The Flagship Hotel Over the Water Galveston Texas TX. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Date of Stay: August, 2008

We got to the hotel on Thursday and the lobby was hot with box fans laying about the floors. The hotel staff that day were none to friendly. We got our keys and went to the room and could not get in the room had to go down stairs four times before the guy came with the master key and figured out that our keys DID NOT work. The elevators were always messed up when we went to look for the stairs we could not find them they were not clearly marked and when my daughter used them she couldn't get the door open it was to hard. When we first got in the room there was a dead roach in the tub and it smelled like mold. Lets just say I will never stay at this hotel again. I thought it would be nice to stay there cause of the location but we could have paid just about the same amount for a better room and better service.

The air conditioning was not working and I was not advised of this upon arrival. I checked in and called about the air conditioning and was brought a fan and told it was being repaired as we spoke. I took my family to dinner and came back around 11 pm to find my room still over 80 degrees. Called again to be told it was not being fixed that there was nothing wrong with it, I could not find another room on the Island at that hour. My family was unable to sleep and very uncomfortable. Upon checking out I was told by the person presenting himself as the manager that I was not telling the truth that there was nothing wrong with the AC it had to be me. This was surprising to me considering I stood in a long line of people checking out openly complaining about the lack of AC.

Needs immediate overall renovation in order to justify room rates. The beds were uncomfortable. The elevators were antiquated and very slow.

After staying here we will definetly be back. If you are wanting something new go to a new hotel not an old one. Yes the rooms would stink to picky people but when you have a balcony over the ocean it will smell like the ocean! The only bad thing I would say about the hotel was the elevator was scary and the shower was a little tricky to work. Other than that we will definetly be back and can't wait to bring our daughter here.

I was a little leary to begin with. Check in went great! The left elevator is fine, but the right one is a bit scary. Lots of noises and creaking and jerking. The hotel had a very musty smell. I guess do to it being out over the water. Our room was clean. The bathroom did need some maintenance. The view was great. Of course, we were right over the ocean!! We had dolphins jumping right under our balcony. You can fish right off the balcony. We didn't know this ahead of time so we didn't have our fishing gear. Overall it was ok. The kids enjoyed being on the ocean.

Room was fine, balcony over ocean gave graet view.Our biggest problem came after checkout. my wife realized three hours after we checked out that she had left her purse in the dresser drawer. She returned and was given access ro the room to find it had been cleaned and her purse was not there.We asked to speak to the manager. The only manager on duty was the desk manager he informed us all property found was given to housekeeping manager and locked up and she was the only one who had accses. I asked don't you as manager have access to all things in the hotel.I was told that was not the hotels policy.i Iasked if the mainranence man could get into the lockup and was told no! I offered to call a locksmith to get into the lockup and was told again that he could not get into the lockup per hotel policy and that we would have to comeback the next morning I said as a service oriented buisiness maybe the needed to revise their policy. We called the police to file a missing property report. After the police arrived the manager came out with a PADLOCK that had been cutoff. 30 minutes later we had her purse with all contents.I extended my hand to thank the manager for getting her purse , he warefused to shake my hand.This whole incident took about two and a half hours amd the involvement of the police when it could have been cleared up in ten minutes. WE are returning to the same destination this weekend with our 2 daughters but sorry to say this hotel has lost our buisines do to its desk manager!

I chose this hotel simply because of its vicinity to the water. It did not have a road between it and the waves. I kept my balcony door open all night and any time I was in the room. We sat on the balcony most of the time we were there. We were on the top floor on the side the sun rose, it was AWESOME! Since we didn't have an ice box in the room, I bought a little styrofoam cooler. The hotel is close to so many restraunts you can walk to, and the others are no further than two miles. The parking is great (and free) you also have a stoplight to help you out of the lot instead of waiting on your opportunity. We never needed a microwave with the food so close. The staff was so nice and helpful.

The hotel was old and out of style. The room furniture was very 80's and worn. The hallways and rooms had a mildew smell to the them. Would not stay there again.

In generl this hotel deserves commendation for trying hard to keep the guests happy. It needs upgrades but the hotel is very old and will take time. The view is great and the Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful

The Flagship Hotel located on a Pier in Galveston offers the best view of the Island. Though the hotel itself has seen better days, the view compensates for the hotel's dated and worn interior.

I don't sleep in hotels alot but when I do I like comfort overall. This facility was cozy. It was an old establishment but @ least it was nicely kept. The elevators could be inspected but overall I had a nice view of the gulf & I slept well.

The Flagship Hotel was very disappointing. We had stayed there at our honeymoon about 30 yrs. ago. It was as if the same beds were there. They were very uncomfortable!!! We changed rooms and that helped somewhat, but not much. The rooms were not updated. The bathroom was okay, but there was no counter to put your toiletries on. I am not much of a complainer as I have stayed in worse hotels in other countries, but to pay that kind of money you would expect the beds to be comfortable. The beds felt like we were sleeping on a box springs. The breakfast was good but the microwave was dirty. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. The hotel staff was very kind and helpful and we appreciated that! There wasn't any luggage stand in either room. The room was spacious and the bedspreads were nice - sheets and towels were clean and soft. The view of the beach is exceptional. If they would update the rooms it would be great!

Our overall stay at this hotel was great. We were right on the beach and we had an awesome view of everything. Location wise we were in the middle of everything so it was great. There was an odor to the room and its a rather old hotel but overall the stay was wonderful and relaxing. There were no dining area to the hotel, however we did eat at at very good restaurants.
