    If I could do zero stars I would. First I rented three rooms and paid 150 per to to find out they were rat nest. We were locked out of our rooms and them asked what we did to her lock with all five kids with me. Then refused to refund my money had to take a window out crawl thru myself to get my belongings thank God the Pearl inn accommodated us with great service and rooms please do your self a favor a skip the Bates I mean the Rosenberg inn worst place ever.....

    This place was dirty… needed to be vacuumed because it looked like fish scales in carpet at the kitchen area… it was hot n smelled musty in there… the little fridge was not plugged in…the towels were on the bed with the trash can liners… The tub looked like they had been washing a paint bucket n left it unwashed…. The curtains were different colors and the cold water faucet in the restroom did not work but the hot water side did and it was cold…the toilet water was scalding hot and the hole in wall was stuffed with a roll of toilet paper…. The windows were airish…No ice machine…. Just a bad experience. I had requested 3 beds as there was 4 of us…. Did not happen…. Not at all what I had seen on the site.

    Yeah, this place set a whole new level of low expectations. The entire building looks like it should be condemned. One of the beds hadn't had the sheets changed, the bathtub didn't drain, curtains hanging by a single hook. Despite all else, it is in an excellent location and Galveston is fairly expensive so it worked for a quick stay but I won't be staying here again.

    If there was a below zero scale....that’s what I would have rated this filth...the owner was very rude to the point that she threw me with my passport after I had asked to view the room and told her I can’t stay there. Firstly the place does not look anything like advitised, it’s literally falling apart and looks like u will get robbed...I will not mention the room because that might take a lot of typing as I have a lot to say... Overall it’s HORRIBLE....I repeat DO NOT GO THERE!!!

    Don’t know where to begin. Really shoulda slept in my car. No parking…. Adjoining room that had a missing door knob with an old sock stuffed in the door…. Bed was 3 mattresses stacked on top of each other… had no way to turn on the hot water in shower (handle missing) and when I asked the owner she acted like she didn’t know anything about it and wanted to know what I thought she’s should do. I jokingly said “ get me a set of pliers” and she had them readily available. First thing we did after entering room was check for bed bugs. Was hoping I wasn’t going to be murdered in my sleep. Happily turned in my keys and pliers promptly at 7:30 am and got the heck out of there.

    Payed for a room and after a 4 hour drive , I show up it was already taking and didn't have any available. Very rude manager, false information on wed site. Then makes u pay for cancelling when they sold the room to someone when u get there. Horrible place to go and now I have to drive 4 hour home and didn't get in joy my vacation.

    The worst of the worst. 1st room upon arrival, had standing water in the tub/shower. Went to office and owner wasn't there. She came out of room 3 and asked if we had a problem, told her about the water, she acted shocked. She said she was sold out, she then said she had 1 room, so we moved. Upon arrival of 2nd room, I had 3 fleas jump on my left leg, then 3 on my right leg. My partner also had fleas jump on his leg. We decided to leave at that point. Upon meeting the lady manager again, telling her about the fleas, and saying we won't be staying there and want a refund, she told us "no one else has a problem with the rooms, the only people tonhave a problem is YOUR KIND, and u said "you kind as in those with standards as you should have in your rooms" she refused to give me a refund. She refused to give me a partial refund. I have her on video. The racist Rosenberg is horrible.

    There is only one word for our stay here, and that word is HORRIFYING. It looks like a rundown shack and has limited street parking when we first pulled up. When we got our room key and entered a disgusting stench came from the room. The fridge was dirty looked as though it hadn't worked in ages and was not even plugged in. There was a dead roach on the floor of the "kitchen". When we got to the bedroom we were greeted by a hard mattress, a barely working tv, and the roughest blanket I'd ever felt. Even more terrifying was that there were cigarette burns and BLOOD STAINS on the sheets. It looked like bedbugs had been feasting on the last occupants. The bathroom was indescribable. The sink did not work at all, and the toilet barely would flush. We didn't dare to try the shower. I paid over $100 to stay at a crack shack. There were people that looked like they were living long term in this place, and there was literal trash and junk strewn about the property. I wouldn't wish a stay at this place to my worst enemy. This place should not be listed or promoted on any travel sites because it is not even a habitable property and should be shut down.

    The room and the whole experience exided my expectations especially after I reading those bad reviews. This more than 50 year old motel named after the street it's located on has his history and dignity. Definitely it saw better times but it's still good. Our room on the second floor was nice with comfortable beds and the sea view. We had a good night sleep. We had hot water. Everything was clear and maintained with care. There were in fact two rooms. The entry room with the kitchenette, the fridge, the microwave was a plus. The giant plus were the screens on the windows in the bedroom, which most of the hotels now don't have now. We used the natural air instead of the conditioner. We had a unique experience. Thank you!

    Bedbugs. Roaches. Crack heads. Meth heads. Drug dealers. They have it all !At the moment, there is a drug dealer in room number 1 that delivers on a obnoxiously loud motorcycle. He was on a run at the moment. So,if you like bedbugs and meth dealers keeping you awake it's your place.

    The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in . Went in to drop off our stuff and head to the beach didn’t think to check the whole room. As soon as we walked in the AC was off the room literally took 4 hours too cool off . Once getting back there was no one in the office we checked our pillows . They were filthy roaches everywhere literally looks like someone lived in that room and just left for the night. The whole place has kidnapping vibes. Left a note in the office I know the lady seen it but ignored it . Fell asleep while waiting for someone to go in the office so we can get our money back . This place is a complete scam !!! DO NOT BOOK . Had to call the cops and got a case number along with another lady that checked her room after I told her ours was filthy. This will not pass the health inspection!

    One of the most unpleasant hotel and motel experiences I have ever had. Yes it's right near the pier and it is cheap but you definitely get exactly what you pay for. Was charged a "visitors fee" for being dropped off to the hotel so I basically paid for 2 people when it was just me. Would not recommend at all .

    Worst place to stay in Galveston. We setup reservations a week or two in advance to lock our $95 a night deal in. When we arrived we got there on time and the lady that runs the front window would not honor or reservations, we had a deluxe double bed for one night reserved and she was telling us that we didnt even though we had our reservations pulled up on the phone . We ended up having to pay the extra for it . And then later that night I went and asked for 2-3 towels , she says "I put towels in there " over and over . She was acting like I was trying to steal her raggedy towels . But finally she gave in and gave them to me. All in all dont stay there. Had a guy stop in front of me while I was on our balcony asked me for a lighter , gave him a lighter and he used it to light his CRACK PIPE. That shows what kind of place it really is ... never again

    It was the worst place I have ever stayed in here in Galveston or must I say anywhere in my life…….. 1) the room didn’t have a door 2)the restroom water didn’t want to stay on in the shower 3)the restroom door didn’t want to close 4)it felt like we were going to go through the floor if we walk to much in there 5) it smelled like cigarette 6) the blankets had ants and small spiders in between sheets 7)the TV didn’t have internet 😂 so we couldn’t watch anything 8)last of all the hotel is nasty don’t let the pictures fool you 🤦‍♀️ NEVER AGAIN

    I stayed here before and will never go back. I'd rather sleep in my car. Front desk is never available, roaches everywhere, thinnest and smallest towels, a Crack addict walked into my room and started ranting. The locks were broken! Stay away.

  • 1/5 EM and M. 4 years ago on Google
    I would not recommend this place to anyone.The "kitchen" had a microwave and a refrigerator that were both falling apart. The whole room smelled like cigarettes and was extremely run down. The tv remote worked but the volume button didnt and it was turned up all the way and wouldnt turn down.After my family and I came back to the motel the door to one of our rooms was stuck and all the stuff we had was inside. The lady who owns the place came out and tried to fix it. We had to climb through the friggin window to get our things. When we said we wanted to refund our money she would only give us hhalf. OH! Did I mention there was RATS?? My brother saw a few run across the floor in his room. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. If I could give this zero stars I would.👎👎👎👎👎

  • 5/5 Consepcion V. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is very affordable at the times we got it. Mari Gras weekend they tend to jack up the prices but I think we got a deal on this one..the place is older so u can't expect anything but how old the place is.. So I was very pleased on the price the bed was comfortable nice hot water and very thick towels.. The manager owner in the front was very polite and I felt my car was safe because she was always watching..which is a good thing.. I was definitely be booking another time whenever we r in Galveston.. I Loved the place..

    Cheap and cold room was good for sleeping and holding my stuff which is crazy because that’s all I needed just remember to bring toilet paper lady who ran it was great they made sure we had a place to park and our car didn’t get tampered with. Don’t expect the Hilton but it met my needs and that was dope I would stay again

    Checked in there was no parking the owner had to move her car, got to the room the ac didn’t work had to have 3 different rooms trying to find an ac that worked. The last room they put us in had rat dropping on the bed we ended up leaving and going home later that night. Don’t recommend on staying here

  • 1/5 Leslie A. 4 years ago on Google
    DO NOT STAY HERE. These reviews simply cannot capture the essence if just how awful this place is. I have never seem a scarier ' hotel room'. The lady that checked me in even said, people ask for upstairs rooms, because they say it doesn't look like the pictures. (Really! I realized this was understatement of the year material after I saw it. ) NOT ADA friendly. Stairs at every entrance.

  • 1/5 Bare B. 9 months ago on Google
    If I could leave a -5 I would!!!! This location is literally falling apart and unsafe. Parking is scarce. Unsavory loiters outside that font speak but just stare. Get a tetanus shot before staying. And get antibiotics after leaving. It's that disgusting.

  • 1/5 Sami O. 4 years ago on Google
    The a.c. and fridge are off when you get here. The bathroom is gross and everything about the outside screams shady stuff happens here. It is really close to the beach though. Terrible for the price.

  • 2/5 Cindy P. 4 years ago on Google
    What this place has is a great location. It's old and it's not anything fancy. However it has what you need a bed, a small refrigerator, TV, microwave and A/C. It's literally walking distance from pleasure pier. I wouldn't recomend it if you are looking to spend time in hotel away from home. However if you are just looking for a place to wash up and sleep perhaps it's ok. Just be aware the tub drainage is a bit slow.

  • 3/5 Darth R. 3 years ago on Google
    Not The Ritz. But if you're on a tight budget and aren't picky, into a poor man's 'glamping,' it'll do. A mom and pop local business. Could use some TLC and major investment to bring it up to date. Does have a little kitchenette with a microwave and fridge. I've stayed here before in a pinch. I'm giving it 3 stars out of kindness to the elderly couple that owns and runs it by themselves. If you aren't picky, want something cheap and just a couple of blocks from the beach, then go for it.

  • 1/5 Ed Van C. 1 year ago on Google
    We were staying at a vacation rental across the street from the motel and even from a distance I could tell this is a motel to avoid. The room rate savings aren’t worth it. Read the other reviews left here and look at the photos.

  • 1/5 Vintage S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was just an all around bad experience. First off the description on booking dot com was not accurate and then it showed less for the room then whenever I went to pay it showed way more than I was quoted. The lady at the front desk was very rude and lied about having a credit/debit card machine online so whenever we got there we could not pay with card for the deposit .. I could go on and on about the false advertising this place is doing online...

  • 5/5 Jamie C. 3 years ago on Google
    The rooms are really rundown and you can tell no money is put into this place at all. It is by far the most unique place I have ever stayed BUT I did not come to Galveston to snuggle in my hotel room. The rooms are clean, there are no bedbugs and no other infestations. No weirdos hanging around, we felt safe. The staff is REALLY nice and the price on the island can't be beat. I do think more towels need to be provided and the price could be cut a little but even as is, we will most definitely be back. The only thing I find odd is they don't allow pets. Theres nothing a dog or two could do in a couple of nights to make those rooms any worse for wear.

  • 1/5 CyanideSuicide G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely not. Do not go here. We had reservations and when we arrived the place was abandoned. And very trashy. No one was there. We called to see what was going on and got hung up on. And when we called back several times they never answered. Huge waste of money and time and we had to cut off our trip short because of it.

  • 1/5 Joey A. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow. Wow wow By far the worst ever. I actually never saw anything worst. Maybe the movie vacancy was similar. We booked last min. There is no parking so we parked away and walk over. Then I saw all the plywood on the windows that was a bad sign already. And the Windows AC hanging like the falling down. Was no no. Walked to the front. And saw there is no office. Was a little window like you check into you prison cage. And I looked up stairs. Look like the build with 2 by 4 a security frame so no one will fall. You may think I am kidding. I am not. Then I walked behind because no one was in the front. A guy on a wheel chair shout on me to go to the hotel room in front I walked over. A lady come out. With a bad attitude. She didn’t even say at first she is the owner . After I have said I have a reservation. She give me a nasty attitude. And say Go away. I say. Ok. Please. Can I get my money back. She said. I didn’t charge you yet. Until you check in. Of course they did. I am fighting to get my money back. I rather sleep in my car. Then this place. Be aware. This is not a joke. Unhealthy. There is a trash dumpster in front of the rooms. Be aware please
