ajtraveler66 Posted May 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2023 We're looking at a 7-day cruise out of Galveston sometime during the winter of 2024. Can you recommend a good hotel/resort in Galveston to extend our vacation (perhaps a few days prior to the cruise and a few days after the cruise). Shuttle service to and from cruise port would be nice, but is not essential to our plans. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted May 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2023 San Luis is a really nice upscale resort hotel, we will also stay at moody gardens which is another large upscale resort . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted May 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The Galvez or The Tremont. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallFour4 Posted May 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The Seawall sites like the San Luis and the resort site like Moody Gardens are great, but since you described a winter visit then check out The Tremont. It's within walking distance the Strand area and is really, really nice. All of the top tier sites like the Galvez and the prior are great to visit, but based on your time go with the Tremont. Just my opinion! . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted May 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2023 We loved staying at the Tremont for two days pre-cruise. Easy to walk all over the Strand area. Also, we found it easy to roll our bags over to the port and we have been retired for a few years. (We did see a shuttle leaving from the Tremont, so you could check with them if you require a shuttle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
day-day Posted May 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2023 We stayed at the Harbor House for one night post cruise. The rooms are nice. Free continental breakfast that was okay (cold cereal, yogurt, muffins, etc.). The hotel does not have a pool but guests were allowed to use the pool at Galveston Hilton (not nearby) and maybe another hotel. The web site FAQ says there is not a shuttle to the cruise ports but the clerk at the desk told us that there was after I heard a guest asking where to wait for the shuttle (worth a call maybe). We used Lyft to get from the cruise ship to the hotel. There is a Galveston Island Trolley stop nearby. The trolley costs $1 per ride and goes to the beach and pier area; it was operating when we were there on May 1.

Panhandleborn Posted May 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We like a B&B called Schaefer Haus. It is nice, quiet, close to the Strand, and on the start of the historic at East end. I don't know about transport to the pier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
