Gaido's Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This place was the perfect choice and also what a great price. Great people and the view of the gulf was amazing. You can walk to so many places to eat."

Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to find and get booked in with valet or by yourself. Staff were very gracious and helpful. The guy at the desk said he was new but I would not have known as his training was superb, I had no problems checking in and he was extremely informative. Room was clean. Only downside was the microwave was in the ice room to be shared by others, which isn’t a big problem, I can understand the cost effectiveness of that. Just hard to microwave things for kids when you have to walk down the hall each time. Still a 10/10 and would/will stay here again with the family. Pool and pool bar was awesome! They stay open super late and luckily there was a firework show going on across the street on our last night we could watch from the pool. Thank you Moody Gardens for a unforgettable weekend."

Baymont by Wyndham Galveston
