"I had a pleasant stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach. The location is excellent, with convenient access to the beach just across the street. The room was very clean, and housekeeping did a fantastic job refreshing it while I was out.
One tip for future guests: be careful when selecting your room type if you want a direct oceanfront view. I booked a room described as an ”ocean view” with a balcony, but it overlooked the restaurant next door (The Spot) with only the ocean visible in the background. When I inquired about an upgrade, I was told it wasn't possible because I had booked through Trip.com. Also, please be aware that parking is not free and the lot is not directly connected to the hotel. Overall, it was a nice stay for the price."
