What guests think

At Motel 6-Galveston, TX, guests highlight budget-friendly stays with welcoming staff and convenient access to the island or cruise port, while many reviews point to basic rooms, traffic or industrial noise, and uneven maintenance and cleanliness across the property.

Positives center on friendly front desk teams, easy parking including cruise parking for some stays, and simple stays that work for quick overnights. Recurring complaints include bugs, musty or damp odors, small and sparsely furnished rooms, missing in‑room amenities, unreliable Wi‑Fi, weak water pressure or hot water, and ill‑fitting doors that let in light and sound. Expect a no‑frills stop where price and access matter more than comfort or amenities.

The property looks run down from outside, I think it may just need a little power washing on a regular basis to keep it looking better. The rooms inside was clean and renovated, not bad at all. It was worth what I paid for a night stay. The location is accessible to everything. I liked that the parking lot had a lot of lighting. I will definitely book again for a last minute trip.

The employees were great . Room was clean and updated . But the property could use some real repairs . Unsafe pool fence . At gate area . Steel stair step edging is a hazard that's probably the owners responsibility not the employees they were busy working hard .

I opened the door and saw a dead roach on the floor right by the door. I went to use the restroom only to find the toilet paper holder hanging out of the wall. The bathroom mirror is COVERED in white toothpaste specks. There was piles of hair in multiple places. And the people above us were slamming things around and yelling all night.

Avoid at all cost. The room we were assigned was filthy. Flys everywhere, tv didn’t work and no WiFi. The hangers were covered in so much rust it looked like dust. We were moved to another room which still had flies and gnats. Mold on the door frames and curtains…the floor felt like it was coated in something. Old blood around the toilet, mildew stained bed covers. There was stuff on the wall, still not sure what it was. Overall the absolute worst experience. Pay a little extra and book a different hotel.

We were less than 15 minutes away from the beaches in Galveston. Had plenty to do around us. The room was cozy for us, but we noticed stains on the sheets, towels were not too white like they've been pretty dirty, the floor was vinyl and we could tell it hadn't been swept and mopped so we didn't feel comfortable being barefoot in the room until we sanitized everything. We didn't notice a single bug even though our door wasn't sealed properly. Plenty of toiletries and towels. Everything else was great we had our own sheets and pillow covers and we slept good in the AC l never had any trouble with anything.

The AC doesn't cool and It's filthy. The overall condition of the room is horrible, especially the bathroom. I chose to not shower because the shower and bathroom is horrible. The baseboards are filthy and paint peeling off the walls. The main door doesn't seal all the way. The AC is absolutely disgusting. The lady at the front desk is nice though.

Rooms

Rooms are small and very basic with limited furniture, and highway, train, or industrial noise is common due to door gaps and location. Wi‑Fi is frequently unreliable, and some note worn fixtures or sparse amenities alongside occasional comfortable beds.

We stayed at the hotel for about 8 hours. Just to sleep the night. Our room faced towards the highway which is right there. The door didn't have weatherstripping so we could see light through the door. We literally heard every car that went by. We might stay there again, but no way would we want the location where we stayed. We may try and find another option. Bonus: We were able to park our car during our cruise for free. That was a nice perk.

The bedding, flooring and shower look nice. No hair dryer, shampoo or conditioner. Not enough towels for the number of us. The room is tiny. One mattress is right up against the AC unit which is loud and has to be cold in order for the rest of the room to be comfortable. Shower curtain is just a little short so water runs onto the bathroom floor. It’s right next to the highway so it’s loud but ear plugs did the trick.

This location has been updated so there is no carpet. Yay! But it goes downhill from there. There are trains right next to the property going by and honking the horn all night. My bad for not checking that. Then the air conditioning unit and the exhaust fan in the bathroom (not a separate switch from the light) sound like a jet engine when they are on. I couldn't get any hot water at the sink even though there was hot water in the shower. There are not any close dining options but that was not a big deal. Sleeping was the plan and we didn't get to do a lot of that.

The girl at the front desk was very accommodating. She told us we were too early for check-in, but we could go hang out by the pool until the first room was clean. The attendant let us know right away when our room was available. The room was average: just two beds, one was right up against the wall with the AC unit. AC kept us cool enough, but it still stayed very humid in the room. Bathroom was everything we needed, but no amenities whatsoever. Basically, the price was right for what we got. Just needed a place to sleep and shower for one night before our cruise. We probably would not choose this location again. I thought it was closer to shops, restaurants, or the cruise port. But it wasn't.

Room was dirty, linens were stained, air/heat unit was dirty and had mold in it. I have tried to upload pictures, but site won't let me.

When I called ahead of time and asked if I could do early check in since I was in town for the convention, the manager was very rude to me and said no, absolutely not, under no circumstances. He told me there was a $50 deposit even though that was not listed on the website. I told him I had a service dog and he still told me there was a fee. When I checked in, the front desk person was very polite, did not charge a deposit and did not charge a pet fee for my service dog. He even recommended other hotels that are closer to the seawall for sightseeing. He was very complimentary of my dog and even gave me another promo code for another hotel on the island that was pet friendly. He also apologized for his manager because his manager did not follow the American Disabilities Act.

Room overall was clean but the mattress cover was stained. Holes in bedspread. Bathroom door had a hole repaired by what appears to be a 4 year old. Entry door did not close flush and had large gap. The motel is in an industrial area with a lumber yard next door so it can get noisy with saw and train noise. Motel 6 stays can be a hit or miss but for an overnite stay it was ok.

The Motel 6 Galveston, TX was a nice place to spend the night. There are not a lot of frills, but that is not needed for just a convent one or two nights stay. As well, I noticed a few maintenance issues on the exterior, but the the next morning someone was addressing them. In addition, there are many dining options near by, along with the beach. You cannot beat the price, and its location was great for access to island.

We got there at 4 and our room was only halfway ready. The new one had a dirty bathroom. The room was very small with limited outlets. We asked for a refund and went somewhere else

The location of the hotel is great, it’s right at the entrance of the island and is minutes away from the beach and local attractions. The check in was smooth and easy, the attendants were efficient and quick. The price per night was fair, compared to what the surrounding hotels were quoting. No breakfast options were available, which is understandable considering that it is a drive by hotel. The room is big enough for what is intended for, an overnight stay. Overall the experience was worth the price.
