The room and hotel was not as advertised. The hotel was not as pictured and room wasn’t what I was expected. I will not be booking again. All the information needs to accurate because it was as advertised!

TRU BY Hilton Galveston
We had a great stay. AC was a little off and kept getting warm then cold. We paid for an ocean view but it wasn’t a full ocean view. We were expecting a full view and not just a little corner facing the ocean.
