“Howard Johnson Galveston is inexpensive, but the overall impression suggests a property struggling with upkeep, including sticky carpets and stained linens; on the plus side, the staff seem to be friendly. For travelers focused on budget above all else, it might suffice for a night, but be aware that you might find better value elsewhere. This is a property where managing expectations is key.”
