Great staff at this facility make up for some small deficits. My friends and I were staying at the marina, which is a bit neglected. But beyond that things were top shelf. Check in staff were excellent and anticipated our needs, including detergent for the laundry. Happy hour in the bar and pool were very good. Dinner at Sherns was... More

A friend and I stayed a night at Moody Gardens to relax and enjoy some mommy downtime. Self parking was non-existent on the weekends, so I strongly recommend using valet parking. $18 (a little pricey) will allow you to come and go as many times as you like and great service from the valet guys who were quick and very...

My husband and I stayed here in April while he was participating in a convention that was being held at the hotel. His company actually paid for the room, so I can't speak to price for the average person. However, I have gone with him to convention hotels before and this was one of the best we have stayed in....

We agree the beds were needing to be replaced. Last week we actually started to replace all beds in the hotel with new Sealy mattresses. All the new comfortable beds will be in place by Memorial Day weekend. We have been getting great positive feedback on the new ones. I hope you come back once they have been all changed... More

When we checked in we found black substance in our sink, not enough towels and no wash cloths. Housekeeping came and cleaned it up. We took showers only to find the shower backing up into the sink. Maintenance comes and attempts to fix the problem and house keeping comes back. The next morning the sink once again has black substance... More

I stayed in the North Tower at the hotel. It was nice and clean but the decor is really outdated. It seemed like a cheesy hotel from the 80's. The staff were very nice, Charles helped us with the luggage and was awesome. He knew everything about the hotel and it's amenities. The rest of the staff were great too.... More

It is located in Moody Gardens, so location is great if you want to visit Moody Gardens. Rooms were quite good, spacious and clean. The layout of the rooms is a little complicated and maze-like. The dining options are some what limited and nothing great nearby. They do provide a shuttle to Pier 21, etc in the evening. But hey,... More
