We got off a cruise ship in Galveston at 9:30 AM and didn't think the hotel would let us check in at 11:00, but they did! So grateful we didn't have to sit in the lobby for 5 hours! Nice sized room with a frig and a microwave! Unfortunately, we didn't have a car to get around and the restaurants in the area (that were walkable) were few and far between.
The breakfast in the morning was pretty good:eggs, sausage patty, bagels, toast, muffins, cereal and waffle irons. AND, a free shuttle to the airport. It really did have everything you needed, although the hotel itself is a little worn out. Nice front desk staff, too!
