Island Inn By OYO Galveston Beach, TX

All wall outlets had wires hanging out of them, and the smoke detector was hanging from the ceiling. The sheets were stained. The curtains did not close. The floors were not mopped, leaving spills in several places. The shower was covered in hair. The door had to be slammed shut, and excessive force had to be used to get the door open. The staff were not helpful. There were homeless people sitting all around the property. People yelling from one of the rooms.

This was the worst place I have ever booked. I have literaly been Catfished with this place. The photos shown are not what it is. When we walked into the lobby we were hit with the odor of mold and feet. A Gentleman up front with no shoes on checked us in and asked for a $50.00 deposit, and told us he is giving us his best room. We felt (ok, our room wil be better). We were wrong. The room was discusting and smelt of mold. I dreaded to take a shower, but I needed one. Had to put my sandles on to even shower because the shower was so horrid. Also, everywhere else felt unsanitary to even sit down. Including the worn out bed and furniture. We proceeded to go to dinner plans and come back hoping things would feel better. We were wrong again. The room reeked of mold and previous customers bad life chioces so bad, we could not breath well. We packed up our few things and went to the office to let them know our concerns. The man with no shoes on stated there was nothing he could do for us beside refunding the $50.00 deposit after he went up to review the room. He asked me to have a seat while he checked the room, but the lobby's discarded old room furniture looked disgusting. We were stuck looking for another hotel at our additional expense at 10 pm.

We arrived and the room was atrocious. The air conditioner rattled so loud it shook the entire room and turned off and on all night. At 3 AM I registered a formal complaint with Expedia and we booked a hotel elsewhere. I went the next morning and they told me at the desk that they would honor the ability to refund the second night of our stay and then turned around and told Expedia that they would not be able to do that. This is absolutely misrepresented on every website, including Expedia. Do not stay here!

Close to beach

Dirty room, towels were threadbare, bathtub and vanity dirty. I sprayed the room down with Lysol when I got there.

The pictures provided online will justify the truth about the rooms. The cleaning is not good and there’s roaches.

I was looking for an inexpensive place close to the beach that allowed me to check in early and i got that. The staff was nice.

rooms dirty beds stained old and smelling. blankets and pillows with blood stains .

This place is one of the worst I’ve seen specially for its location close to the beach it’s so sad how poor maintenance they do and lack of sanitation in the place it’s so far from sanitary there’s mold on the walls, showers, not a bet sheet in sight that is new or at the very least not stained by something, getting to the room you have a beat up door with hardly any paint to greet you and as soon as you walk in you get hit with the smell of I don’t know what but it’s so disturbing and disgustingly gross I could hardly breath in the office let alone in the room and we had 3 booked 2 of the being 2 beds and 1 king size bedroom totally a waste of money I don’t see how anyone could sleep comfortably in this place I’m surprised it hasn’t shut down, would definitely qualify for demolition when does the bidding start ? Aside from everything we had to experience I’m left questioning myself whether these places ever get health inspections or atleast checked for lack of maintenance and health risks because man I hate to say it but this place is a hazard with how much it’s got going on and the office people are like unaware of the issue so that tells you everything.
