vbecky Posted February 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi I am looking for hotels that offer free shuttle to the cruise terminal in the Galveston area. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbillycruisers Posted February 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The Holiday Inn at The Beach has a free shuttle...at least it used to. We stayed there in 2009, and it did then. It was a nice place with balcony rooms overlooking the water. There may be other places with a free shuttle, but thats the only one we've stayed at. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsnikel Posted February 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2012 There are a number of hotels that offer that. We are booked next week at the Hilton Garden. They have (or had when we booked) a special of $79/night... free parking & shuttle. However, a free shuttle really shouldn't be a deciding factor, IMO... a taxi from most anywhere in Galveston to the pier is only about $10.. and quicker in most cases.

The time we took the free Holiday Inn shuttle, the shuttle was quick going to the terminal, but we did have quite a wait when we got off the boat...we had just missed getting on the shuttle, but it filled up, so we had at least a 20 min or so wait for the next one. We've never had to wait for a taxi. I'd do the free shuttle again, but a taxi is probably quicker..unless you get lucky.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooulio Posted February 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We stayed at the San Louis Resort. It was a beautiful hotel or resort. Would stay there again anytime. Their sister hotel Hilton offers a free shuttle. You can request your time. You just have to give a tip. Very classy place. We stayed there Feb 10 & Feb 11 this month. Even got to go to the Mardi Gras Parade and catch beads. I am glad I got to try Galveston area. I do find the ships a lot bumpier than in Florida. We have done 12 in Florida. This one was a lot bumpier. I loved the Magic. It was mostly at nite a couple nites. Beautiful ship. Would take it again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
