We stayed at Harbor House, and it was fantastic.

We also stay at Harbor House.  We like the food options within walking distance and indoor secure parking (Port Parking) is very close too.  For us, we like to be in Galveston the night before the cruise and know that we made it there and are ready to go!  Yes, it will cost you more than other places though.

You don't mention what you are looking for.

If you just want a hotel for the night and nothing more, then staying in Webster or League City is probably the best balance between price, ease of access to Galveston and safety.

If you're looking for a place that will add to your vacation,  I'd suggest the Boardwalk hotel in Kemah, the Courtyard by Marriott NASA Clear Lake or Moody Gardens in Galveston.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Texas City, the last town before you cross the causeway into Galveston. There are several hotels in that same area.

Thats the area where we usually stay at too.  We drive in from Dallas the night before. Easy 15 minute drive to the port.

We had hotel reservations for our Galveston cruise in January in Galveston. Southwest changed our plane reservation and the non stop flight into Hobby is only available in the evening with an arrival time of 950 pm. I’ve heard many say the area around Hobby is not where they would want to stay but if we choose to arrive that late, we will not want to travel to Galveston. There are earlier flights but the all leave at 615 AM. So before I changed the flights they assigned me I wanted to reach out to my knowledgeable community whose opinions I trust!!!

The people who say to avoid hotels around Hobby Airport are wise. Take their advice.

I'd suggest getting an Uber to one of the hotels in Webster or League City.  

There's a Holiday Inn Express in Webster right on I45. That's where I would stay. There's also shopping and fast food within walking distance.

I live 15 minutes from Hobby.  I would not stay in that area.  Especially with a vehicle.  As others have said.  Look in Clear Lake NASA, Webster, League City, or Galveston. Grey Wolf Lodge will be open around Labor day.

Hi Function12, where did you get the awesome ship images in your signature?
