What guests think

At Best Western Plus Seawall Inn & Suites by the Beach, travelers praise the friendly staff, convenient seaside and cruise port location, and solid hot breakfast, while noting an older building with periodic maintenance issues, thin walls, and occasional elevator outages. Many found rooms and common areas clean, but recurring comments mention musty or mildew smells and occasionally damp carpets. Free cruise parking is a draw, yet it often leaves on-site spaces scarce, and noise from neighboring rooms or above can be an issue. Expect a simple, good-value stay near the beach and port, with helpful service and a small outdoor pool, in a property that feels older and can be busy during cruise periods.

Small outdoor pool is appreciated. Free cruise parking is a draw, but on busy cruise days on-site spaces are scarce and the elevator has been out of service at times.

We arrived early on Friday. There was plenty of parking. We left for dinner and upon return (cruise ship passengers had arrived for their trip the next morning), and there was not one parking place left) even in the fire lane, or street sidewalk. Cars were parked every inch around the property in areas that were illegal places to park. This was Friday night, same cars continued to be left in those spaces until we left Sunday. It would seem Best Western had rented those parking places to the cruise passengers for the week they traveled. It left the guests at Best Western with no parking places. Except to park illegally. Which we were forced to do. This should not be acceptable, as it reflects badly on your national brand of a great hotel chain.

This -lace gives free parking and snacks to ppl going on cruises. This makes parking a nightmare. The cruise tourists were loud and rude. The management seems only interested in making money and not the comfort and convenience of its clients. The staff tried to be helpful but, they were never at the desk because they were attending to the cruise passengers. Would not stay here again.

Glad to have had breakfast included in our stay. WOuld like to have had another drink option other than coffee or strawberry water. Water, apple juice or OJ would've been great for the kiddos. We had a drunk man open our door with his key the first night and tried to enter the room. It was very late and we heard him trying to gain entry to other rooms as well. The door bar was in position however so he was unable to access completely thank goodness. I alerted the front desk who re-keyed our room keys. Crisis averted!! : ) The pool was amazing and parking was the best I've even encountered at a hotel. We will stay again!

My only positive was the front desk staff, they were friendly and tried to fix my issue. My room had a musty damp smell and there was mold on the curtains. My biggest issue with my room was the shower. The shower handle was broken, it just spun around and around and I think this is the reason it wasn’t producing hot water. I was there for 3 nights and for 3 nights I took cold to luke warm showers. The sink however did have hot water so I started using a cup of hot water from the sink to shower. The breakfast had spots for yogurt, but no yogurt, they had eggs and sausage but only pork options so I had to pass on that as well.

There were lumps all over in the floor so it would hurt your feet if you walked barefoot and trip you if you had shoes on. We had an “ocean view” and could barely see the ocean for all the buildings. And what ocean we could see was far away. Don’t waste money on an ocean view upgrade, you’ll be disappointed

The lady at the front desk was the best part of our stay. She was so nice. The breakfast was your typical hotel breakfast. The room was terrible. There were big hard lumps all over the floor, underneath the carpet. We were so confused about what they were. It was weird to walk on it, and of course it looked terrible. The floor was pretty dirty, but everything else in the room looked decent. The beds were firm and uncomfortable. We expected way more for the price that we paid. It was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at, but one of the most expensive. We definitely won't be back.

The hotel is an excellent location to downtown Galveston and the seawall It is not too far from the Port of Galveston. The hotel allows guests that are going on a cruise to leave their car on the property for the duration of the cruise at no extra cost. You save money by not parking down by the port. There are inexpensive options for getting a ride to the port.
