It was decent.
Pros:

The view was nice when it wasn’t foggy. Just across the street from the beach and a light and crosswalk right there.
Room size was nice, we had a corner room.

Cons:

The elevator wasn’t working great, no blankets or bedspread. I was freezing. The pillows were very very flat.
We went down for coffee at 6 and were told there was nothing until 7. It was weird. We just wanted coffee.

Worst hotel experience of my life.
Pros:

Close to the beach - nothing else good about it.

Cons:

The management was rude, uninterested in assisting customers, and dishonest.

Many customers came in to complain, and I was only in the lobby for a short time. Management wouldn’t even listen let alone make reparations. An employee reported to the manager that an iron had been thrown out because it was so rusty that it stained the guest’s white dress - the manager instructed the employee to retrieve the iron and put it back!

Plumbing was broken in many rooms

No bed covers at all….. just one sheet.

WHAT A DUMP!
Pros:

What a dump! Not the least bit soundproof. We were waken up several times during tonight by barking dogs… yes they allow dogs in rooms. The morning buffet is a joke . Some very weak coffee and some stale bread. One guest asked the clerk if he would make new coffee, the clerk said no. Dirty parking lot with rat traps everywhere. What a dump!

Worst place to stay
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The guy was rude. Charged more at the property. Added extra fees. Room was dirty and outdated. Only 2 towels for 4 people. Asked for 2 more towels and he yelled at my 17 yr old daughter and 16 yr old son. WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE

Paid less to stay in a nicer, cleaner place nearby the next night instead of extending my stay.
Pros:

Location was great - right on the beach. No complaints there! The breakfast was about what you would expect from a hotel breakfast for a $100-ish room. Staff was friendly, check-in was smooth, and there was plenty of lit parking.

Cons:

There were no comforters in the room anywhere, only sheets and calling the desk at 10pm did no good and the 'be back in 5' sign was up for a while. Luckily, I had brought our own blankets. Also - the sheets on one of the beds had hair on them that was not mine upon arrival indicating that it had not been washed. There is a $100 deposit for debit card that is not advertised, but that is pretty standard for beach rooms. It's also now been 5 days and still have not released my $100 deposit. It's right between two restaurants and a residential street though so there is a fair bit of noise.

Zero Customer Service/Cate
Pros:

We booked a king room and we told that there were no king rooms at this hotel and that if we wanted we would have needed to book their suite, even though we booked and paid for a king room. The front desk could have cared less and was very standoff-ish. We have never felt the need to review a hotel but be warned, if you like to be treated like a person and not the gum to be scrapped off their shoe and tossed in the garbage, then do not stay here! Worst customer service ever. (We have travelled the entire world and this place was the worst anywhere we have ever been)!

Don’t stay here. I wished Iwould have verified comments before i reserved. I assumed “it’sãwyndham” and just for 1 night
Pros:

Location from cruise terminal. Mark at the counter tried his best and was helpful printing our luggage tags.

Cons:

It was a MOTEL. And although the room had been recently remodeled, the rest of the hotel was not. Breakfast was horrible. And I’m not picky. Your choice of fruit loops, toast or make yourself waffles with no butter available and syrup kept running out because so many people were choosing to eat that only choice!
Ohhh and our beds did not have comforter or blankets. On a day it was freezing in Galveston!! And the worst pillows I have ever slept on. And I’m 63 years old!!

Disappointing, I specifically paid more than Motel 6 pricing, expecting better accommodations.
Pros:

The staff was friendly. The location was convenient.

Cons:

I probably had 12 emails and texts from them. That is excessive and I didn't feel free to block or ignore them because I did need the reservation.
The property seemed run down in general. The paint, cleanliness and amenities were shabby. There were no cups or blankets in the room, the breakfast bar was skimpy. In general, it just seemed like economy was the main priority in running this place.

Will never hook there again.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

It is very misrepresented by their photos on this platform. We went to the front desk to request extra pillows and we were told to come back in half an hour. Not even a “we will get them for you”. Their hospitality skills were lacking.
There was a leak under the sink so every time we opened the water we had to ensure we didn’t step on water.
The place was very old and lots of areas damaged and stained. Shaved hair bits in the side of the bathtub. Chlorine stains on the walls that made it look like a murder had happened there. Raggedy and bad.
This looked like a $50/night hotel.

Horrible experience
Pros:

Horrible experience. Had a group (6 rooms). My personal room had peeling paint/water damage possibly on the ceiling otherwise it was ok. However, 2 in our group had be moved to different rooms because of uncleanliness (stained sheets) and not stocked with linens and amenities as well as bed bugs. Another one in our group had a broken bed and was not relocated. Staff wouldn't "disturb" the manager when asked to speak to the manager. We have photo documentation that can include metadata/time/date stamp. We've filed a complaint with the county health department as well as Wyndham corporate. I personally watched multiple people not associated with our group complain about their rooms to the staff as well.

Pros:

Love the location. The beach is across the street. Restaurants are walking distance as well.

Cons:

They charge $15 for parking in a hotel you just rented a room with. The photos on booking.com are very misleading. Walls in the rooms have been patched up. Paint is peeling from the ceiling.
