HoustonCruisers Posted May 29, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Are there any restaurants in walking distance near Days Inn & Suites Seawall Galveston? We will most likely taking shuttle from Hobby to hotel so we will have no car available. Looks like there are a few places within walking distance - but don't know anything about them. When we stay in Galveston we stay near the Strand. You might check with the hotel and see if there's a shuttle to and from the Strand, or you might check when you get there and see what a taxi would cost you to go to The Strand. Lots of touristy things in The Strand area. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted May 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We stayed in that hotel in April. Nothing in walking distance that was open. Sonic (fast food) is about a mile away. Be advised that Days Inn does not have safes in the rooms. We won't be staying there again Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Texansgo Posted May 30, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Not sure exactly where Days Inn is located; if you can give me address I can be more specific. On the Seawall there is The Spot (Hamburgers, sandwiches, salads etc), Fishtales (seafood) and Bennos (Cajun seafood) which are all pretty good. The Cajun Greek is on 61st but close the Seawall and serves up good food. More upscale there is Gaidos, Shearns (at Moody Gardens Hotel) and Rudy and Paco's (downtown). The best news is the Texas Legislature passed a law favorable to ride sharing companies so Uber is returning to the Island. Don't know exactly when they will return.

Don't know exactly when they will return. 8712 Seawall Blvd. As a previous poster listed two restaurants I did verify those on a map. We are just looking for a decent place to eat and stay. Didn't want to break the bank when we'll be in the hotel for about 14 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
