extremely satisfied!

By Cheryl31, 9/14/11

The staff was exceptionally professional yet friendly, fun and relaxed, as were the other guests we encountered. The room was beautiful, there was no problem at all getting a last minute balcony with a great view of the gulf and of the Rainforest Cafe's volcano fire-spewing roof. (IHOP 2 doors down, holla!) Although we didn't use the pool, it was gorgeous with a swim up tiki bar/grill with plenty of seating. Bathroom is very nice too, peterthomasroth toiletries. aaaand was free with my AA miles. Can't wait for the next excuse to go to Galveston!

Nice place but needs to wake up

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/24/11

Nice property but the wifi cost. Hello why are they charging for something that other less nice places have for free? Also the breakfast cost. Most places have free breakfast even if its not much its the point. I may think twice about going back.

TRIPLE CHARGED AND THE MANAGERS WERE UNHELPFUL

By DavidH, 6/8/11

We returned from our stay at this hotel yesterday for a short family vacation. We have stayed here before and have loved the property. However, this stay was less than satisfactory because we were fraudulently charged even though our room was already booked and prepaid through Hilton's online booking service. Upon check in, we gave our check card for incidentals, only to find the next morning that the hotel charged us their premium rate for the night, even though we had prepaid for our reservation. We talked to the front desk and were told, and this is verbatim, "we can't just make the money magically appear back in your account." We spoke to a manager, who assured us he would take care of it. But, the next morning, that same charge appeared, as well as a second one! We talked to another manager, who assured us she would take care of it, only to find that later that day, the hotel charged us for a third night, even though we only stayed 2 nights (both of which had been PREPAID!) The manager called our bank and got the charges reversed. But, today, ALL THREE CHARGEs were charged to our card AGAIN! The general manager never returned our calls or emails, and we have yet for the Hilton to return the money that they wrongly charged our account! AND, by the way, we are HILTON HONOR club members. Should we consider it an honor to be stolen from?

Never going back!!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/25/11

I booked this hotel for a Friday and Saturday night stay accepting that it was quite a bit higher priced than some other nearby hotels, but assumed that it would be worth the money because it is a Hilton hotel and a "resort" at that. I was wrong. We called Friday at 5 pm to tell the desk we would be checking in late aroun 930. They told us no problem. However, when we arrived the manager came out and told a story about the plumbing issue they had with our room. We were moved to a holiday inn(which was more like a motel than hotel) and were told it was complimentary and that our room would be refunde for Friday night. Saturday we stayed at the Hilton. The service was below expectations and we also found out there was no plumbing problem they had just overbooked. The managers are not honest and we still have not seen the refund. I didn't pay to stay in a cheap hotel but that's what we got. Staff is rude and dishonest. Pool is not heated. But down the road we saw that the best western was advertising a heated pool. The rooms had no fridge or microwave. And Also no wi-fi. This hotel was far from a resort. If you are looking for a nice hotel this is not that either. We will never stay here again or recommend it to anyone else.

Just OK overall. Biggest problem: was quite noisy

By Brian, 4/11/11

Great location on the beach. We arrived around check-in time and there was a Mary Kay convention going on. When we asked where to park we were told that the garage was full and that the Mary Kay people would be gone around 8 pm. The room itself was clean and nice. The biggest problem was the noise. We heard dresser drawers opening and closing, toilets flushing, etc. We heard a lot of noise and people talking in the hallway until 11:30pm. And the A/C compressor was very loud when it was running, and it switched on and off all night. No free breakfast with the rate we paid. And on the lower floors there isn't a view of the beach. We did the cruise shuttle. It was good going to the ship but coming back it was somewhat disorganized. The driver was picking up and dropping off at 2 ships and 4 hotel parking lots, and at every stop she had to reshuffle the bags.

Disappointed

By Glenna, 11/21/10

I am sitting in a very nice, clean room with a balcony. Great view of the Gulf. My disappointments are that I didn't realize hotel rooms in this price range weren't equipped with at least small refrigerators and microwaves??? I guess they want to make sure you come to their bar and restaurant and spend more money? Also, in this day and age you would think they would offer free high speed internet access instead of charging nearly $10 a day. It is doubtful that we will stay here again.

Very Nice Stay

By Local, 6/17/10

We stayed at this resort for several days and was very impressed with our stay. The hotel was very clean, the staff was extremely courteous, and we have no complaints whatsoever. Would definitely stay here again.

Not what we expected

By EricaKF, 5/17/10

We requested a low floor & were put on the 5th floor in the very last room, eventhough we had arrived early to make sure we could get a low floor. The A/C was way too noisey. We didn't get any sleep. The rooms are priced entirely too high. They need to make some updates around the hotel & hire friendlier employees. Got a beer & a mixed drink at the bar & it was $13! I would advise you to stay somewhere else.
