Best Western Plus Seawall Inn & Suites by the Beach

Beautiful Gulf side hotel With a nice view And a quiet location. A short walking to food and coastal area. A bit difficult to find beach access. A great jump off to the cruising center. Downstairs guest are is clean and modern. Pool is also very nice and you can see the ocean easily as you relax. less

The BW Plus Seawall Inn by the Beach is not your typical coastal hotel in that our rooms, unlike other chain hotels that we looked at on the island, were very clean and bug-free. My parents, grandmother and I were put in Rooms 106 and 108 not only so we could be together, but also to spare my 88 year old grandmother from using the stairs when the elevator was out of service on our first night. This hotel was part of a present consisting of a trip to Galveston for my mother’s birthday, so when my dad and I gave the her confirmation with our original date to give her the idea of our Galveston trip, she changed the dates according to her preferences, which she did easily with the hotel. Breakfast was also delicious and extensive, while the staff was conversational and friendly, as is the case with most Best Westerns. Though we did not participate in a cruise, I would also recommend the hotel for a hopping-off point for cruises, as the hotel is conveniently located on Seawall Blvd and has shuttles to cruise ships. Only thing I noticed that was out of the ordinary was our TV’s would sometimes randomly power off after a few minutes of using them. But of course we didn’t come to this BW or Galveston to watch TV so this doesn’t change my outlook of this facility. Thank you BW for taking part in making my mother's birthday trip to Galveston a memorable one! less

Hotel and rooms were very clean. I've stayed here for a lot cheaper before than i did this time that was probably the only negative remark i have. Everything about the stay and hotel was nice but it's not worth $170+ to stay for one night and a 4 o'clock check in time. less

Pros: great location, clean, good-sized room with easy chair, nice layout, well-maintained. Cozy bedding. Cons: I could not get the wall heater fan to turn off, so it ran all night, a bit noisy. Nice breakfast but VERY LOUD TV. I believe the desk clerk, Cheryl, wanted to hear the TV so she turned it up loud. I asked her to turn it down, but no response. So our breakfast was ruined by about 12 loud non-stop TV ads. Breakfast room is small, so no escape, but several guests went outside to eat breakfast. Not a peaceful way to start the day. I wish motels would turn the breakfast room TV off, or just the Weather Channel on mute. less

We stayed here a night before a cruise. The room were nice. The place is great. We took their transportation to our cruise. There may be some hotels closer but this was fine. The transportation is round trip which we didn't expect - we only went 1 way. After our cruise we headed out but they would have picked after the cruise and taken us back to the hotel. Our driver was very friendly. The breakfast was great. Breakfast was a little crowded but I didn't mind. There was a wait if you wanted a hot waffle but if you were in a hurry, you could run in and grab something to eat and then head out. The shore was fun to walk long, We didn't get in the water here. less
