The room was nice and clean. Loved the fan mounted on the wall. It is an older hotel but the paint was fresh and looked good. Would have liked a better quality mattress, soap and shampoo. Would have also liked a coffee maker in the room.

Jennifer

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
While the room was clean, it's really dated and shabby. There is no coffee maker in room, no hair dryer, only 1 small trash can for entire room, there is no table and chairs so you can eat in your room. The soap bars are of the cheapest kind, hardly lathered at all...you do not have a beach/water view, it faces a field. My boyfriend went to check in area to get us two cups of coffee at 7am, and the area was "closed" therefore we didn't get any coffee until 8am... the property is quiet, and we did appreciate that. Staff was friendly upon check in, and it was quick. We did appreciate that ferry ran quickly, we hardly ever had a wait, but next time we will stay in Galveston so that its easier to get to attractions, eating and shopping.

Our room was clean, beds were comfortable, AC worked great, short drive to get to the beach, pool was a nice size, bbq pits were a plus. The only downside to our stay is that the Internet was out so we weren't able to watch TV. If you have bad knees I would ask for a room that's downstairs in advance because there are no elevators. This was an excellent hotel - this was our 1st time to visit Crystal Beach we will book a room at this hotel again.

We enjoyed are stay for the weekend at the beach. The front desk employees were nice. Pros: The room is spacious for my husband in a wheelchair. The beds were comfortable even the bunk beds for the kids. The employees were very attentive on making sure the area was clean. They also provide a black rubber ramp for in front of the hotel room for wheelchair access. The fan attached to the wall helped us sleep comfortably. Cons: The door to access the toilet and bath/shower area is not wheelchair accessible. He was able to hop to the toliet and bathtub. The only problem was there was only one STEEP ramp for my husband to access the building. There was no ramp for the pool area eventhough they had a lift to help people with disabilites into the pool. My husband had to hop up the steps on one leg and I had to move his chair to the top. Our AC and refrigerator also leaked inside the room so we used towels.
