  Good hotel, but it's overpriced. Yes it's near the cruise port, but that's it. This hotel isn't any special on the inside. However, the bikes were cool and staff were tuff.

  This hotel was such a value added piece to our cruise! We stayed so we would have to deal with the 3 hour drive the morning of and we were delighted to find out there was a shuttle going to the terminal and coming back to pick up our vehicle. The location was peaceful and the breakfast was nice! Would recommend!

  I couldn’t give a higher rating for harbor house. A little in the expensive side? Maybe, but worth it? 1000%. Anytime we are cruising out of Galveston we stay at harbor house. They offer parking for the cruise and being able to park your car and walk to the terminal? Absolutely amazing. I’m constantly recommending them in cruise groups. The staff is absolutely amazing, the rooms are second to none, however my slight complaint is that I had a HUGE hole in my side of the bed this past weekend. Other than that this place is PERFECT. Waking up and seeing a cruise ship out of the window! Having great restaurants in walking distance is a huge pro. Getting off a cruise and just walking and getting in your car. This place is the perfect spot with all the greatest amenities!

  We're staying here for a day before hoping on a cruise. Rooms are fantastic and the location is perfect. Great sights and food all very close by. But by far the best reason to stay here is the service. Dee at the front desk made us feel extremely welcomed, I thought customer service was dead but Dee proves its alive and we'll in Galveston. Thank you! This is now the only place we'll stay before we go cruising out of Galveston.

  We chose this hotel mainly because several reviews mentioned a great port view and a good breakfast, but unfortunately our experience didn’t match that at all. Our room’s “view” was basically just the A/C unit, which was really disappointing. The breakfast options were also extremely limited: bagels, muffins, yogurt, cereal, and a pancake machine. No eggs, no meat, nothing substantial, so we ended up leaving and paying for breakfast elsewhere. The location was convenient and only a couple miles from the Galveston seawall/beach area, which was definitely a plus. However, the hotel itself is lacking amenities, especially a pool. The website mentions access to a “nearby pool,” but it turns out that pool is at another hotel around 15 miles away, which felt pretty misleading. Our room also had a noticeable musty smell, and the toilet only flushed properly if you held the handle down for several seconds. On the positive side, check-in was easy and the staff was friendly enough. Overall, though, this stay didn’t live up to expectations and we probably wouldn’t stay here again.
