Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center

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🔺

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

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.

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.)

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