    I would say the way the breakfast was set up was different to me, I would much rather a buffet style like a holiday inn. And there was some small cosmetic things that could be touched up, and they had 3 elevators but only 1 was working

    The location was perfect, the air conditioner worked great, the bed was maybe a smidge on the firm side but comfortable and the pool was a hit with my daughter

    Beautiful view, great staff, great buffet, terribly hard and uncomfortable bed.

    We HATED the mattress! It was SOOOOOO HARD! Imagine four days of sleeping on a concrete slab! Just HORRIBLE! We woke up hurting every single day! We asked the staff, who said all their beds are that way. What's unfortunate is, Hilton has other brands and locations with more comfortable beds than those were. DEAR HILTON: Please change them out! We visit Galveston several times a year and just discovered this gem of a hotel. It would be our go-to, if the bed was as comfortable as your other hotels. This location absolutely deserves a 10 score, but if a good night's sleep is worth its weight in gold. This was grandest of feathers ever discovered and a full on waste of money.

    It's a beautiful hotel in the resort area, next to the convention center. It looks to be remodeled. The view was absolutely AWESOME! The the majority of the staff was accommodating and extremely polite. And though we don't fault the servers, we were thrown off by the one cook at the omelette station and the 4 servers, who told us they didn't speak english, however. It took us a while to find someone who could answer our questions, as it was our first time at this hotel and became annoying after the 3rd person. Server Jamarcus was hospitable, kind, helpful and greatly appreciated. He and all the front desk staff were the stars of the show during the four days we were there for our anniversary!

    Room was not ready at 5:00 and check in is 4:00. When asked if another room was ready they said yes and it is $20 more per night but they would not give it to me for the same rate so I could check in. Finally after 20 minutes or more they checked me in to a comparable room. They never gave me passes for the pool which I found out later I needed. I requested that I NOT have my room cleaned so nobody would come in and yet when I returned from being gone the next day my room had been serviced. At check out, I was totally ignored and postponed so they could get together on another guest’s reservation with no apology for making me wait. Tried to buy some glasses at the gift shop and could have easily walked away with them but took them to the check in counter instead and that was another unexpected delay. Enjoyed my trip outside the hotel much more than I did inside.

    This was our holiday within a holiday and definitely lived upto that, fabulous pool area, music, lovely swim up bar, bar staff are exceptional and drinks can also be bought to your sunbeds, bar food is good as was breakfast. Free bikes to hire to cycle the boardwalk which was lovely. Landry’s next door did amazing and food and Cliff our server was great and we had a giggle with him. Also walking distance, Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse, again great food and even if not eating go and have a drink just for the experience, it’s amazing. We had a really great time at this hotel for its services and location and would definitely recommend

    Fantastic hotel right across from the gulf. We really enjoyed our night here, the vibe was fun and energetic and the rooms were fairly large and well appointed. We found the beds comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Grayson from bell services was absolutely fantastic and so helpful, we really appreciated how he went above and beyond for us! The hotel is within walking distance of several restaurants (including Rainforest Cafe, fun for the kids!), and a short Uber ride everywhere else.

    I didn't like being on the second floor because my view was more of the parking lot and a little peak of the gulf view.
