Top Moody Gardens Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast here is one of the best free/included ones on the island. The rooms are fairly good. Could use a little maintenance but for a beachfront resort it’s great!"

The Residency Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the stay"

Studio 6 Galveston, TX

10/10 Excellent

"This meriting section of the survey makes me want to not do the survey."

Private resort home with heated saltwater pool & spa!

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best houses I’ve ever rented! You definitely want to stay in this house. Will rent again!"

Sleep Inn & Suites Galveston Island

8/10 Good

"The beach is very close about 5 mins away. Clean and spacious rooms. I tried to ask an older lady with glasses at the front a question the morning before I checked out and she didnt even look up to acknowledge me which was pretty rude. Only coffee and mini muffins for breakfast"

Private pool, sun deck, covered patio, 4bd/2bth

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated the location, being close to Walmart and the beach. The home was clean and well-maintained. The description accurately reflects the property. The backyard is ideal for gatherings or casual family visits. The only concerns were that communication from the owner was via text around 11:30 PM, and some spices stored in the drawer were expired. The neighborhood is safe and conveniently accessible. The floor plan of the home is also very family-oriented and welcoming."
