Dubdude007 Posted May 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2016 We were looking for a cheap hotel to stay in before our cruise for 1 night and the only ones we could find are the Super 8 Galveston and the Candlewood Suites Hotel in Texas city. Anyone have any experience with these or can make any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klnelson06 Posted May 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2016 My husband and I are staying in Texas City when we go in August as it was so much cheaper than Galveston. I found the prices in Galveston for hotels was very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeyoregon Posted May 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2016 We stayed at the Inn at the Water Park and were very pleased. Good price and shuttle to port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterls2126 Posted June 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I would try the Hilton. It not only has a free shuttle to the terminal. But it also has free parking while you are on your cruise($75 value) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuelerdude Posted June 7, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 7, 2016 We are staying at the Scottish Inn. It was the cheapest option ($100 after taxes and fees) in Galveston which had cruise parking and a shuttle to/from the port. It doesn't look to be an extravagant place by any means, but it has decent reviews. We were going to stay in Texas City, but this option cost less after considering the savings from not needing to park at a parking facility.

ceistre Posted June 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) You will save at least 75 bucks a night staying on the mainland than on the island. Galvestons cheap hotels on the island are for the are ok but you get what you paid for on some if you know what I mean. Of course my standards on hotels are in the Fairfield and Courtyard Marriott $100-$150 a night level. Edited June 8, 2016 by ceistre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasopa Posted June 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I've got reservations at The Comfort Inn & Suites Texas City 320 Highway 146 North, Texas City, TX, US, 77590 For September 24, 2016. My rate was $85.50 complete with Taxes is $96.62 That is the senior rate, King bed suite. This hotel is about 15 miles and 15 minutes from the Galveston Port. Fairly new, and clean and a pretty good breakfast. Edited June 8, 2016 by Texasopa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donoiv11 Posted June 8, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Does it have to be in Galveston? We stay at the Courtyard Marriott across the street from NASA... Close enough and it's a nice place. Newer Courtyard. Built within the last few years. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops, Esq. Posted June 10, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Cheap hotel on the island? Not by comparison to what you can get in Texas City (comfort inn) if you want just four walls, a bath and a bed, or south Houston (Doubletree Hobby Airport) if you want a little upgrade to full service hotel.

Texas Tillie Posted June 11, 2016 #13 Share Posted June 11, 2016 She wants to stay in Houston the night before so we booked at Comfort Inn and Suites on Southwest Freeway Just be aware that you'll be near the Galleria, but the actual neighborhood isn't the best.

It is fairly new and we thought is was nice. It is well worth the money compared to the other hotels in the area. We stayed there last April and have a reservation for our next cruise next year. We were well pleased with it. Hope you have a great cruise! Edited June 27, 2016 by mistshar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
