We had a great time at the Galvestonian! The proximity to the beach is unbeatable. We cooked multiple meals and the kitchen was clean and well stocked. The staff was very helpful and they worked with us on adding guests and adding late checkout.
The hot tub was not working, but it was not missed. 1202 was just as advertised.
