Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG
First they charge 15.00 a day for parking which you are never told about untill you see it on your final invoice. The key card didn't work on the door so it had to be changed out that took 30mins. The biscuits at the breakfast were rock hard . The beds were comfortable The room balcony was nice

Room was a bit noisy bc it overlooked the pool, and the elevator was right next to us and made really annoying sounds- but everything else was pretty perfect!
