The staff here are lovely super nice and helpful. The room was a little run down ketchup on the automan but otherwise quite nice. The little cafe has great pizza but not great eggs. There seems to be a ton to do here during season but we stayed in January so it was nice and quite.

Not impressed
The staff at the front desk was very friendly. The hotel rooms are dated. The room we stayed in had a mildew smell. There was hair in the bathtub and the bathtub itself had an anti-slip mat, which was covering up how corroded the tub was. I’m not sure how this hotel is rated so high, unless it’s just people staying there for the convenience of it being located in Moody Gardens.

Booked after having a bad experience with our original hotel. Loved the room, was very clean. It could use a bit updating but the cleanliness made up for that. Room service and dining options were pricy and not very good for the price. Would suggest eating off site. Got to experience the ice feature and Christmas lights. That was awesome and the highlight of the trip. Visited the aquarium while there also, excellent experience. Our toddlers loved it, and so did we! Would stay here again.
