    Great service Great value
    I have stayed here 3 times in the last year, I love the service. Dee works the front desk at night and she is always warm, caring, personal and informative. She tells you which nearby restaurants are still open and seems to genuinely care whether you’re well taken care of. I’m…

    Lovely hotel in great location
    We loved our stay at the Harbor House hotel. The room was lovely, a great size and so comfortable. The hotel was in a great location with lovely restaurants just next door. We even watched dolphins from our hotel window in the morning! Next time we come to Galveston we will…

    We love to stay here - however whomever came up with the not so brilliant idea of non see through glass dividing the bathroom/room was a total bonehead. When someone uses the restroom during the night it wakes the others in the room.. otherwise it’s an enjoyable place to stay.…

    Very nice older hotel - convenient to cruise ships!
    I have stayed here many times when leaving out on a cruise in Galveston. Less than a block away and they will allow you to leave your car parked there for the cruise. Nice rooms and a great view! Close to restaurants.

    Frankly there's not much to tell. Harbor house is just that. It's right on the water in the midst of the docks. The maritime museum is next door and the cruise ship dock is just down from that. Oil platform rigs are across the harbor and commercial shipping interests are…

    We have a cruise in November for 5 nights. Can we park or car while on the cruise if we are staying the night before and the night after cruise?
    When I stayed you are able to park your car there for a fee. You prepay and they give you a tag to hang in your car letting everyone know that you are parking legally.

    What is the best way to get from Hobby Airport to this hotel. Is a 2-night stay too long? Are the shops nearby? Thank you!
    We stayed two and a half days and there was plenty to do. Shops, restaurants, interesting museums, and 1-2 hour cruises are all within walking distance.

    How was the breakfast they offered? And what did you do in regards to parking?
    Agree with other comments, Typical standard continental breakfast. Wait Staff did a great job of keep it fresh and stocked. We just needed enough to get us on the cruise. Did not have a vehicle, but the parking lot was very large... no knowledge of parking cost.

    "Don't count on a good breakfast. This is continental at its most basic."
    "Ask for a view of the harbor"
    "I believe all rooms are good, we only asked for non-smoking and our room was perfect"
    "Ask for water view."
    "I would recommend a room that looks out towards the water, however that is a personal preference. 3rd floor was a great view."
