Stayed at Moody Gardens again for Lone Star Rally. We stay every year. In the past, Moody Gardens rolled out the red carpet for Bikers during Lone Star Rally. Bikes were encouraged to line the driveway, pins and local information were provided upon check-in and friendly faces and exceptional care were the norm. We rebooked for the same room we had in the past that overlooked the pool(King). I made the reservations a year in advance. Confirmed two weeks out and upon our arrival, sprinklers were watering the bikes along the drive and the floor our room was on was under construction. We accepted a double Queen a floor up as we wanted to get into the room to move on to the rally. No pins and no welcome material. I stressed that the sprinklers on the bikes were an issue. We were comped a breakfast to make up for the issues. When we got to our room, it was not as clean as MG rooms in the past (baseboards and bathroom - and carpet seemed heavily worn) The fridge was frozen up. We left the fridge open when we took off and dealt with the other annoying issues. TV remote worked if you are 5" from the TV. Room was adjacent to the construction area. As noted, no bathroom exhaust fan. Dirty windows and floors, chipped tub. While we will return, the quality was not the level it was in the past.

We booked a package at the resort over the holiday season last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the resort, spa and the attractions nearby.
Other than the Christmas show at the hotel that was professional and well executed by a local acting troupe; we saw the Christmas lights in Moody gardens; the Rainforest pyramid, the aquarium and the 3D theatres.
We also visited Moddy house in Galveston and the Oil rig museum. We noted the aircraft museum and Bishops Palace for another trip.

Beautiful property. Rooms were well appointed and comfy. Some wear and tear on the paint on walls and doors but they are beginning to refurbish the interior of all rooms! The bathroom had no exhaust fan so it would get steamy. The pillows were not down/feathers, simply overstuffed poly-filled which gives me a neck ache. My hope is they upgrade these to ones from "Pacific Coast Feather Company" like other finer hotels. Bed was very comfortable. We extended our stay and the staff was very accommodating and allowed us to keep the same group rate we had. Beautiful pool and swim up bar. The swim up bar was only opened on weekends. Free wi-fi in lobby but not in pool area which was disappointing. Maid service come too early one morning so we asked her to not enter room. She never returned again. So if you sleep in past 9 a.m., make sure you request maid service after that time the night before :) Our view overlooked the pyramids and ocean....beautiful! We had a Kruger coffee pot in room which was tasty! Starbucks is located in lobby! We will stay there again after renovations!

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights on a business trip, the hotel itself is in need of an update as I had problems with my door, TV remote and overall its looking tires and run down.

They do say they will be doing a revamp next year....
