cruiserbatten Posted July 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It's on Nasa parkway, Just wondering if anyone knows if it's a good clean hotel. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearlakecruisers Posted July 11, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Since I live in the area, I haven't stayed there, but, if I'm thinking about the correct place, it's fairly new and the area is good. There is also a Holiday Inn-Express in that area. Just remember that these motels are 15-20 minutes east on NASA Parkway from I-45. This area is, however, close to the Kemah Boardwalk recreational area and NASA/JSC if you have some extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbatten Posted July 11, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted July 11, 2006 So how far would you say this hotel is from Galveston and Houston? When I mapped it, it looked like it was about halfway between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbatten Posted July 11, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I switched to LaQuinta INN and suites in clearlake, it looked like it was in a nice area and convenient to both the port and HOU, is that correct?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearlakecruisers Posted July 11, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The La Quinta is brand new and very convenient to I-45. Yes, you will be approximately midway between Houston and Galveston and you are only +/-2 blocks off I-45 on Bay Area Blvd. From your hotel to the port will be an easy 30 minute freeway drive through several small towns and across the causeway into Galveston. In fact, you'll get to the the cutoff to the cruise port (street called Port Industrial) before you get into the city of Galveston. There are several good, inexpensive restaurants within a block or two of the La Quinta - Zio's, Angelo's and Carrabba's for Italian, a "Benihana"-type Japanese steak house, Jason's deli (soups/salads/sandwiches - and the biggest baked potato ever), B.J.'s Brewery/Restaurant, and Ninfa's for the original Mexican fajitas and great margueritas. Hey, I'm hungry - Ninfa's here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
