kiraryker Posted June 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Ok we need to get 7 people with luggage to a nice hotel that has a shuttle to the port - we are flying into Bush Intl Houston Saturday and leaving on the Carnival Magic on Sunday So any suggestions that people have done would be great! Also if we could use the same mode of transp to get back to the airport when our cruise returns. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepha06 Posted June 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2012 We just got back from a cruise from Galveston and we stayed at the harbor house. It is right beside the cruise terminal. The rooms were pretty big. I would check into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiraryker Posted June 24, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks! Are there any other hotels that we can walk to the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted June 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Harbor House and The Tremont Hotel are the two hotels downtown and nearest the cruise terminal. The Galvez, sister hotel to The Tremont and facing the Gulf of Mexico, offers shuttle service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiraryker Posted June 24, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted June 24, 2012 We may have to do a shuttle - I contacted the Harbor House and they require a 2 night stay UGH! We only need a place for 1 night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted June 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Try them through one of the hotel websites. I have heard that sometimes HH will accept a one night booking. Don't give up:D 2 night minimum can also depend on the date and if there is a festival, Dickens on the Strand, Mardi Gras etc. going on. Then all hotels will have a 2 night minimum.

pinkmaija Posted June 25, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Try Gaido's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted June 25, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Love Gaido's restaurant and the Pelican Club, but not their motel. Okay for those that need really inexpensive accomodations, but it is nothing to write home about, very basic. It is on the Seawall Blvd. at 37th with no provisions of transport to the pier.

That is putting it mildly. Of all the hotels in Galveston this would be at the very bottom of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiraryker Posted June 25, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted June 25, 2012 What about the holiday inn resort on the beach?? they have a shuttle to the pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooulio Posted June 25, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We stayed at the San Luis Resort in Feb. It was gorgeous. We did take a town car. He was great. It was right on the seawall. Service was wonderful. Rooms are beautiful Nice pool and bars. Great places to eat. We loved it. Would go back next time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZmike480 Posted June 26, 2012 #14 Share Posted June 26, 2012 We stayed at the howard johnson, and it was disgusting!!! So don't waste your time. That was the only hotel I found without a two night required stay. Good luck with your search. AZmike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chmie Posted June 29, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The Galvez, sister hotel to The Tremont and facing the Gulf of Mexico, offers shuttle service. Galvez is where we are staying. 2 nites at $210/nite but they have "free" parking and shuttle to & from the terminal. The hotel looks awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooulio Posted June 29, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 29, 2012 To kiraryker, We took a limo from Z limo. My husband and I took it from Hobby. My brother and his wife flew into Bush. They were great. Nice town car. He was there waiting when we got off the plane. Met us at the baggage. We loved them. Would use them again when we go back to Texas. Took us to San Luis. We walked to everything.

benvan2 Posted June 29, 2012 #19 Share Posted June 29, 2012 We stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites on the Seawall in April and it was good and they have a shuttle. Also have stayed at the various Holiday Inn's on the island which have shuttles. Try Galveston.com website for more hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonCruisers Posted July 8, 2012 #20 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We stayed at the San Luis Resort in Feb. It was gorgeous. We did take a town car. He was great. It was right on the seawall. Service was wonderful. Rooms are beautiful Nice pool and bars. Great places to eat. We loved it. Would go back next time again. We stayed in the San Luis a couple of weekends ago. The hotel is gorgeous and rooms are nice, but you really don't want to be there if there's some kind of function going on. We packed up and came home at 3am after we woke up the second time for the screaming and loud party 2 doors down. (Security had already been sent up once) We always eat at Gaido's...really great food. We've also started going to Yaga's too. It's on the Strand, same street as LaKings. And Miller's Cafe on the seawall around 34th street has really good breakfast. And we've used a car service a couple of times going out of Galveston and to the airport. We go back and forth between Lane and Avanti. Both have been reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatescapes Posted July 11, 2012 #21 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You can never go wrong with the Hilton on the seawall...... its awsome and close to eating places and a krogers for that last minute item you forgot..... they have a free shuttle and free parking (may not be appealing for you since you flew).... rooms are very nice.... have fun!

Correct it is in my opinion one of better 5 hotels in Galveston, close to alot of things, beach across street, next door to San Luis Hotel (a sister), near Krogers and parking and transfers! If events are occuring in town, prices will vary, it could expensive or require 2 nights! One of two nice convention centers in Galveston is next door! Hotel is owned by Landry's Hotels and Restaurants Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
