auctiontx Posted August 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Try Gaido's Seaside Inn - old school but clean, comfy, 2nd floor balcony rooms with a view and right across from the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbillycruisers Posted August 18, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2011 We have stayed at both Gaidos Seaside Inn and Holiday Inn ...both have good views of the water. Holiday Inn was higher...our room was 4th or 5th floor. Gaidos is only 2 story, but much less expensive, and has one of our favorite spots to eat. We'll be staying at Gaidos again this December. Both places have free cruise parking, and Holiday Inn has a free shutle to the ship and back. If you stay at Gaidos, ask for their Cruise Special...you get discounted room and a discounted meal in their restraunt.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted September 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yikes- we are going in March, I think, and many many hotels are showing sold out already. Would love to stay at Gaidos Seaside Inn , but no rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooulio Posted September 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2011 We are staying at San Luis Resort on the Seawall. It has balconies and looks nice. We will know in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfganghowell Posted September 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Commodore on the Beach has balconies. Older place and haven't stayed there in years though. We do Hotel Galvez but no balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGBCruiser Posted September 22, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2011 We are staying at San Luis Resort on the Seawall. It has balconies and looks nice. We will know in February. You win the prize for the nicest hotel w/balconies on the Seawall!!! It also has a huge heated pool. You will be happy with your choice! BTW...Gaido's Seaside Inn is pretty dumpy and all you get is a view of the parking lot! Too many other nice places in Galveston to stay to go there. The Hilton is right next to Landry's and has a large number of rooms that have balconies! When we go over to Galveston for a weekend, we usually stay at The Galvez too. I love their pool and love the old hotel. It's haunted too! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisingzs Posted September 29, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I agree about the hotels on the Seawall, most except maybe the San Luis will have aparking lot views PLUS the 5 lanes of the Seawall. If you have a car, there are several time shares that rent out (sometimes a 2 night minimum) that are at the end of the Seawall but right on the beach. We have a place at the Escapes to the Gulf. All have balconies and most of water views. You won't get a breakfast or free parking or a shuttle. But they are really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstoncruisers2001 Posted October 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I don't see the point. Why do you want a view of the brown water? Save the view for the ship and save your cash by not even staying on the seawall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGBCruiser Posted October 6, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The water down here has really looked pretty this summer...I think maybe because of the dry weather and not so much silt flowing down this way from Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbillycruisers Posted October 6, 2011 #15 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I dont care if its brown or green...for this Missouri boy, its cool to sit outside and enjoy the view. Last time, we watched some cool surfing. It may not have been Hawaaii Five-O type waves, but it was relaxing to watch! We'll always stay on the seawall!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you Galvestonites, or Galvestonians, or whatever... :p Looks like there is a biker rally in town on Nov 6th. How's that figure into the seawall vs. strand debate?

Galveston Cruiser Posted October 12, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The Lone Star Bike Rally is November 3 to 6. If you don't have a hotel room, they will be difficult to come by, expensive and require a minimum number night stay. There are only 2 hotels near the Strand, Harbor House on the port at Pier 21 and The Tremont on Mechanic and 23rd. If you can get a hotel room, try the Seawall. But if you have not reserved something, I really don't see you getting a room at this late date. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there were a lot of hotels with rooms. :confused: I guess the biker folks are heading out on the 6th and not staying that night (thankfully for us!).

cruisinatdawn Posted October 15, 2011 #20 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm just trying to figure out which hotels in Galveston offer a shuttle to the cruise terminal. On the websites, I've been searching, most say close the the terminal, but I am not seeing any hotels have a shuttle. How do most people get to the terminal from the hotels?

Galveston Cruiser Posted October 17, 2011 #22 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Call the hotels and ask about their shuttle service. Most have an 800 number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkc1973 Posted October 27, 2011 #23 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Not sure about shuttle services, but last September we stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. If you find it on google maps you can see it was still under construction when that was taken, so it's quite new. We loved it and it was reasonably priced. It's kind of at 29th and Seawall, but there's only one small building between it and Seawall and if you are in a room higher than the 2nd floor you have a clear view. We are going to be cruising out next July and I can't imagine us staying anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience - Tremont, Galvez & Hilton. I'm sure there are others. Try http://www.galveston.com for places to stay. Most of the hotel/motels post their services. Stay on Seawall Blvd. It's a great way to get ready for your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
