The room was decent size and nice. On the website it said the beds were “pillow top” they in fact were not. They were so uncomfortable and hard. Also I was shocked checking in when they told me there was a $100 deposit that I would receive back in 3-4 business days. I expect a deposit just not that much. It should be listed when you book your room or at least somewhere on the website.

Good hotel, book direct with Hilton not hotels.com
Hotel was great. Hotels.com screwed up my reservation, and only showed 2/3 rooms booked. Wifi was unable to function because my reservation still would not show in their system after I checked in.

Hot tub was down, was looking forward to relaxing while the kids swam in the big pool. It was hot; though the jets did not work and looked like it has been that way for some time. The pool area was nice and clean. Rooms clean and staff friendly.

November Stay at Hilton
Adrian, the Valet, was outstanding. He was very friendly, efficient and did a wonderful job assisting us in parking our car and helping us with our luggage two times to and from our room.
Still have a hard time believing that the Hilton still does not have a functioning phone system. We have stayed there several times over the past several months and there has every time been the issue of no phone service in the rooms. Poor!!!

Outstanding
We stay here every year for the Lonestar motorcycle rally and love this hotel! They were experiencing a power outage when we went to check in however all the employees were very helpful and doing their best to assist everyone. I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name who was the Manager in duty however he was outstanding! The rooms were remolded and extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed. The Hilton is always our choice while staying in Galveston.

Cruising
My family and I stayed one night prior to boarding our cruise. All of the staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and ready earlier than expected. The food in the restaurant was hot and fresh.

Hotel great customer service not so much
The hotel is beautiful and has a lot of amenities. Perfect location and spacious rooms. The only thing I would say if the customer service is not welcoming at all. I would stay again because of hotel itself, but their customer service will have some customers not return.
