Independent in Gulf of Mexico

"The front of entrance has a very strong odor. The area is a little run down however, once inside the front lobby is nice. The rooms do need updating but they are clean overall 3 star"

"Love staying at moody gardens! It’s my to go place for relaxation and comfort when visiting Galveston "

"This hotel is very worn! I heard they are going to make it into apartments! I would be ashamed if I were Whyndam! Our AC in room 213 was not up to par! Several other things I took pictures of was so outdated or worn. Very sad for our anniversary, pool was closed! If you want a bed and a hot shower that’s the only worth in this hotel! "

"The lobby bar makes the best drinks! Friendly staff from valet to housekeeping!"

"We loved this hotel! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Jose, the Lobby Ambassador, went above and beyond to make sure we well taken care of. We would definitely go back."

"Pool and hot tub was very nice "

"This was the worst place I ever stayed. The pool was congested with lots of children and it was very loud starting early morning until late at night. I was there 6 nights and could not use the pool once due to being overcrowded with children. The pool bathrooms were very dirty, and toilets overflowing daily. The room was not cleaned the entire time during my stay until my husband complained on day three of the stay that the room needed to be cleaned and we needed more towels to shower. We had to clean the room ourselves, get our own towels, water and toilet paper. For breakfast, my fork was bent and the handle on my coffee cup was cracked. The breakfast was horrible. The hotel was loud until about 2am nightly because the night clubs across the street had bands or music playing every night. The fridge was never cleaned out from the last stay so when I got into the room, someone else’s food was still in the fridge. The toilet paper holder and the towel holder were loose and almost falling off the wall and cabinet. The room I booked was identified as a Gulf View. It was NOT a Gulf view. It was a view of the pool, the parking lot and the loud pool heater. There were palm trees blocking the view creating a partial, loud view of the ocean because we were placed on the fourth floor. I was so upset I tried leaving the first day I arrived but had to stay because there were no other hotels rooms available in the area. So disappointing when you have your heart set on going on vacation. "

"We loved our stay at the Island Resort! The pools and grounds are beautifully kept and are very fun for the guests. Its walkable by beach or parking lot to several restaurants and stores. We will be back!"

"everyone was very friendly"
