Bayou Shores Hotels near Galveston

"We normally love this hotel for the close access to the beach, water view, breakfast, close proximity to restaurants and shopping and their helpful and friendly staff. Unfortunately when we arrived this time they were undergoing an extensive renovation. Nothing wrong with fixing a place up, but there was no mention of this on their website or when we made our reservation. Our room was great and had comfortable beds and bedding, some new furniture, etc. We were sent next door to their sister property for breakfast, which was delicious yet inconvenient. Parking our car was challenging, as was figuring how to get to the front desk because of areas blocked off for construction. I'm sure they'll be done renovating soon, but it would have been nice to know in advance that all this was going on. I would suggest contacting the property to see if they're done if you're thinking of staying here, unless you don't mind some inconveniences."

"The VIP room was smaller than expected. There’s really no perks and no reason to charge more. "

"Great place to stay. Room comfortable and large . Lots of parking and felt safe ."

"The room was clean but small and out dated. I knew what we were getting into (I read other reviews). The price was good and the staff was friendly. We did feel safe but the place was a little run down. We left our car there for a week when we went on a cruise and it was just fine when we got back. The only real problem was someones car alarm going off all night long. Could hardly get any sleep. But that is not the hotles fault. "

"Its a more older hotel but definitely a place to checkout. Double booked by accident and hotel has a no refund policy so be careful about the dates"

"The main reason I selected the Holiday Inn Express was because it had a Beach view room available. I selected it, I paid for it upfront, at check-in I again requested the beach view I had paid for only to be given a room with an large open field with just a partial view of the beach. I again approached the hotel front desk and requested a room with a beach view and was only offered a room with less of a beach view than the one I had already been given. No thanks to the Holiday Inn Express Galveston Beach for ruining my wife and I 9th Anniversary weekend. "

"Room itself seemed clean. The bathroom wasn't spotless. Found a bug in the bathroom. The kind you don't want to take home. People are friendly and convenient spot. "

"Across from the beach and next door to Kroger. Safe, garage parking was nice. Nothing fancy - but worth the price paid "

"Loved our room with balcony overlooking the beach."
