Will definitely rebook next time we need to stay overnight in Galveston!
Liked: So cute, and comfortable. Didnt see any staff, but thats ok! It was like checking into a vrbo. Super easy. Coffee maker and cute retro refrigerator and microwave in room. Also had a back patio, but it was to cold out to enjoy
Disliked: The church across the way had unsheltered people living there. You couldnt see them from the hotel as they were on the other side. They didnt come around. I felt safe, but definitely was aware of my surroundings when walking around outdoors

Do not waste your money on this property!!
Liked: This was advertised as a five star hotel. This property is not a hotel. It is an Airbnb at best. Theyre going for retro, but what they really have is tired, old and shabby. I paid good money for this hotel to give my son a cool experience, and was extremely upset upon arrival.
Disliked: Everything. It was in a dark side street that seemed a little sketchy. There was no staff on site, so any issues had to be managed through email or a phone number. It smelled of cigarette smoke, and there was a shutter outside our window that banged literally all night long and so neither of us slept a wink. The bathroom floor was, for some unknown reason extremely oily, so it was hard to walk on. We had to throw down towels. The only good thing I have to say is that the shower was nice.

Very good
Liked: The location was perfect to visit The Strand area of Galveston. One parking spot was included with the room and you can walk to all the shops and restaurants. The room was clean and the A/C was cold. It was quiet in and around The Oleander the night we stayed.
Disliked: The bathroom was clean and the shower looked wonderful. It was big and had the choice of rainfall or handheld attachment. Unfortunately, the temperature of the shower could not even be described as lukewarm, it was too chilly for me!
