reklawr Posted June 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Can anyone recommend a really good hotel in Galveston? I need to arrange transportation from Hobby to Galveston. Does anyone have any experience with the Limousine services in Houston/Galveston?

reklawr Posted June 15, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Lougee, We're taking the Panama Canal Cruise from Galveston on April 2,2005. Stopping at Cozumel, Belize, Puerto Limom. Montego Bay, and Grand Cayman. I'm trying to determine the best way to get from Hobby Airport to Galveston and back after the cruise. I'm thinking that a limo may be the easiest but also the most expensive.

reklawr Posted June 24, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Can anyone give me some information on these hotels in Galveston: Tremont - seems fairly close to the cruise pier Galvez - pics of the Galvez are beautiful. It is only 5-6 mins from the pier Harbor house - seems closer still to the pier. Has anyone had any experience with these the hotels? Thank you, Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B J Posted June 26, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I'm not familar with the Tremont but can highly recommend the Galvez and Harbour House. The latter is right on the pier and you can watch your ship come in the morning of your trip and within walking distance of several good restaurants.

ginag Posted June 26, 2004 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2004 :) [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]We've stayed at the Harbor House for our previous cruise. Exceptional! Large spacious rooms, attentive and knowledgable staff, and a 5 min. walk to the terminal. The price was a good value we felt, and we left our car in the well-lit parking lot for 20.00 dollars, which I'd do again. Many nice restaurants close by and is located in the Strand District (historic).[/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]The hotel allowed us to use their luggage dolly to transport our things to the termnal, and when we returned one of the porters helped us back to the parking lot (20.00...our choice)...that was a big help![/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]We will stay at the Harbor House again this fall and just can't wait. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask![/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3] ~gina~:) [/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
