It's currently letting Galveston Yacht Club re-establish off of the property. It has multiple floors an is outfitting for meeting or all kinds of spaces, classrooms, etc. I haven't had a full tour. Tons of docks - they are being repaired with a goal date of the end of the year I think, maybe sooner. Prime area. I believe the goal is to sell it to a group to further sailing education and participation which is really cool. Great staff.

November 21, 2021…read more AWESOME EXPERIENCE with Captain Clement Jardin!! In honor of my 60th BD on the 23rd...we, "just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...a tale" of 3 gals on the bayou!!! (gilligan's island song reference) The three of us had the best time...Sunday FUNday! It was predicted to be a 40-80% chance of rain ...BUTT, not today Satan...the weather was perfect...hardly any clouds, 75 out and a decent wind...Capt Clement was patient, friendly and informative. I was the captain for about an hour...then I asked my friend to take over...she hesitantly did! We were on a 30 foot sailboat called, "the lift off!" It had plenty of space to sit. While on the water we met several other sailors/captains that Clement knew and we got to talk to from afloat. This outing cost $50 each and we were sailing in Offatt's bayou for 2 hours (maximum is 3 hours but, we all had to pee, so we lost an hour...old bitty's!!! LOL!) All in all, it was a FANTASTIC experience ...very zen. Get this...one friend aboard hadn't been on (any) kind of boat in 38 years (she had been involved in a near fatal boat crash at 14) and today, was the day she conquered that fear of water-crafts. We all learned a lot from Captain Jardin and about ourselves. " and if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again" (christopher cross 1979) For information about this sail...you can reach Captain at this email cjardin@ssbgalveston.org Or Call 409 572 2560 Do it!!!

She was so friendly and so knowledgeable on how to set up the tables and how to him prepare for the wedding that we decided to go take a look and it is absolutely gorgeous. So the day of our wedding the weather was 90% rain Miss Kelly kept a very watchful eye on the weather and our ceremony was done without any rain then it poured down and she was on top of getting everything in order moving to tables clearing out the water. Our guess we're never inconvenience her staff were very professional you didn't even realize they were there they moved quickly taking out trash arranging things to be in place and she was just an absolute angel. If you're one in a outdoor wedding with someone who cares about you and your wedding party this place is a must especially with Miss Kelly thank you again for everything you did

The place is well kept and the bathrooms were more like a home bathroom in a good way- than a public bathroom.

I believe all the staff members here may have missed the hospitality training because during my…read morethree-day stay here, not a single staff member greeted me with a smile or demonstrated any form of hospitality. They weren't rude, they were just simply unfriendly and unwelcoming. The hotel is enormous and spacious, offering a plethora of amenities, including free parking which is a wonderful perk. The best part is that it's conveniently located within walking distance of the pyramids. There's also a shuttle service available to take you there, but we opted to walk instead because again, the staff isn't the friendliest. The valet/shuttle guy had a very unapproachable vibe. Despite the unfriendly staff, I believe the hotel is an excellent choice for those visiting the pyramids, especially if traveling with kids. It's such a convenient location. Additionally, you get a significant discount on tickets purchased at the hotel. An all-inclusive all-day pass costs $45, and it's well worth it. Note: There are two self-ordering kiosks in the lobby area where you can purchase tickets. However, you'll need to ask the staff for the password to unlock the screen.

Through the week we had large sessions, smaller breakout sessions and a final banquet. The banquet food was good (I've definitely had worse and better, but it was fine)! We had chicken and beef with mashed potatoes and green beans. From an AV standpoint, the audio systems worked well throughout the conference space, the decor and uplighting was a perfect complement to the information being delivered and the video portions were displayed well. The bathrooms were very clean and the view from this place is great! It's walkable to several hotels and restaurants so it's a great place to host an event!

I'm gonna be honest here, I was impressed by this place. The size is very accommodating, and can…read moredefinitely fit just about anything in here. While I was here for a training event, they definitely made use of the space. For a majority of the time we had used the space mostly downstairs. When I say that the space here was huge, it was. The one day our event was going on downstairs and the area high school was starting their prom upstairs. As we were closing up for the day, the prom was coming in for the evening. Honestly, you wouldn't have known there were two different events happening at once in this building. I also would like to point out that the Convention Center itself is part of a bigger complex of buildings. If you have the ability to spread out your event you can use spaces in the hotels that share the complex. As far down as the San Luis I believe. One perk of using this space, and if you set it up, you can have a shuttle running between the many hotel buildings and the convention center. Sure beats having to walk the long blocks to get here. The only downside here is the amount of air conditioning being blasted from the rooms. I understand if there is a huge event with tons of people, but when you are sitting next to an empty room with no one in it, that air can make you think that you are sitting in the arctic. The biggest highlight of this space is the view. You have a great weather day outside and you get some beautiful views of the Gulf.

When we arrived, he was present but walked off with another customer and had a friend show us the venue. I expressed clear interest and was ready to pay the deposit and half upfront. The friend called Robert, then returned and told me and my fiancé that he "was not interested" in renting to us--no explanation and no direct conversation. As locals to the island, and as a decorated disabled veteran, this experience was especially disappointing. Being dismissed after being ready to commit financially felt unprofessional and disrespectful. The interaction left us feeling judged and not taken seriously as clients. I would not recommend this venue.
