Top Pier 21 Hotel Reviews

The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a very nice hotel it was clean and well maintained but attention to detail is lacking. Coming through the front doors is a set of stairs to the front desk, there is probably an elevator but it isn’t clear marked where to go so ended up dragging two suitcases up a flight of stairs. Valet parking was frustrating we had to go back twice to see if we’re properly checked in, turns out the we weren’t which caused confusion in the morning getting the car, the front desk Let them know we were leaving but they never went and got the car until I asked again 20mins after the original time. The room setup was awkward with the tv off to the side from the bed partially blocked by a wall. But it easily would have fit on the wall in front of the bed. The hot water needed to be run for over 20mins in the morning to get it anywhere close to beyond luck warm. Simple fixes could make a good hotel great"

The 1890 Freeman House

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious room with comfortable bed, bathroom was clean with toilet, shower and sink. Extremely well equipped kitchen and living room - all in beautiful period appropriate furnishings. Great pre arrival instructions. Very convenient to the East End of Galveston. Will book again and encourage family and friends to stay."

St Helen s House Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful well maintained home! Great location and walking distance to so many restaurants and shops, and the strand. I guess since it is an old home it is a creaky so we were not able to sleep in at all, our neighbor above us was awake by 7am and we could hear them walking, other then that it was such a great stay!"

The Lasker Inn - B&B

10/10 Excellent

"I was met at this beautiful historic home by the owner, who was gracious and immediately made me feel like we were friends. He quickly set me up with my entrance code and walked me around the house, showing me everything that was available, including where I could store food and heat something up if needed. He then walked me to my room and made sure I knew how to use the key, explained the TV, gave me the internet information, and let me know when breakfast would be served. The house and decor are quite stunning! There was only me and another couple staying that night, so the house was very quiet. That was a nice pleasure for me. My room was LARGE and very comfortable. I slept well. The morning cook was there early and by 8:00 AM, breakfast was ready, and oh my, it was delicious. Pouched eggs, hand cut and I think pan fried potatoes, bacon, biscuits, frittata, and handmade apple muffins. Such a pleasant time relaxing and eating in this beautiful home."
