Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG
Had a balcony room. The rooms has a lot of space and can see the ocean from to balcony. Staff was very helpful and nice. They also have a really good breakfast selection! Only down fall is getting across to the beach was kinda hard. There is no cross walk by this hotel.
