Galveston Hotels

Gorgeous hotel with scenic views. Friendly employees , especially the valet staff.

Cleanliness atmosphere the hospitality

We have stayed at All the finer Hotels on Galveston Island. Moody Gardens is by far the Nicest, cleanest and updated Hotel on the island. We were in town meeting with a Real Estate agent and decided to give Moody Gardens a try since we had never stayed there. We were Pleasantly Surprised. This Hotel was Spotless and the staff was more than friendly and seemed Happy to be there.

We couldn't stay longer. This Hotel is Not on the beach so that might be a drawback for some. It does however have the waterpark which is the bomb for kids.

The rooms were very clean, staff was very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the breakfast. There was a shuttle that took us and brought us back from the cruise port, and they allowed us to park our car for the week we were on our cruise, which saved us a lot of money. Loved the mini golf course which was free to the guest. I would stay here again.

Absolutely gross. Didn't like anything about it.

Old, smelted, homeless people in the parking lot. It was absolutely disgusting.

Too much noisy around our room,family's really loud at night time could not rest well.

The service was great! Pool bar Lina Colodas by far the best on the island! Perfect location!

Only thing we wished were better were the pool hours! After dinner on the island it would have been nice to come back to the hot tub for some drinks!

This is a great hotel to stay in. I would not pay the full price for it though. We only stay here when we can get a deal. it's definately worth it if you can do that. Other than that it's clean, good service and I love the historic aspect of the hotel.

We liked the decor, the jazz ensemble in lobby, front desk staff courtesy, location to the strand, positive and friendly responses from staff, the valet's were very kind and helpful as well a the young lady at the front desk - we had a great time!

Very nice room. Comfortable bed!

Room and clean, quiet, and WAY bigger than I expected.

The only small thing is that it's hard to get into and out of the hotel parking lot due to traffic and the way the streets are arranged. Not the hotels fault, bust something to be aware of.

The power was out the first night, cold shower in the AM. Never apologized and lack of concern.

This wasn't the fanciest of hotels but it was clean and a great value!! We only showered and slept in the room so we weren't looking for fancy. It was perfect for our on the go mentality.

Large room

No table and chairs

Very clean hotel in a convenient location...the staff was extremely nice and the breakfast was excellent. It's an older building but well kept and quite popular.

Convience to local attractions. First time there in Galveston . I love the area overall. The only thing I would say is parking was limited and had to squeeze around other cars in the tiny area. Room was very small for the price.

We had to share swimming pool facilities with other hotel next door and not enough towels in the bath room

The pool is great . The Itialian restaurant was a huge hit with our son saiid the pizza was amazing.

The pool

He air condition was super loud and could not sleep. There were roaches in our room.

Clean, affordable, good service, I will stay there again.

No comment

Access to beach.

Cleaning staff monoplized the elevator. Guests had to climb stairs to 3rd. floor.

On the beach and swim up pool bar

I called the front desk to have someone come fix some issues in room and no one ever showed up to our room

The location is great proximity to the beach. There was a big, clean, beautiful pool with a swim up bar. They have happy hour so it's reasonably priced. The hotel has buffet breakfast for @ $12/person. The room was clean, with a balcony with views of the ocean & overlooking the pool. Every room here faces the ocean so there is no bad view. I will go back to this hotel!

Waterfront rooms and pool. Plenty of activities for kids.

No Continental breakfast

Great location, computers with printer available, nice pool, great club attached, friendly staff.

The ice machine on our floor did not work. We had to take the elevator to another floor and trying to get an elevator took forever.

Our TV didn't work correctly. We put on Pandora and talked for hours. We've been married for 22 yrs and this was an amazing stay

Mardi gras parade was right in front and able to view from balcony.

Location was great, right across from the Gulf, balcony with a water view in every room. Attached to a mediocre breakfast spot that does room service on request. Pool area facing Gulf / Seawall Blvd with a delightfully tacky tile fountain pouring into the heavily chlorinated pool. Cute in the way that old 60's and 70's motor hotels can be provided you don't expect the Four Seasons for your $80/night. You get what you pay for. I was happy.

Staff was not especially polite or accommodating. Room A/C was set to arctic upon arrival. Cleaning staff had my dates incorrect and woke me up as if I was being raided by the police, then acted as if I were the one that had made a mistake. Entire operation a bit dilapidated. Basic customer service absent, but I arrived late - perhaps the day shift is more personable.

Reservation online 10 minutes before we got there, literally! I booked and then drove down the Seawall...check in was easy, got in the room. Simple process. Like the mini fridge and microwave in the room. Comfortable. :)

The A/C was kinda "struggle-y"; hard to cool down, and even then it was sorta humid cold.

Large room, spacious bathroom

Had trouble checking in because I booked and paid thru kayak. There were 2 people ahead of me at checkin that we're having the same troubles.. After standing there for 15 min., the deck clerk was kinda sour after asking my confirmation number saying, "your the third person in a row with that same conf number beginning with an R and ours don't have that!" So she tried to look me up in their computer system and doesn't find me there either.. After showing her my confirmation email from kayak on my smart phone as proof I had reservations that were paid for, I ask what should I do?! She replies, I guess your gonna hafta call them.. This with the other 2 people she's having trouble with still standing there. Long story short, I get kayak on the phone and the desk clerk has my printed check in info there the entire time, she was just obviously to untrained to check that first!! Then I find out that breakfast isn't open untill 6am.. I am there on business.. I had to be to my job site by 6am. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was to get a decent quick breakfast before going to work.. Disappointing!! Also, there is only about 10 parking spaces in the front of the hotel. The rest are underneath, needing a room key to access the elevators up to your room.. The access key card wasn't working.. So you had to take the stairs.. Not a very safe feeling being a female traveling alone for work arriving at the hotel after dark!!

Easy access to the cruise facilities at Galveston, TX. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Available choices for dining in the neighborhood are limited.

Clean, comfortable and polite staff

Location was ok

Lots of bed bugs and sheets and comforters stained all over. Smells and dirty disgusting

Very friendly and clean

It was a very comfortable setting. Love the bathroom. Even though the view was not the best the patio was very nice size.

The price for 1 night was a little ridiculous. I would stay here again but at a cheaper rate than what I paid.

Location to where I needed to be

Crying Screaming Kids at Midnight Next Door Guest Banging/Kicking My Door repeatedly at 1AM because I knocked on theirs because of the excessive noise Drunk Loud Guests Front Desk Called Me to tell me I started it....

Easy to get to location wise. But I drove by it because I couldn't see the name due to all the foliage & the location of the sign.

No breakfast.

nice comfortable room

would change the coffee in the room and wish there had been a balcony .otherwise I recommend it highly.

It's location and staff are really cool

Ac auto cut makes sounds

The location was very convenient, and our room was clean. Checking in and out was very easy. The price was much more affordable than other hotels available at the last minute. I didn't try the breakfast, use the internet, or turn on the tv, so I can't comment on that. Staff at the front desk was helpful and friendly. I will definitely look at staying here again.

The bed wasn't very comfortable, but the rest of the stay was great.

I loved the decor

The front desk agent wasn't friendly and seemed not to want to provide us with info about the hotel.

I loved the feel of the hotel, it was sophisticated and modern yet nautical at the same time. We were impressed with how large the room was! The bed was super comfy as well. We really enjoyed our time here.

There was no microwave anywhere, even in the kitchen for breakfast. It was a cold breakfast so the least we should have been able to do was warm up a pastry. There was also no refrigerator in the room to save leftovers. The light in the hallway next to the door kept fading on and off throughout the night and we couldn't get it to stop. Instructions for when this happens would be great. Lastly, there was a parking fee that was completely unnecessary... It's not in the middle of downtown at a shared garage or anything where parking is scarce and even the restaurants can't park there...

The tile floor

The floor looked as if it had not been claned in days and it was very sticky

It was cheap

Not clean enough

Family friendly, has everything you need for a weekend away, but it's not a luxury hotel, just a comfortable place to rest and relax . No wow factors but we had everything we needed including a fridge and microwave. No complaints at all.

Noisy because there are wood floors and no carpet to absorb sound.

The location of the hotel was perfect!! Literally about 5 min walking distance from the seawall. Clean rooms, awesome management, great breakfast!!

There was an extra visitor (critter) in our room that kind of blemished out experience. The halls were also rather warm, like there was no A/C running

I want to thank Crystal for her excellent service and personal care! She took extra effort to make sure we were in a room that we liked. Thanks Crystal!

The pool was perfect delicious breakfast spotless turndown service spacious room.

NOTHING

EVERYTHING

Location was great, staff was friendly.

the a/c in the hallways was not working, the small pool was overcrowded, hot and dirty. There were only 2 towels and NO toilet paper left available for us. The A/C unit in the room had food stuffed in the vent.

Location

It was all good.

bed bugs in my room!!!!!!

They "upgraded" the rooms. Scary to see what it looked like before.

Cockroaches everywhere! Still felt like it slums! Ants in bathroom!
