What guests think

Reviews of Economy Lodge by Hotel O Texas City describe very low prices and a location convenient for reaching Galveston, but also repeated cleanliness problems, pest issues, and a rough-feeling surrounding area that raises safety concerns for some guests.

Rooms are generally worn, with multiple complaints about uncomfortable beds, broken fixtures, poor lighting, and occasional A/C or lock issues, though a few guests found them quiet or adequately functional. Service feedback is mixed, ranging from friendly staff and quick fixes to unhelpful interactions, unexpected fees, and unresolved concerns. Best suited to short, no-frills stopovers rather than travelers seeking comfort or high standards.

Ok look, the hotel rooms were clean functional and we have no complaints about the rooms, the price or the staff. The are around the hotel is definitely a working class neighborhood with some individuals struggling through life and doing their best to survive. The hotel had a nice little grill we used to have a family picnic and a grassy area that our kids through the football in. It was better than expected and for the cost it was worth it. It’s perfect for sleeping and showering.

And the only good thing about the property was there's a corner store right next door to it that's the best thing I can say about it. There was people that knocked at our door that we didn't even know looking for drugs the air conditioner didn't work I was sweating all night the staff didn't care they wouldn't give us another room and the room was very very very small look nothing like the picture on Expedia I was scared to walk to my car because of the neighborhood and the surrounding area will never stay here again and the bed was dirty there was cigarette butts on the floor by the TV in my room so that tells me they don't sweep her and mop or anything It was disgusting

The check in was fast. The first night was very uncomfortable because the bed was like sleeping on plywood and the pillows were very flat we woke up with neck pain. We had to go to Ross to buy pillows. Then wake to go to the restroom and drink water open the fridge I saw several roaches inside the mini fridge and under the sink. I saw dead crickets by door. Torn shower curtain, faucet needs to be replaced. The iron was gone. The floor needed to be sweep and mop I took off my shoes and walk barefoot to take a shower and I felt the the dirty floor. I had to use a towel to wipe my feet before getting on the bed after my shower. Gross I go on vacation 3 times a year room and this place is my worst stay.

I know the price was ok but the condition of this property was horrendous. It’s so old, everything looked rusted, so much of the grout in the room was just caked on dirt. Unnecessary cables just hanging down from behind the tv and not plugged into anything. I was there 5 nights and the cleaning crew didn’t come by one time. Never saw them on property. Stay away.

We visited Galveston after traveling from McKinney, Texas, but we reached our destination at 3 a.m. Despite booking a hotel room for the same day, we were asked to pay an additional fee of $70 for early check-in. As I had never encountered this issue before at any motel or hotel, I was unable to pay the fee, and we had to sleep in our car. However, checking in at 3 p.m. was quick and easy, but upon entering our room, we found a dead roach near the toilet and an unflushed toilet, indicating a lack of cleanliness. Additionally, when I opened the fridge, a roach crawled out. Due to the hotel's location and the suspicious individuals surrounding it at night, particularly at the nearby gas station, I would advise against bringing children here. The overall experience was disgusting.
