Top Old Central Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hôtel bien situé face a la plage et près restaurant. Chambre un peut vieillot. Mais quand même propre Déjeuner très bien avec beaucoup de choix quand même. A la réception il y a du thé, eau au citron et popcorn gratuit parfait pour les petites fringales. Point négatif un peut loins du secteur strand mieux vaux prendre un cart en location pour les déplacement"

Gaido's Seaside Inn

8/10 Good

"A good place to stay for a day or two. Room definitely needed some attention. Curtain partially torn from track and sink handle very loose, either needs tightened or replaced. I’m assuming dining area is closed for renovation. No where to sit inside. Either had to eat inside room with just 1 chair and small table or eat outside and be surrounded by semi aggressive seagulls. Attached restaurant Gaido’s, was very good."
