Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and well maintained room (looks have just been remodeled). Staff was always super friendly and made special accommodations for us to be able to have our 2.5 service animals and their sister. Breakfast was great with multiple choices- hot and cold alike. This hotel is awesome for the cost! Perfect location- right across the beach, a fishing pier, and within walking distance to about 10 restaurants. Kroger is right next door, and Walmart is a short walk away if you want to get food to heat in the room. We hope they will all us back in late April for our semi-annual 2-3 week stay. We really would prefer to stay here over any other place in Galveston! Thank you guys for making this a great trip!"
