Park and Cruise
I chose this hotel as I procrastinated and could not get into the hotel I really wanted. I was looking for a park and cruise hotel and this hotel does allow you to leave your car in their lot. Pick up for the shuttle is right at the main desk of the hotel and is $10/person round trip. Breakfast was cereal and juice in a very cramped lobby. Room has issues! Carpet has not been cleaned in a long time and my suspicion is that there is mold in the carpet as we transferred much black material from our socks to the bed. Sheets were clean but stained. Heater/air conditioner would not stay on continuous fan. Not worth the ninety plus dollars!

Money-saving tip:
In Hotel
I brought my family to the port, dropped them off, and parked back at the hotel, riding the shuttle back to port. Then everything in reverse after the cruise. This way you have no luggage to bring on the shuttle and I was able to squeeze on when others had to wait due to the limited luggage space. This also then only cost me $10 to ride the shuttle instead of $60 for our entire party! When driving to the port stay in the right hand lane of harborside drive until the last possible moment then sneak in before or after a stop light. An alternative would be to take 45/87 or Broadway to 22nd street as this line tends to be shorter. This will save tons of time!

May not be in the seawall but it only takes minutes to get there and paid an excellent price. Close to the cruise terminals, great dining, and the Strand.

Good middle-of-the-road...
'Nothing fancy here but it was clean and cold which was exactly what we were looking for after a long day at the beach. Good value. The free wifi worked very well. 'Comfortable beds. We didn't eat breakfast here so I cannot comment on that. ' Polite, courteous staff.

Galveston HoJo
For those cruising out of Galveston on one of the cruise lines and dont need a 5 star, this hotel is perfect.. Prior to this cruise I always booked a hotel in Texas City because it was close to Galveston. HoJo is so much better for a couple reasons. 1) you dont have to deal with the smell and noise of Texas City, 2) Its located just a few miles from the port. 3) HoJo lets you park your vehicle in their parking lot for the entire week at no additional charge and the cruise parking across the street will take you and pick you up for $10/person.

Nice
We weren't too sure about it b/c it's off the beaten path and away from the main strip....we got in the room and it's larger than we thought it would be, the ac worked great, the staff were VERY nice, and the breakfast was good...what else can you ask for....we didn't hear a train at 1 am like someone else said and there wasn't any noise....it was a good place to stay!!
