It's an excellent location, near the Strand District and next to a few restaurants and museums that have taken over the neighboring piers. The architecture and exterior design...

I stayed in the harbour house over the weekend just visiting galveston. It was worth the price! All the hotels down near the bay are very expensive, so in comparason to those hotels, the harbour house is actually pretty cheap. The room was beautiful, very comfortable, and had amazing beds! Its only ...

I really was dissatisfied with this hotel. I thought the location couldn't have been any trashier or run down.

The hotel's location was excellent. You could watch cruise ships leave from your hotel window. That part I liked. However, the hotel doesn't have a pool.
