Cute and comfy Positive: location and unit was perfect for our needs. Would recommend for a quick visit to the area. We stayed here the night before our cruise to make things easy in the morning. Negative: There was a lot of noise but thankfully it quieted down before bedtime. Parking instructions could be a little more clear that you're pulling into a lot that says something about the business next door.

It was very good and presented value for money. Positive: The room was very good and generally neat. There was a cork screw, plates, cutlery and microwave, fridge and other amenities which made our short stay fun. The suggestion to visit Sugar and Rye, which was just opposite the property was very helpful for us as check-in was 4:00pm but we arrived around 2:00pm, so we had a nice lunch at Sugar and Rye with our luggage by our side and waited for the clock to hit 4pm. The location was also close to our Carnival Dream port which was super helpful Negative: The pillow case was old and needs to be changed. Facility to hold luggage for visitors who get to the property early should be looked at. We had to wait till 4pm with our luggage to check in, if there was a luggage hold facility, we could have stored them and started our fun activities earlier

Positive: A beautiful location, that the owners obviously take great care of! They provide bikes that you can use to get around town and go to the beach, and it's so close to Anything that you are looking for! We stayed here the night before a cruise and got in late, but we were still able to walk to a local restraunt to get some food 💖 this place is lovely, and I will be staying here next time I come to Galveston! Negative: The lockbox for the key is an old style and we had trouble getting it to open
