. We had to damn near kick the room door open, the front desk to us to push the door knob down really hard to open. I hurt my wrist! Room wasn’t clean, boo-boo stain on restroom door. No towels no continental breakfast NEVER EVER AGAIN!!

This hotel is extremely old. The outside needs a lot of maintenance and cleaning. The office gives a really bad impression. Dirty around entrance, in need of renovation. We were very worried about the condition of the room, based on the office area. We went ahead and stayed. Owners tried to update. Bedding was clean. Furniture looked fairly updated. Flooring was a laminate and tile. Tub surround had been retiled. Walls desperately needed wiping down as there was sticky where something had splashed up. Paint had peeled off wall in one area so a picture was hung over it but didnt cover all of it. Quarter-round was all dirty everywhere you looked. The tops of headboards were tacky with greasy dust. The inside of door was dirty and needed repainting. Strong odor late at night of stale curry. Lamp was dirty as well. We slept on top of covers and used our own pillows and a throw. Never felt the need to do that before. I took some pictures. It wasnt "Bates Motel" a did not see bugs so I guess thats a plus. Its supposed to be part of the Choice hotels chain but it is very doubtful they know its condition.

It was a bed for the night, which was what we needed. The staff was okay. Extremely limited on the continental breakfast. The rooms were very dirty and in disrepair. Cheap in every sense of the word.

It was just a very used, sketchy hotel and we did not feel safe. The room was so questionable that my husband slept on top of the bed without taking his clothes off or shoes off.
- 2/5
It was very difficult to get the door unlocked. When we finally got in there was no remote for TV. No soap for shower or handwashing. The floors were gritty with trash. The room had an odor to it. Had to spray with Lysol that I brought. The breakfast was not good. Only very strong coffee and muffins and powdered donuts. On the positive side the bed linen was clean and we slept very well.
- 2/5
The room was clean. The desk staff apathetic at best. The room was tight with a king size bed squished into a twin room. The bed uncomfortable and the pillows were lumpy. The breakfast was cellophane wrapped muffins that were dry and tasteless and coffee in Styrofoam cups.

Room smelled cigarette

Great staff and friendly.
- 1/5
The two staff members that we encountered were friendly enough but too busy so guests felt negected. The room seemed adequate at first, but the longer you're in the room, the more you notice. There must be 25 layers of dark paint on the walls holding things together. Too bad it doesn't work to insulate the room a little better as we heard every sound the couple in the next room made - all night long. The transition strip from the tiled vanity area to the lvt in the bed area doesn't meet up and there is dirt and debris in that crack. The vanity had old water stains and everything just felt dirty. We just stayed a short time before a Sunday cruise departure and had reserved a room as we traveled late in the day, thinking we'd gotten a real deal. You get what you pay for. There was no breakfast as advertised. Overall, not a good experience.
- 3/5
Location was great! Could literally walk everywhere! The toilet, bed, and sink were clean but the hotel room itself was ran down with rust all over the front of the tub and holes in the walls. This place is good if you are just needing a place to sleep for a night and two. We did have an ocean view! And the staff were nice!

Just very disappointing. The breakfast is literally a tiny muffin and a tiny coffee so don’t expect it. It’s gonna be like eggs or pancakes or anything like that. Oh yeah, I’ll never ever stay here again ever

I chose this option in the last minute because the price and location. Bed and towel were clean. Heater was silenced. Heater/AC unit was very dirty. Smoke detector opened and without battery. Shower floor was in bad condition. The curtain was not closing very well. Breakfast is a wrapped muffin and coffee.

There were holes in the wall, broken and very porly fixed sink counter, the toilet paper was dry but clearly had been wet on one end before and had a little blue on the wet portion maybe cleaner? The bath tub was rusted all over by the faucet (not the faucet) the actual tub. The bed was fine and location was fine we also had a NONE smoking room and the room smelled HIGHLY of cigarette smoke!!! We were VERY DISAPPOINTED should have asked for a refund. Also not stated they have a $50 deposit fee "you get back in a few days" hopefully I end up getting it back or I'll be contacting them! Will NOT be back.

Worst motel ever
- 1/5
So the room had two queen maybe four size bed the restroom shower curtain was molded..The TV remote didn’t work so I had to turn the TV on and off and channels all night until I decided to go to bed. The microwave hesitated to work and then there was two little critters crawling around in the restroom not to mention the bed. I felt like something was biting me all night so honestly, I know it was last minute to stay, but the price I paid should be compensated as well as my deposit. Don’t understand why charging a deposit for a room that it’s not up to standard. I’ll give this room a D I should say F but due to last-minute convenience and right across the street from the beach is the only reason theyre getting a D.

This motel has had some bad reviews, which I don’t agree with at all. I would happily stay here again. Good area, no problems. (The one thing is they shouldn’t advertise breakfast because it is only very good coffee, juice, and very small packages of muffins/danishes/mini donuts.) The historic area of Galveston is wonderful.

If you are looking for nice vacation location, this may not meet expectations. It was, however, perfect for a night-over before getting on a cruise.

While we were not expecting the Taj Mahal, it was great staying across from the beach. Staff was great. The plumbing was hooked up wrong. The faucets were opposite and the hot water was going in the toilet. I was not happy that the refrigerator did not have a freezer section. Definitely good enough for the price. Days before Thanksgiving are a great price and the water is not cold yet.

I was attracted to the place because of its beautiful views and distance from the beach. I could look out my window from bed and enjoy the awesome beach view with waves rolling in.

It's on the Seawall, so view of beach was excellent. Walk across Seawall Blvd to walk down to beach. That was good -- location. The motel was what I expected, so I gave an overall 3. It's old and in need on lots of cosmetic attention. Our room had newer laminate and tile flooring but walls showed past patches and was in need of new drywall and paint. Air conditioning unit worked well but the fins on front of the unit hadn't been cleaned in months, I imagine. Bathroom tub had serious rust stains and needs to be replaced. The owners need to let go of some of their profits for a few years and do some serious maintenance and repair. Some staff were friendly and other staff had little skill in public relations and dealing with the public. Some appeared to be happy you were there, while others seemed to care the less. We stayed one night as planned, and it was okay, bedding and room were clean, but will probably seek out another motel when we make another visit to Galveston.

Room was clean. Bed was awesome for a hotel mattress. Location is perfect. Even being right on Seawall Blvd, we couldn't hear a lot of road noise. AC was awesome and coooooold. Staff was friendly and helpful. Amber was in the office for check in when we arrived. She most definitely set the vibe for our trip. She was really personable and extremely helpful. She had no issue answering our touristy questions. Will definitely stay there the next time we go down to Galveston!

It was horrible! I'm having to fight for my money back through my credit card company! There were ants, and roaches! The smoke detector and phone jack were ripped out of the wall in our room we had to leave late at night since we weren't in the room much during the day we didn't sleep there and we had to get a nicer hotel! Don't waste your time or money here! The refrigerator was leaking water, the microwave was broken. It was horrible...just horrible! The manager never called me back after spending days attempting to meet in person or just talk on the phone to get my money back! I should report them to health and human services but the only reason I don't is because of the friendly people that work there! Management sucks and this hotel sucks!

When we arrived on Saturday May 17 we were informed there was no hot water in our rooms. It was frustrating that they hadn’t called us so we could make other arrangements, so I began looking into other hotels in the area. The front desk receptionist called the manager who spoke to me on the phone regarding options—we could carry our stuff over to the other building and use one of the showers that had hot water and he offered to refund me one hundred dollars of what we had paid for the 2 rooms. So we didn’t have to get another Uber and find another hotel, I agreed to that. The one hundred dollars has never been refunded. After I gave it a few weeks to see the refund and didn’t I have tried many times to call the number to Econo Lodge that is listed online. It rings about 10 times and then goes dead so I can’t leave a message. On our credit card charge from Econo Lodge, there is a phone number listed to call if there is an issue. However, the number listed goes to Red Roof Inn in Galveston.

Been visiting this property for years and every time the rooms are always very clean, the most important thing about this property is the ocean views, it maybe an older hotel but the upkeep is great.

It is nice because it is literally across the street from the ocean which was amazing but the hotel its self was pretty sketchy. The doors were incredibly hard to open. And I in general didn't feel safe.

The AC did not work all that well and leaked both inside the room and outside. They never had fresh towels available and the room felt very old and not renovated.

The staff white lady at night looked and sounded like she hated her job. Then we walked in the was a roach on the lamp!!! Molding on the bed. Patch work on top of patch work all over the room. They don’t put no money into actually making the place look nice just try to cover it up very cheaply

Why is everything rusty? Why is there mold in the bathtub? Why haven’t y’all uploaded current pictures. I was scared to even sleep there. Never again.

Went for the night to have alone time with me and my husband. I had booked a king room was given a double. Then the keys to the room did not work.the curtain would not close all the way. All in all the room was comfortable and once I went to the front desk the room was exchanged for a king after proving that is what I had booked. We had a great time with the closeness of the

Great location if you love the beach! Breakfast was coffee and donuts but lunch/dinner options were plenty. No daily maid serrvice but front desk gave us anything we needed. Older property but our room had newer furniture and was clean!

Soooo… the pictures on the website must have been taken when the property was first built because it was pretty run down. However, the location is great. Walking distance to Dolphin World and different eateries. If you want to walk straight across to the beach access, you’d have to jaywalk. The night person who checked us in (lady) was super nice. If you’re looking for budget friendly with no frills but access to all the things, this is a good deal. Breakfast was prepackaged stuff. No hot breakfast.

The big problems were 3 fold. One, the door lock was broken in that it took us minutes to force it open everytime we tried to get in, Two, no hot water, none, Three, for such a small property they should guarantee parking for people staying. We had to park away from our room because there were no parking spots. On the good side The bed was great and having ocean view was awesome.

This place is nasty was checked into a dirty room! Bed was dirty dirty linen all in the shower toilet was nasty I stayed only because had no where else to go and was far away from home! Said to have breakfast on line and was a little Debbie snack! Nothing like what the picture look like the ac is falling out of the wall was a waste of money and the fact I had to pay that much to stay there is sad! But had no choice! Place need some major help! The lady at the front will say was very nice and apologized for everything and gave me what I needed to clean the room.

This place was absolutely disgusting. There was no hot water, there was burn holes in the sheets of the bed, roaches in the room. The keys didn’t work. Paying $180 a night for this place was ridiculous.

When I walked in there was sand on the floor like no one had cleaned the floor. The door was really hard to open and the room was very small. The restroom was very compact and difficult to get ready in.

The room we stayed in had no amenities, coffee pot, etc. The ceiling was bulging down, walls were messed up. Room did not have a fire alarm in it even though the wall mount was in place for it with capped wires inside the wall. Our stay was supposed to include a free breakfast (as advertised); however, breakfast was not avaliable. Cost was entirely too much for the lack of comfort, amenities, etc. We will never stay there again.

The facility was dirty. The trash from my room was never picked up. The towels were never replenished we had to go pick them up. They never picked up the dirty towels we had to put them out. The breakfast was sad nothing but coffee and donuts. There was no rod in our room to hang our clothes on. Will not go back or recommend.

Es una propiedad muy antigua y la bienvenida a la habitación fueron cucarachas caminando por la pared el mal olor que había en esa habiatacion estaba impregnando en las paredes las almohadas y la ropa de cama olía horrible el baño muy sucio había pelos en la bañera y la cortina estaba llena de mojo y cuando caminas en la habiatacion se sentía el piso lleno de tierra y dice q es desayuno incluido y lo único que había era café agua caliente para preparar té y agua fría como nos dijeron en el desk no vuelvo a ir a ese hotel jamás en mi vida que mala experiencia por la q tuve q pasar yo y mis hijos

It is right on the beach and walkable to many places to eat and hang out, including the Pleasure Pier. The room itself was very basic, not fancy, but a fine place to sleep. There aren’t any amenities, but the office did have coffee. The staff was nice and check in was easy. The bed was comfortable. At first our hot water didn’t work, luckily it was hot later in the night when we got back from being out. The window is like a fishbowl for everyone to see in so just close that curtain lol. The only other issue we had is the closest bar was right across from our room window; so pretty loud into the night with music and karaoke. Over all for a one night stay the location was great and it worked fine for our needs.

Planned a last minute get away so the price for the room for two days i quoted was actually resonable. While staying there i only had plans to get some nice food close by and go to the pier to go on the rides. The room was clean when we got there. The room furniture is out of date but again for the price not a problem. The room i booked had two beds (i only needed one). While examining the sheets on the other bed thats wasnt slept on you could see mildew marks and coolaid stains* i dont wanna think the worst other thinknlf what it might have been, but nevertheless the bed that i slept on shetts were clean, thin, but clean. The towels were clean also. The tv has mostly sport channels (15 channels) if that much and TNT thank God a movie channel but again for the price and reason i was orginally in galveston for i didnt care. The shower didnt have a plactic shower lining but a long curtain that had to be placed inside the tub so the floor didnt get wet. But the floor did get wet alil. The fridge in the room for some reason smelled as if it was some stale food left in there for a while and somebody tried cleaning it out * there were no stains or crumbs left in the fridge , it just smelled bad* to the point i tried my best not to open it. Parking was litterally outside our room door. As seen in the picture you do actully seel the water from out the window. It is a lovelt view. Over all i would stay here again. Quiet and nice

The hotel is definable in need of some tlc. It’s an older property and is safe and convenient but just aged and a little less than what the pics online represent it to be.

There was only parking for one car per room and if you leave you lose your parking space. The room was way smaller than it looked in the picture. The noise from the traffic on the seawall was terrible and load. The staff was very nice though.

The desk clerk was excellent. She asked if we wanted a view of the seawall. The room had updated furniture. It had a refrigerator and microwave. The room/bathroom itself was older but served our needs for a room before our cruise.

requested an accessible room, what we got was a shower stall, no grab bars, short toilet and not well secured to the floor. if we were in wheelchair, no chance of moving around inside room. non smoking room, but there was plenty of lingering smoke inside and outside. since our room was next to street, on a Saturday night, we could hear all of the traffic outside. over all the bed was ok and it did what we needed it to do as we were staying the night for a cruise the next day. if you needed a place to stay one night this would fine, price reflected the room.

Our stay was excellent. A 10/10. Only one problem....the mattress. Im used to sleeping on a memory foam mattress. And they have spring mattress. But it was a great weekend and a great place to stay. Will stay there again definitely.

Property was par for the course. There's some good improvements that would really change things, but the lack of staff on hand was a big one. Couldn't access anyone before check in hours, which is a a massive problem. Aside from the front desk guy NOBODY spoke English or even Spanish which is becoming a all too common and scary trend. Fridges didn't work well. I booked two rooms so I can say plural. As a side note, the guy at the front desk, when he was there was very nice and attentive.
