I loved the pool but it was dirty, had bugs floating around, rooms was clean and ac worked really good
It was a nice and quiet stay at the beach. The Crystal Palace was reasonably priced and my dogs love all the space to run, but their mosquitoes were horrible.
The facility and room was not worth the cost of the room. It was a motel and had the wear and tear of salt water, etc. The room was large and supplied with all the needed furniture, mini fridge and microwave but the sofa fabric and sheets had stains, the tub leaked every time you took a shower and had rust around the drain. You could hear people in the nest rooms and they allowed pets so
Lots of barking dogs. Window sill looked like it had been chewed by a dog. The first room we were given smelled of mold but after alerting the staff they moved us to another room.
The room smelled and had water stains on the walls and roof and bed sheets looked disgusting we couldn’t get a refund so we just went home and took a lose on this rental. Highly disappointed
Was moved to a second room due to TV not working, 2nd room roaches came out to play right at dark. Stafff was nice. Booked thru a third party was able to get a full refund thru hotels.com. Went over to Galveston and got a much nicer room for less money
Great place to stay if your travels take you to Crystal beach or if you are leaving on a cruise!

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall a pretty good place to stay. We did have several problems with our door card, and no, we did not have it next to anything magnetic, and we kept it in the paper sleeve. You should be aware that they do not offer room service every day so if you need extra towels, you’ll have to call them and they will bring them for you. The pool was very clean and refreshing and it’s a very short drive to the beach.
Didn't care for the trailer trash that seemed to be living there. Excessively loud music , smoking and drinking at the pool , including pot , were very loud , obnoxious and rude.
