texas boop Posted September 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2006 We are going to be departing from the Port of Houston--not Galveston--on November 11. I hit on a 2 star (the best there is in LaPorte!) on Priceline for $40 per night for the night prior to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arf2005 Posted September 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Which hotel? For example, the Comfort Suites is a two star and is just fine. I would rate it more than a two. Maybe that rating because of the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen2cruz Posted September 19, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2006 We stayed in the Comfort suites last year before our NCL cruise and it was nice. I've been in higher star rated hotels in other cities that were much worse. $40 would be a great price. We're paying $99 in Galveston and are getting a "steal" for the 4 star hotel because we booked it 9 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas boop Posted September 19, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Guess which hotel would be nice info to have--so sorry--Hotel is the LaQuinta. They allow free parking for the duration of the cruise, and offer a shuttle to the pier at a cost of $5 a person. Priceline showed 3-2 star hotels--Comfort Suites, LaQuinta, and the Best Western. We had also stayed at the Comfort Suites before, but I was willing to take a chance on any of these three properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arf2005 Posted September 20, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've had family stay at the La Quinta before but it's been a few years ago. At that time it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearlakecruisers Posted September 21, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Just drove by the La Quinta in LaPorte (about 15 minutes ago) and it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27116 Posted September 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2006 You might try Baytown,Texas it is just across the bridge from where the ship leaves from. I use to have to stay over night there on worki and was able to get the LaQuinta fo $30 a night. There is more restraunts and things to do in Baytown.

samtig Posted November 9, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2006 We stayed at LaQuinta in LaPorte last Dec. Booked on Priceline for around $40. It was fine. Very clean. Also had a free breakfast in the lobby. Short drive to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
