Flagship Hotel, Galveston

I stayed at the flagship around the late 90s. Rooms were ok. Not the worst place ive ever been 4 sure. Im glad im able to say i roomed there before it was gone.

The flagship is completly gone now they tore it down now its gonna be an amusement park

This is the Flagship Hotel. It took a beating from Ike. You can see directly into two of the rooms on the top floors. We were just there yesterday. So sad. YOu can't even get into the parking lot.

I loved being on the water but when we got in the room to the room the key would not work,they had to program it again and still could not get in when we left and came back.The TV and the phone didn't work along with the smell in the room. The elevators were scary, the outside window on the sidewalk was broken and hanging out of it channel, they had it taped and a block of wood under it to keep it from falling out,10ftx4ft window (very dangerous with all the kids around). We got moved to another room where to sliding door was hard to open. In its day I am sure it was beautiful but that will be my last stay there.

I've stayed at the Flagship going back 25yrs. Back in the day it was the place to stay. My last visit made me sad the way it has gone extremly downhill. Yes, it is old & shows it. The A/C worked great, continetal breakfast OK & nothing like the view & sound of staying over the water.Where else can you feed the seagulls, see dolfins & even fish from your balcony. For the money it is worth it to me.If your use to a $300 room you will hate it, but for about $100( with coupon) the balcony over the water is worth it to me. It is a terrible shame the owners don't bring this place back to it's potintial. I'm afraid from the looks of the concrete structure under the hotel it's not long before it will be shut down & not another hotel out in the ocean will exsist.

Well last summer I went there with a friend of mine and we stayed for about 3 days. The workers were really nice, and helpful. Yeah, It might not be cleanest like any other place but it wasn't like it was just plain gross either, Their are some people on here thats exasperating and going way to far with it..

Positives : By far the best view of any hotel in Galveston. Negatives : The columns holding this thing up are crumbling, with rebar hanging out, and it looks like the entire hotel will fall into the ocean at any moment. Riding the elevators is a life-risking proposition - we took the stairs. We found a feminine hygiene product on top of the medicine cabinet (not new.) The room smelled like fresh paint. The plaster was falling off the ceiling outside our room and the cleaning crew ignored the mess. We wandered into a banquet room and there was a "2005 Family Reunion" banner still hanging over the stage (in June of 2008.) The view from the breakfast room is ruined by years of seagull poo streaking down the windows. During the night a man committed suicide by jumping off of a jetty and his body floated under the hotel and onto a nearby beach. (I'm not making any of this up.) Verdict : Come for the view, request a balcony, and don't pay more than $100. Don't stay more than one night, and don't forget to bring your own sheets!

Well like most of you i was a lil worried about the reviews that every one had written...well it was my 1 year aniversery with my boyfreind and he wanted to do some thing special that we whould never forget and thats what we got i mean if your wanting some top of the line hotel stay at the san luie but if you just want something fun with a view stay there i dient not have one promble the wole time we where there every thing was clean the room dident smell bad and the view was amazing..... we did have hot water and during the day we went shopping and and walking it was soo great we plan on going back in the next 6 months

IF YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF STALE TOBACCO, MOLD AND MILDEW STAY HERE. VERY FEW ROOMS HAVE LOCKING DEAD BOLTS WE MOVED 3 TIMES TRYING TO FIND A ROOM WITH ONE FINALLY FOUND ONE AND THE AIR DID NOT WORK IN THAT ROOM. JEFF DESK CLERK DID NOT OFFER TO HELP MY MOTHER MOVE THE HEAVY CART AROUND FROM ROOM TO ROOM AND THEN WAS EXTREMELY RUDE WHEN SHE ASKED FOR HER MONEY BACK. THEY DID REFUND OR THEY SAID WILL HAVE TO CHECK C/C STATEMENT TO MAKE SURE. THE LOCATION IS GREAT BUT THAT IS IT!!! EXTREME MOLD PROBLEM. WENT TO LAQUINTA ON WEST END OF ISLAND IT WAS GREAT!! IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES OR A NON SMOKER YOU SURE DONT WONT TO EVEN WALK INTO THIS PLACE!!!!! STAY AWAY TO MANY OTHER GOOD PLACES TO STAY!!

First of all I'm 36 and drive a Mercedes and live in Katy,Tx. I like the finer things in life. Dispite all of the horrible reviews I decided to give it a go. I've got to say I'm soooo happy I did it. My husband and I decided to have a weekend getaway for our 5th wedding anniversity and a trip away from the kids. I did my online research just like all of you and found that this was the ONLY hotel on the beach. It's actually in the ocean. We checked in around 11pm and was greeted by friendly staff. We stayed on the west side so we over looked the parking but still had an outstanding view of the ocean. We fed seagulls from the balcony and had a very comfortable room size. We did experience NO hot water the entire visit. I did make mention of this to the staff and was invited to move to another room or receive a discount we took the latter. We ate at Fish Tales across the street. Expect to pay between $11-25 a plate. But the food was great. I would do it again and again.
