I want a total refund on the booking.
Pros:

I did not like nothing about this place. It is a run down motel located in the getto. I want a full refund on my booking. I told the clerk to cancel my stay. He did understand what I said and gave me a registration copy. I want a total refund from booking.com

Cons:

The place was old and messed up. All of the room were not maintained. Old tvs, bathrooms that needed need replacing. I was moved twice and each room was the same. I want my money back.

location was good, but the room’s cleanliness, unexpected parking fee, and misleading listing made the stay disappointi
Pros:

The location was convenient, and once the TV service was restored, it worked fine. The staff was polite when I spoke with them.

Cons:

The room did not match the listing. The “balcony” was a shared outdoor walkway with no privacy. The refrigerator had rust on the shelf, there was a cigarette lighter left in the closet, an unwrapped bar of soap was already on the bathroom rack, one bed had a stain, there were no towels when I arrived, and I was surprised by a parking fee that was not disclosed before booking.

Pros:

On Seawall, comfortable beds.

Pros:

Location to the beach and the friendliness of the staff.

Cons:

Whew. Well the pool was like the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC so we couldn't use it. Fruit flies in the breakfast area. The stair threads were loose. That is a major accident waiting to happen. The property is extremely outdated but it's visible they are trying to fix things. We couldn't get the TV to connect to cable so we had to call for someone to fix it. The check in time was 1600 (4:00 pm) and no one was there. There were people ahead of us saying they had been waiting 10 minutes. The front desk agent was EXTREMELY apologetic. He is literally running around fixing things, attending to guests needs, they are very under staffed. Once we got in the room, our bed sheets were stained and we taken pictures and went to the lobby and they quickly corrected the problem. THEY NEED HELP. A mess. But the staff is awesome. Obviously the problems are above their heads.

Room and breakfast was bad, but customer service was fine, but I wish I could get a partial refund.
Pros:

The room was great. It was spacious and clean. The staff was nice, helpful, and seemed to be doing what they could to help us enjoy our stay. We were right in front of the seawall and beach, and a short walk to the Pleasure Pier! That was nice. We even walked around 30 minutes to a French bakery, Bleu Sucre, and that was phenomenal! This was a good location - I just wish the cons didn't outweigh that.

Cons:

For one, our TV was broken. Second, the main light next to the door was out. Third, the fan in the bathroom was obnoxiously loud any time we turned it on. The breakfast was minimal and bland, with only a few items to choose from. Parking was $15/day and I had to call to verify that information AFTER reading reviews. I don't recommend staying here if you're used to fancy hotels, but as this was my partner and I's first trip, it was endearing. This didn't feel like your typical "Wyndham" experience.

This has always been a staple for us in Galveston. Never again, and that's sad.
Pros:

Have been coming for years, so I was glad it was still there.

Cons:

Arrived early and was told it would be 4PM before it was ready. Came back at 4, and it still wasn't ready. They gave us another room on the backside. TV did not work, phones did not work. Went to front desk about the TV. We were told it would be an hour. They never showed up.
