Top Galveston Hotel Reviews

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

8/10 Good
"Enjoyed my stay including a relaxing dip in the pool and dinner at Grotto restaurant. My room had a great view of the ocean and the balcony made a great place to end the evening watching the white caps along the shore! I expected the ambiance to compliment the room rate but this wasnt found. Therefore, I spent more time in my room than I desired. Having some type of entertainment in the evening would have been a nice addition to the guest experience. I self parked in the hotel's $30/night parking lot located in the back of hotel across the street. This was not listed on the website and was a total surprise. If I would have known this cost in advance, I would have valet for $45.Yes, the little things still leave a lasting impression."

"Don't waste your money on the breakfast buffet. Order off the menu or go to Miller's. A room that was a reasonably priced ended up costing more than $200 a night. With the Expedia Reservation they put us on the 2nd floor and when I checked in they informed me that I would have no view. For a mere $65.00 + tax they could upgrade me to the 5th floor which I did. Why go to a Beach hotel and see nothing. There is also an $8.00 + tax amenity fee that I was unaware of, and a $15.00 a day parking fee. My total estimated cost for our stay was supposed to be $511.75 and turned out to be $888.00 which included a few drinks from the bar. The hotel has been totally renovated and is very nice, but I'll probably not stay there again."
