Hotwire Hotel: 4* Galveston Hotel Galvez

[prbailey256]

Bidders beware - Hotwire has changed their rating of the Galvez from a 3.5 Star to that of a 4 Star Hotel. Trip Advisor shows it as a 3 Star. Hotwire - you have lost me as a customer! Even the Hotel Personel I just soke to do not claim the Galvez to be a 4 Star!

Thank you for sharing the details of your purchase.

Have you tried calling HOTWIRE in regards to the star rating?

While i don't know what you were expecting, the reviews are very good for this property and this is almost half price, so overall it seems like a pretty good deal.

Your readers who are trying to win/not win this hotel may find it helpful to know it is now listed as a 4 Star on Hotwire.

FYI - The golf course and tennis courts are NOT near the hotel so those icons are misleading. Yes, I called Hotwire. It was a total waste of my time. Thank you for allowing me to post!
