“Great Family Place”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

We had a great Mother's day weekend at this hotel. The room is a great size and layout for my small family of 3 and my husband's parents. Access to the beach and the pool were spectacular, I did not have to cross a busy road with my 2 year old. I also believe that they rake up the seaweed... More

This was our 3rd time staying at the Galvestonian within four years and must say it just gets better. This time we booked a one bedroom on the 12th floor and the view was breathtaking!

This was our first trip to the Galvestonian but we have been to Galveston many times staying at houses or other hotels. This by far was the best experience we have had. We have a 3 year old and the privacy and lack of the busy Seawall Blvd was a huge plus for us. It was absolutely no trouble to... More

“Very nice stay!”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

This place is a little pricey, but there is not much choice in Galvestion to stay directly on the beach. The Galvestonian is a really nice property with a heated pool, and walking access to the beach. We went in March so it was still a little chilly. The kids (12 and 10) loved the pool and hot tub. We... More

I should have written a review sooner since we stayed last August, but I am writing it now based on a recent review I read on Trip Advisor. We LOVED the Galvestonian! The previous reviewer was talking about the pool and that they don't allow pool toys. I understand how he must have been frustrated about that since he was... More

Hi Crunz3, We appreciate your recent review! We are happy you found your condo to be quiet and well maintained. I saw you mentioned the fully equipped kitchen in the condo.

We stayed at the Galvestonian the week of March 25th, 2013. Tim Lopas was very accommodating the first time we came and explored our options of staying for a week somewhere on Galveston Island. He personally showed us a couple of units of different style to help us make a decision for our 3 teens. Although the prices seem to... More
