Breakfast was good ... Spa was Excellent (a bit pricier) Room was quite pretty and our View of Islands & Schliterbahn water park was amazing. A plus was their Hotel Gym offered Free Yoga classes but I didn't know about it until After the fact. *****🔺I did like the Friendly Smiles of all the Valet ppl especially Randy who went above and beyond by taking our Luggage up to room then went to another floor to get ICE for our cooler WOOHOO THANKS RANDY🔺

I didnt like nor having extra towels as requested when I booked thru 3rd party site only to get to property and be told that Request Not Honored until you are assigner a room upon check in I did not like No Microwave was in my room. I did not like No Hotel Shuttle Bus to take me to local places nearby. I did not like no Blankets in closets

Very comfortable bed, easy to control room temperatures. Well appointed bathroom. Not a lot of noise noticeable from adjoining rooms or corridor. Elevators all in working order. A lot of attractions are onsite.

If not careful you could use the two bottles of electrolyte water placed in the room and find out later they are $6 each. It did say $6 on the cap, but some might not notice. Restaurants are quite expensive , makes it more desirable to go and eat out . Having to pay for the attractions on top of the hotel charges. At keast one attraction shoul be included in te price in my opinion

the room was very nice and big we enjoyed the view as well.

so randomly our bathroom would start smelling like cigarettes'. and I got bit by bed bugs all over my ankles. My child got bit on her back. when we called about the cigarettes' smell they said all they could do was re clean the bathroom i told them it was okay and the kind ladies asked us if we needed anymore towels or if they could help us with anything else

The location was perfect for visiting Moody Gardens attractions. Our rooms was very comfortable and roomy

Moody Gardens has the feel of an upscale hotel. It's the little touches, such as bringing a petite size jar of honey with your hot tea or croissants and wait staff who dress to impress and don't refer to guests as "you guys." We enjoyed eating in their first floor restaurant, and the food was good and reasonably priced. The large rooms are nicely decorated with wonderful king-size pillows and a comfortable mattress. We almost sleep better here than at home. All of the bathrooms have safety features, of grab bars, and a tub mat in the shower. The hotel is beautifully decorated and has a resort size swimming pool with a very large hot tub. Both were sparkling clean and well lit at night for safety. The hotel is centrally located and close to the Seawall, Pleasure Pier, and the Strand. Moody Gardens also has a variety of activities located next door... The aquarium is our favorite, but there are others too. We love their winter activities and the feeling that we are part of their family. This is our hotel of choice for every visit to Galveston.

The bathroom needs towel racks closer to the sink.

I don't like that they automatically charge you 25% for tips. Your waitress don't even serve you when you buy a buffet but then they charge to and make you pay a 25% tip and the waitress don't deserve it.

I booked this through booking.com. After booking I read more reviews, I started to get worried as many were not favorable. To our surprise, we did not experience any of the complaints that we read. The water was hot and good water pressure, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and clean. We would absolutely stay at this hotel again. The value for money paid was more than fair. (We stayed here the week before spring break). Oh, and the beds are above average (unlike some reviews stated.)

Kinda bummed that the breakfast buffet was only on weekends. From a management view I understand the cost versus guests would equal a ton of wasted food. There is the option to order from the table. I graded this super hard and somewhat selfish, but the breakfast buffet was that good.

We liked that there was pretty much any and everything you needed there at the property and several things to do there.

Really the only complaint I have is that you can hear pretty much everything your neighbors are doing and if there’s a crying baby…. You get to hear that as well. Lol It was fine. Life happens and it’s to be expected. Also, it reminded me of dorm living between the hours of 6-8 am because everyone is up and moving around and definitely don’t think to be quiet for those who may be sleeping in…. But - there again - it’s kind of expected when you travel. Just be aware if you’re wanting something super quiet, this may not be the spot for you.

Love the beachy vibe, the palm trees, the amenities, the convenience of location to schlitterbahn and reduced rate for tickets because we were guests.

The instructions for drop off and pickup transportation to and from schlitterbahn were not real clear. we were outside of schlitterbahn waiting for the van on the hour, and he slowed down but did not stop. We had to call to request him to return. we were at the pool the evening the storm came through. There was distant lightning and we were watching it and finally decided to get out of the pool. There seemed to be no one on duty to give instruction about safety and to get out. Just seemed a little left to the guests to make those decisions.

The pyramids are great to keep you busy for a day or 2 and we enjoyed the boat tour. Every pyramid attraction is walking distance from the hotel. There are 2 restaurants inside the hotel. We only went to the one downstairs. Its simple but good and and staff is very kind. Staff is limited for waiters and I guess in the kitchen too, so you need to be a bit patient. It takes a while to get served. But this did not really bother us because we were having a good time in good company. Kids really enjoy the bouncy castle outside and the games. Indoor pool is really a great facility when it rains and during cold season. There is also an outdoor pool. Close to neighboor attractions (water games, zip line (?) And beach front. I like that the stay was inclusive of services like parking and wifi. You can connect your google comcast or your netflix to the tv. This is very convenient

I guess it's a bit far from downtown. So you must take your car to see the peer or go to the grocery shop. There is no free water in the room (9$ bottles sold in the room). Coffee machine in the room could use an upgrade (the model leaves a bit of coffee grains in the glass) but I still think that having a coffee machine in the room is a plus rather than a minus. Centralized AC is noisy (old?) and blows directly onto our beds, so we switched it off. Windows do not open so we were lucky to not be in a very hot season.
