I wanted to stay in Galveston for a few nights either side of a cruise, and wanted to be close to the beach, downtown area, cruise terminal, places of interest and restaurants. The Mariner's location on the seafront near the pier is great. The swimming pool is a good bonus as the sea is often rather rough for swimming. It's a motel-style property with large comfortable rooms with TV, microwave, en-suite bathroom with shower, USB charging sockets and fridge. A basic complimentary breakfast of coffee and blueberry muffins is included. A few soft drinks and candy bars are on sale in the reception area. There is an ice machine. Pool is unsupervised and strangely is open from 11.00 to 23.00 daily. Property is clean and reasonably quiet despite location on main seafront road. If you don't have a car, the seafront trolley (bus) stops almost right outside and it's a short walk of about two blocks to the downtown trolley (proper streetcar on rails). The pier is a little further. Location is ideal. Don't expect too much in the way of frills: public rooms are limited to the reception/breakfast room and there is often only one member of staff on duty, who can be overworked if lots of people are waiting to be served.
