Harbor House

[jewd]

Was wondering has anyone stayed at the Harbor House recently.

We were there in 2009 before the hurricane.

Hurricane Ike hit Galveston Sept. 11, 2008.

So you were at the Harbor House after Ike.

Quick question about the Harbor House cruise parking. I've read a few who posted that they had to park at a Parking Garage at some other hotel, which kid of defeats the purpose of staying there for us. Is there enough parking at the Harbor House, and does anyone have any experience on how to make sure you get to use it?

 

Thanks!

The Harbor House, Tremont and Galvez have the same owner. There is a shuttle that runs between the hotels for guests to use the pool facilities at the Galvez. The Galvez has a large garage, whereas the other hotels have surface parking. It makes sense to have guests park at the garage in order to free up surface space (limited). The Galvez is only a few minutes to Harbor House and The Tremont.

If there is a concern, just confirm parking arrangements with the hotel.

It is no longer beneficial to park at the Harbor House. They now charge $10 for the night you stay and $10 for every night you leave your car while on your cruise. However, you can move your car to the Galvez parking garage and leave it at no cost. They have a free shuttle to take you to and from the port. We use to love to leave our car at the Harbor House ($40) and walk to the cruise terminal, but no longer.
