"It was a 7 minute (0.4 mile) walk to Pleasure Pier which was the most important feature for our stay. The ac was nice & cold. Since our time was packed & busy, we didn’t get to swim in the pool but it looked clean & my daughter tried out the hot tub. The problem was the bed. It appeared fine until it was sat on. It was broken on one side & would go down just on that side. We picked it up, set it on the legs & made it work by sleeping on the other side that wasn’t broken. The Kuerig lid needs...

"Keep doing what y'all doing"

The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

"The property was beautiful, and we especially loved the antique bar. We enjoyed having happy hour at both bars, but we really enjoyed the rooftop lounge and bar the most. The drinks were excellent and the food was fantastic. In regards to our room, it was beautiful, and we loved the wood floors with the inlaid carpet. The bed was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed the view of the foyer. Overall, we had an excellent trip and we can’t wait to come back again and enjoy the Tremont once more."

"This condo is a steal for the location. Walking distance to the beach, lots of restraunts nearby. Definitely wear shoes on the porch, lots of uneven boards and some nails poking through. My final note, don't try to adjust the TV, it definitely has fallen(weird spots in the screen) and will fall again."
