Top Pier 21 Hotel Reviews

The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Even though we have some crazy things happen in the middle of the night, like lights coming on in the restroom and alarm clocks going off at 3am. It was still a must stay again hotel. Very clean and in the middle of everything."

Hotel Lucine

8/10 Good

"I would like to say I had a wonderful, relaxing time but that is not the truth. I don't want to focus on the negative parts of it that I hope will be corrected soon (A/C issues...very hot room...80 degrees before I threw in the towel). What I do want to focus on is the positive sides of this trip and hotel. This was a last minute booking. I wanted to check out this renovated hotel and go spend some time walking the beach. We ate at the little bar area. We had a burger and fries and a few drinks. All was good. The bartender could be a little short but there was a wilder party there, and I am guessing at end of shift, she was getting tired. The hotel itself is beautiful. The plants, the design, the pool, the tile, the pastel colors, the fact you can sit on top even when the bar is closed and enjoyed that area that overlooks the rooms or the seawall/beach and moon view. It is a great location (other than parking...we parked right off the street and it needs to be repaved). I did notice there was a bar and a couple of restaurants walkable but we did not do this. Pool was murky but after a weekend and they did leave it open an hour past to accommodate us but after eating, we actually had 20 minutes. lol We didn't shower and sleep was cut short. We left at 5 am due to heat. What was good is that their staff is cordial, management did make it right, and I absolutely would return and give them a second chance with the coolness of the room."

Wingate by Wyndham Galveston Beachfront at the Seawall

2/10 Terrible

"For the price, you would expect a well kept property - outside and inside. That is not what you get here. As soon as we pulled up we had to double check the address, it was very run down. We get placed in a room on the first floor and as soon as we walked in you could tell how run down it was. The shower tiles were coming up, the shower curtain was dirty and moldy, we didn’t see it until the next morning, but the shower towels were dirty, the bed looked like it had mold on it, and the “repairs” that were done in the room were obvious and covered with paint. When I brought these issues up to the guy at the front desk, he tried to play them off. He explained the moldy looking bed as “the cleaning ladies mop bucket brushing up the side of the bed” and just said “those are our towels?” When I showed him pictures of the towels. He offered no apology just excuses. Poor poor experience."

Gaido's Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel for the money. Location: Great. On the Seawall. Get the gulf view. Worth the extra. Breakfast: Very good for a guy. Eggs, sausage, biscuit and gravy plus the normal cold foods. Same thing every day. A heads up, no indoor seating and outdoor you’ll have sea gulls harassing you as expected. Staff: Helpful and friendly. Please tip the breakfast staff. They work hard and handle the crowded space well. Parking: Free and adequate. Room: Dated but clean and suitably maintained. Everything is cutely color coordinated. Pool: Outdoor. I didn’t use but looks as good as most hotels. Well suited for children, but also has attached full bar. Extra amenity: large area of AstroTurf and a place to shower off beach sand on backside of hotel. Interesting history: Take time to read about the Gaidos family online and the sign in the pleasantly maintained garden area. Clients: Families and older enjoying vacation at beach. Friendly, talkative and earthy. Outside: Their one failure is the outside maintenance. Wooden chairs missing slats, Doors stick. Building has rotten wood. Needs paint and repair. Glad we chose it and will again."

The Mariner

6/10 Okay

"The room smelled unpleasant, and the refrigerator was leaking. The leak was reported but no room change was provided, instead a towel was placed underneath the refrigerator to absorb the water from the leaking refrigerator. Unfortunately, we put our left over lunch in there and water from the freezer section leaked into the food. As for the floors, after talking with housekeeping, the housekeeper was kind enough to mop the floor and spray the room. This was not a good experience."
