This is a great hotel across the street and parking lot to Moody Gardens. It's also near to the Schlitterbahn in Galveston, but the two seem completely separated business-wise. Beds were a little small (for 2) and creaky. More

As for the hotel, no complaints there either. The rooms were slightly dated, but everything was in working order and room had excellent amenities (robes, toiletries, Keurig coffee machine). I...

A very nice resort close but not right on the gulf. An aquarium on the grounds & waterpark next door make it a family destination. A convention was here and the one bar was understaffed to handle the large crowd. Resort is very spread out so a lot of walking. More

I have quite a history with this hotel having put on company Christmas parties there for several years in a row. The corporate sales staff is wonderful to work with (especially Kim Connor). My son and his new wife chose Moody Gardens for their wedding ceremony and their reception. It was a small affair with only 30 guests, but we... More

We got a living social deal (2 night room, 2 day unlimited attraction tickets for Moody Gardens) so we went for the weekend. It was a little hard to find at first, we ended up in front of the convention center, then the ballroom, but we made it after just a bit. The front desk was pretty nice (with one... More

We spent our 33rd wedding anniversary at the hotel while attending the Festival of Lights. The Hotel and the Terrace Restaurant were wonderful. We got the package with the Festival of Lights and had a great time walking and looking at all the lights, listening to the music and sounds of Christmas and the roasting of Smores around an open...
