Unfortunately, this Super 8 motel was totally different from the Super 8 motel on Northpark Drive in Kingwood, TX. The biggest difference is all the rooms at Super 8 in Galveston face the parking lot, not an interior hallway like in Kingwood. I was assigned room #101 in Galveston, which must be the only room with no peep hole. Fortunately, I had no security issues and housekeeping only knocked on my door once. I had an issue keeping the “do not disturb” sign on the outside of my door as the south wind kept blowing it off. I found it laying in the grass and used some clear Gorilla tape to keep it attached to the door handle. I noticed that Galveston was still an old city - not embracing new technology. I would have liked to do laundry but the motel only had one washer and one dryer and it was in a room separate from the lobby but was only open 7am-10pm. I was shocked how few laundromats Galveston had and none near the hotels on 61st Street. I do not plan on vacationing in Galveston again anytime soon. I do look forward to my next stay at Super 8 in Kingwood.
