West End, Galveston hotel rooms at the Independent

"The rooms are horrible."

"My balcony faced another hotel’s balcony with thick wires hanging done in front and you could barely see the beach if you turned your head 90 degrees. The bananas at the continental breakfast looked like they had been to the war front! The were brown and damaged. Also, there was no bedspread. They only had a small piece of a bedspread covering the foot of the bed. The window shade did not block the sun and the room was too bright for sleeping. The shower leaked water all over the floor and was slippery and dangerous."

"Check in was a breeze, plenty of parking and the vie from the balcony was awesome. TV was nice and big refrigerator was nice and cold. Lots of choices for breakfast - eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles fruit, juice, good coffee, and all the usual breakfast items. Room was clean, bed was very comfortable with plenty of firm pillows. My only wish was to replace the chair with a recliner. We stayed 3 nights and totally enjoyed our visit."

"No complaints "

"There was nothing that we could find to complain about! The room was clean,staff was most helpful,The breakfast was a full breakfast not just a few pastries!"

"Right on the beach and away from the more tourist area of Galveston. Very nice pool area and hot tub. Quiet and ample parking. Staff reached out to check in on us throughout our stay and made us feel like valued customers."
