Top Historic Downtown Galveston Hotel Reviews

Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the availability to walk to Moody Gardens attractions"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to be right across from the beach. The hotel was clean and even though we had to wait an additional 20 minutes past check in for our room to be ready the staff kept me updated and informed and worked as quickly as they could. The AC blew cold air in Texas summer heat. The parking can be an issue. You can pay for the garage. If not park in the street for free. It was not hard to find street parking. Just a little bit of walking! Recommend staying here!"
