Hotels in Galveston

Traveling out of Galveston next May. Can anyone suggest at hotel to stay at wither it's in Houston or Galveston with transportation to the port?

We probably need a bit more information like how are you getting to there, are you flying into Houston, which airport IAH / Bush or HOU / Hobby, how do you plan to get to the hotel, ....

Houston hobby and probably super shuttle as transportation. Still in the very early planning stages.

We just flew in to IAH and took a one way car rental from Enterprise - stayed the night at Country Inn and Suites (hotel dot com) - dropped luggage at the port in the AM, returned the car (Galveston) and took a cab to the pier - took Galveston Express back to IAH at disembarkation -

After months of research it was the best choice for us.

I have found that Inn at the Waterpark is a great place. They have on site restaurant. Next to Moody Gardens as well. Reasonably priced and have shuttle service to the port. Hope this helps. Have fun planning.

IN GVS, the Galvez (on the beach) or Tremont (near the terminal) both expensive.

I just booked a room at the Country Inn and Suites for the night before our cruise in February. I was wondering if there are restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. We won't have a car so I'm hoping we can walk somewhere for dinner.

There are several places to eat along that stretch of seawall blvd within 3-4 blocks anyway.

We're doing our first cruise out of Galveston in quite awhile... it was definitely pre-hurricane the last time we sailed from there.

What I've noticed is the hotel prices are WAY higher than they had been previously! We've stayed at a couple of different places and really liked Harbor House the best -- but they too have gone up since our last stay there.

I always love driving the port a day or two early when we sail from Galveston, but we're now reconsidering that. May do the PL thing and take our chances with a one night pre-cruise instead.
