I always come to this hotel every summer, (Let's also mention that I have come almost fourteen times) and I have always had a great time. For those of you who may have gone before Hurricane Ike struck the Galveston area, they have changed some things. I cannot speak for the rooms on floors two, three and four, but the... More

The price is not worth your stay! The rooms are dirty and the AC is LOUD and there is no use in adjusting it because it will continue to blow the air. There is a door that joins the adjacent room better make sure its locked. The pool is right by the sidewalk and there was people jumping over the... More

Hotel is located accross the street from the beach and all room face the Gulf. We had a room on the top floor (hotel is 4 stories) and we had a balconey with two chairs..nice for sitting outside during the evening and the rooms look over the pool. The room could use some upgrades, like the bed spreads..a little worn.... More

My friend and I booked a room weeks in advance and drove 300 miles to get to this hotel only to walk into the office and find out that you must be 21 to stay in the hotel or have your parents. I have never heard of anything so stupid before, if you are 18 you are an adult. How... More

I've read several bad reviews after the fact, but all in all I was surprised by the nice experience and room. Nothing fancy but it was clean and cold AC. Great location and awesome pool. If you are looking for a resort then keep lOoking, but for a cozy safe motel experience - it was good for us. More

We enjoy staying at the Commodore because of the location and the view. Having the beach just across the street, a light at the corner for easy crossing, the wonderful outdoor pool, and the great restaurants within easy walking distance, make this one of the best places to stay on the island. It is not, however, new, overly clean, though... More

I am a hotels.com advocate and read all the reviews about this hotel which STILL DID NOT prepare me or my mother for what we got ourselves into. The Commodore on the Beach in Galveston was a shoddy hotel which felt more like a trucker motel or a roach motel. In addition to the obviously out dated facility as a... More

They first told us the room I had booked 6 weels earlier was not available; then I was told I could have the room for the first night, but not the second, even though I had paid for 2 nights; We were told they had not charged my pre-paid credit card, but the money was gone off the card, so... More

This is a reasonably priced, family oriented hotel directly across the street from the beach and within walking distance of several restaurants. The room was clean and colorful and more than adequate space for two people. Balconies ALL face the beach and the pool is wonderful. Staff was all courteous and helpful. If you are looking luxury then this is... More
