What guests think

Across recent reviews, Comfort Inn & Suites Galveston Central Island near Pier earns steady praise for its walkable location by the beach and Pleasure Pier, plus generally friendly front-desk service and some rooms offering balconies with ocean or pier views.

However, many guests report inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, including stained linens, moldy smells, pests, worn paint, torn screens, and hard-to-open balcony doors. Facilities draw mixed feedback: the indoor pool ranges from warm to too cold, the gym and laundry are sometimes unavailable, vending machines and shuttles can be unreliable, and parking feels limited or unsecured to some. Breakfast varies from basic continental to hot items, with several notes about limited variety or items running out. Expect a convenient stay with trade-offs in upkeep and amenities.

The good things were: this hotel very close to the beach, it was cheap in comparison with other hotels in the area, the breakfast was good, and the room was clean. And the parking was free and the air conditioner worked. The bad things were: The soda machines were sold out and I lost a dollar in one of them, the hotel would not reimburse me. The pool area was filthy. The fitness room was a storage room. In my room the toilet paper holder was broken, and one of the bed lights was out. The staff never smiled and we’re not friendly. Also the room was not a suite, no couch etc.and to get clean towels you had to take your towels to the desk and exchange them for clean ones.

Enjoyed the location. Walking distance to pier and beach! Indoor pool was to cold… unbearably cold🙁 honestly was the main reason I picked this hotel just in case we got rained in… fortunately we had great weather.. but kids were disappointed about not being able to swim.

We enjoyed our family trip. The hotel was very close to several places we visited. The property needs some love; broken window in pool area, screens need replacing, paint chipped in the room. Our room had two screens that needed repair with cigarette butts in the tracks. One of the chairs had bird poop on it. If you wanted your room cleaned you needed to request it a day in advance. We wanted to do laundry and were told they needed new machines. We were always able to get plenty of towels. I took our garbage down daily and it was handled promptly. We spent very little time in the room so it wasn’t a big deal but I wouldn’t stay here again. I did pick this hotel for the indoor pool and the reasonable price.

Pool and location only good thing about this hotel. Room has holes in it, breakfast was cold one day, they ran out of food on multiple occurances, no gym even though it says they have one, no washer dryer even though it says they have one, saw roaches, one lady there is very rude she works night. The morning lady is very nice. You have to bring towels down and trash.

We were not told until we checked in that we had to pay $10 per person to ride the shuttle to the port. That was on top of $50 to park there during our cruise. It was cheaper to pay for parking at the port

I NEVER complain about a place but this needs to be known. We stayed overnight for a cruise the next day. The first room we were in had mold growing on the walls and doors, cracks in and around windows, walls and doors, smelled musty, ripped screens and had a HUGE wad of hair under the air unit. The lady at the front desk was super nice and let us choose between another two rooms. But the excuse for the rooms uncleanliness was because they hired to male cleaners…… Both also had cracks and mold in the rooms. The showers also had hair and mold in all rooms. ALL Towels and bedding had mysterious stains and hair wrapped up in them.

Dirty bedroom, dirt under the bed, stained sheets and cockroaches. I had a reservation for 4 nights and we only stayed for one, they gave us a phone number to claim the money back for the other 3 nights, but no one answered the calls. I do not recommend anyone to use this hotel.

Rooms

Several rooms feature balconies with ocean or Pleasure Pier views, but the interiors feel dated with maintenance issues (torn screens, worn paint, stiff balcony doors, older TVs). Beds skew firm, and some guests noted noise from outside.

The balcony was the highlight of our hotel stay. We loved it. The room was great. The only bad thing was the beds they were so hard you were just sleeping on springs. Every night we all woke up at like 4 am with backs hurting. The pool on the other hand was heated and great for a cold winter day.

The lady at the front desk was very helpful. The room was decent. It took me a few minutes to figure out the main light situation in the bathroom, it is built into the mirror. And I was pleasantly surprised to find the room had a balcony that looked out at the ocean and the Pleasure Pier, which is walkable distance.

3/5 stars Overall, my stay was good. The staff were professional, kind, and welcoming. I genuinely appreciate that. However, I was disappointed by the quality of the room, especially considering the price I paid. As a young Coast Guardsman traveling on a budget, it’s hard to justify the cost for what I experienced. The comforter was placed upside down (tags facing up and facing my face), one of the towels had long black hairs tangled in it, and the balcony door was extremely difficult to open. The beds were also much firmer than expected not necessarily a flaw, just not my preference, as I usually go for a softer, more plush mattress. I usually never complain, but I expected more for the cost. I probably wouldn’t book again at this price point, but I do want to thank the staff for their hospitality.

Our experience was horrible, we went on a family vacation, we booked 2 rooms across each other. One of the rooms the tv reception was horrible, we could not watch any Chanel’s, when we brought it up to the manager she said there was nothing the hotel could do. Then we were out all day at the beach and the room had not been cleaned, no towels to shower with, when I went down to speak with the same manager she said I’ll send some one up to clean it, she literally told me “I will not sit here and argue with you” I just wanted an explanation of why 1 of our rooms was cleaned and the other was not!!! We had to leave the room the whole family wet and sweaty so the room could be cleaned!!! The manager did not apologize she was just RUDE!!!

Property was very dated. Check in lady was rude. While returning to room at 6:15 am, someone was entering our room with a room key. He stated he was checking in but had a shirt around his face, no luggage, and ran down the back steps when confronted. Police were called. New girl at the front desk was extremely nervous when police arrived. I honestly feel like she gave the guy a key to enter our room while she saw us in the lobby. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The lady during the day was very nice and helpful. The night shift lady when I asked about the internet and tv not working was very rude. When I told her not to talk to me like that in front of my kids she became very angry and told me she would call the police and have me removed if I didn’t go to my room. When I told her we don’t have to go to our room she said she is calling the police and I was being combative. Worst experience for me and my three daughters

Convenient location in short walking distance to many great spots on the Seawall side of the island. This was a last minute substitute hotel for us after original reservation at a different hotel was cancelled due to a closed property. Will consider staying again on next visit.

The “full breakfast” was not. There was only a waffle maker, cereal and milk and a couple of mini muffins. The orange juice was out. There was nothing in the fridge, it was unplugged and clearly unused. So no yogurt, or anything else that would be chilled. And no fresh fruit, much less any hot, cooked items. I would still stay there, but they just need to be honest about the breakfast offerings.

This property looks very updated on the photos, but it was a letdown in the room itself. There was still plastic over the lamp shades as if they had just been put in the room. There was a big hole in the screen of the window we had as well as peeling from where the AC unit was underneath the window. The carpet was clean as far as walking on it, but it did have old stains that never got out. The bed was very lumpy, and the pillows were too soft for my husband and I and I had to request more pillows as well as towels. The staff was very accommodating and sweet to anything else we needed. I just wish the room was up to the standard that it showed in the photos. Also, the breakfast was a disappointment-it was make your own waffles, with some pastries, small muffins, toast, and cereal. There was coffee, milk, orange juice and apple juice. It was close to the pleasure pier. We were able to walk to it without having to pay for parking, but I'd probably never go back for either experience.
