We used to stay at the Victorian Condotel years ago. On the beach and family oriented. I don't like the word "cheap". I think of Days Inn or Motel 6. What you want is a good value...try the Victorian. Start making res now because Galveston has become quite popular with it's many attractions.

JJ: There are a lot of people with seven figures incomes that enjoy "slumming" in Galveston. Galveston has character, it is not the generic beach town. I always enjoy a trip to Galveston. By the way, if anyone spots a troll under the causeway with a respirator, please lay some rubber for me.

I, too, have a 7 figure income and I love New Orleans, Miami and other "run down" towns. Galveston just doesn't have anywhere near the same charm, IMHO. If you like it, Houstonguy, great! I don't and was just sharing my opinion. No comebacks necessary.

Here's another negative vote for the Flagship. It's a great concept built out over the water like that, but the place is pretty awful - thin walls, dank smells, overall kind of dingy and bad service to boot. We were very disappointed, won't return there.

Galveston can indeed be fun for a weekend. The old downtown is spruced up with some good places to eat and stay. The harbor area is small but is an active working port & you can visit the tall-ship Elissa. Then you can visit the Moody Gardens & Aquarium etc.
I second the comment about the Seascape, it's at the end of the seawall road where it jogs inland a few yards so it's right on the beach whereas the others are "across the road" from the beach.
I heartily second the comment about the Flagship. It is A-W-F-U-L, dirty, dank, full of roaches. Utter disgrace to the community.
