texancoyote Posted May 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The Comfort Suites has a deal where you pay $20 for their shuttle and you can leave your car there during your cruise. Nice hotel as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookcruiser Posted May 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Harbor House is really close to the cruise terminal. Not sure about parking. It’s within walking distance. The cruise ships go past Harbor House docking at the terminal. I guess you can contact them and ask. EZ Cruise parking is across from the terminal and then there’s cruise parking.

Galveston Cruiser Posted May 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The Tremont and Harbor House are the only hotels near the port. Others are no more than 5-15 minutes. Galveston is not a big Island. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kynickie Posted May 15, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks for all the replies. I don't know who sent the pre cruise stay list of hotels but that was exactly what I was looking for. There were three that had free parking and free shuttles to and from the port. Will be cruising in less than 2 weeks thanks a bunch.

kona_wahine Posted May 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2018 So, if we stay Harbor House we can walk to the ship? It would be nice to save on a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted May 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2018 So, if we stay Harbor House we can walk to the ship? It would be nice to save on a taxi. What will you pay for the hotel room at the Harbor House? You might be able to stay somewhere else for less money even paying the approximately $15 for a taxi.

kona_wahine Posted May 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I’d like to stay somewhere where things (restaurants etc) are within walking distance, as we don’t want to deal with transportation. Plan on getting in Thursday before a Saturday cruise, just to spend a little time there. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc1025 Posted May 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2018 So, if we stay Harbor House we can walk to the ship? It would be nice to save on a taxi. We have stayed at Harbor House twice and loved it. It is not inexpensive but you pay for the location and we fly into Houston and take a car to Galveston. Walking into the port area might be an issue due to the security issues but they have a shuttle. The location is great for the day before because they have a great port front restaurant/bar and their are several other with in walking distance that are great.

CanadianDee Posted June 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Harbor House seems pretty reasonable with a $119/night rack rate for our travel dates (November). When you say it's within walking distance, how much of a walking distance? We're travelling with two old people (me and my husband) with no mobility issues (just old) and two small children.

It will be a little closer if your sailing out of the Carnival terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay at the Harbour House take the shuttle. On cruise days the traffic is really heavy and a lot of the drivers are unfamiliar with the area. You don’t want to schlep luggage and two kids 1/2 mile in that environment. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they no longer offer a shuttle to the pier. As another posted said, the Harbor House and the Tremont are well-positioned if you want to walk. We also found great parking immediately across the street from the pier if that helps you save some money on a hotel further away or that doesn't offer it's own parking.
