50th Surprise Birthday

We had planned a quiet weekend away for my 50th. My friends surprised me and we had the best stay. Stayed at the pool all day Saturday, enjoyed Landry's for dinner and out on the town Saturday night. We will definitely be back.

I like easy access to the beach. I was given an upgrade without my knowing although I had pre-registered and paid Expedia. At checkout they tried to charge me. Hilton Galveston does not have free parking it cost $ 21.00/day. Please make sure properties are checked for parking rates.

This place was completely horrible. The staff were rude and not helpful at all. The room is very small especially considering the price you pay. There was hammer going on above us. There was crumbs and sand on the sheets as soon as we got there. When we finally had enough we decided to check out early and the management told us there is a early check out fee. And on top of that they have double charged my card. I will never stay here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. Stay here at your own risk.
