Okay hotel for quick stay.

Room was nice and cold, staff are nice but the breakfast was not as good as years past. No hot breakfast and for the price similar to hotels that do, they really should. Nice part is being able to have my dogs there. The fee is steep guess it is what it is. Putput needs to be cleaned up, branches and stuff all over, so balls didn’t travel right. Just upkeep needs work.

So I had accidentally made the booking right around midnight on Expedia and it immediately moved it to the next night and the lady at the front desk was kind enough to let me stay there that night instead and then because I had already used the Expedia reservation I guess it charged me, but it had charged me twice and every time that I tried to talk to somebody about this, they refused to believe me.

Location is older, but was good. Near Schlitterbaum and Moody Gardens. They are doing renovations. Breakfast was yogurt, cereal, pastries, coffee, juice. No fruit or protein items. Was ok for us. Room was clean. Leaving car during the cruise was the big plus for a nominal charge per week. Even after Uber to port, there is a savings. Would stay again.

I correct information!!

I bought my stay through hotel.com but this was one of the worst places I could have stayed. I had my ESA dogs with me and all the paperwork but the guy didn’t want to see them and made me pay the dog fee. So I could have stayed beach front for the price I paid at this crappy hotel and with my dogs cause they go everywhere with me. When I took a shower I had to stand in filthy water cause the tub wouldn’t drain. The room was hot and very dated. If you are in Galveston stay elsewhere.

A little hidden gem on the island. The hotel is close to Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Water Park. The rooms were very large over in the “tower” section. Our room had 2 queen beds and a sitting area with a small table and chairs. The furniture was a little dated but still ok to use. We loved the 520 sq. ft.which made the room very spacious for my family of 3. The window was in need of cleaning, but the ac was cold, the shower was low flow, but the water was hot. Also loved the way the restrooms had been remodeled. Mia at the front desk and the cleaning staff were very kind and helpful and even let us choose the room facing the softball fields. The other view was of some large water tanks which were not too pleasant to look at, however we spent most of our time on the beach anyway. My son and husband loved the coffee in the room, and also the microwave for popcorn and warming up leftovers. Also the fridge was really cold and had to be lowered. We will definitely be back as the rates are very affordable and the area was so quiet and safe. Also loved the parking under the building and the elevator and I so appreciated the no smoking policy. I’ve noticed some hotels on the seawall blvd that are so smelly of cigarettes and smoking. It was such a relief to not see this here. The hallways reminded me of Moody Gardens. Thank you Inn at the Waterpark for a wonderful stay! We will be back.😊

I stayed in a room with 2 queen size beds, overall the room was clean. The downside was that our room key did not work properly, we could hear our loud neighbors and the small refrigerator did not cool at all. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

It did have an elevator, because my mom is on a scooter. But it was the fact that the elevator was out side of the main building where the little breakfast was. So we had to go down from the building go out across the middle way and then go to breakfast. I guess my mom was a little bit upset by that. The staff was friendly. The Inn At The Waterpark was a good getaway.
