James Marx, manager of the Best Western Beachfront Inn, 5914 Seawall Blvd. in Galveston, said many of the evacuees he had spoken with also planned to leave.

The hotel would try to accommodate people who want to stay this weekend and would offer discounted rates for people affected by the hurricane as well, Marx said.

Room rates could go down to $49 after the holiday weekend.

Marx said he is working with the hotel's corporate offices to offer the lowest rates to the refugees as possible.
