Pros:

Loved the ocean view 💙 😍

Cons:

Check-in time was delayed an hour or so even after a call to the property was made 2 hours earlier. I wasn't thrilled about that after being on the road for hours. Also, they didn't try to make it right by complimenting anything. That's definitely disappointing 😞

Great service for any situation
Pros:

Julie at Castaways made my night. I very rarely travel alone and was reluctant to go out alone at night. Instead of ordering ubereats to my room I decided to eat and grab a drink at the poolside. I’m so glad I did. It’s rare you find a bartender who is perfectly friendly, can make fantastic cocktails, and is quick even with a rowdy crowd in summer. She even took the time to make a drink inside for me when I asked about something she didn’t have the ingredients for outside. Perfectly safe and still enjoyable. My meal was good, too, Thanks, Julie!

Memorial Day weekend 2026
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard Galveston! From the moment we arrived, Tara the GM and the front desk team made us feel so welcomed and valued. The hospitality and customer service throughout our stay were truly outstanding.

A special thank you to Laura for the amazing breakfast service and coffee in the morning — she was so kind, attentive, and started our day off perfectly!

The hotel itself was extremely clean, modern, and looked brand new. The pool area was also very clean, refreshing, and a great place to relax after a day out.

As Marriott Rewards members, experiences like this are exactly why we love staying with Marriott properties. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Galveston!

Prima standhotel. Ontbijt wel elders.
Pros:

Locatie was prima. Mooi aan het strand. Wij hadden een kamer met zeezicht en balkon. Het zwembad was ook erg fijn.

Cons:

Wij hebben 1 keer ontbeten in het hotel. Voor 2 kleine yoghurtjes, 1 muffin uit de magnetron - akelig - en 2 kleine koffie betaal je - plus de verplichte fooi - zo’n 45 dollar. Walgelijk duur. Tip: ga lekker ontbijten bij de Sunflower Bakery in Galveston. Toptent voor goed, lekker en gezond ontbijt.
