Would definitely stay here again. Great location for strand shopping. Parking a little crowded but okay. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Good restaurants within walking distance. Nice area to sit outside and view harbor.

For the price this should have been better. The upholstery on sofa was too dirty to sit on. The pillow shams looked as if they had never been washed. Black hand prints on all door facings. Microwave door handle to nasty to touch. Long black hair on bathroom floor 2 days in a row.Front lobby was messy with old newspapers,flyers etc.I've paid $8.00 USD in SE Asia,India,Nepal for better places than this.Beware if you are driving parking is $10.00 USD per night on top of room rate. The sheets appeared to be clean and mattress was comfortable.The carpet dirty and had holes in it. Was this just the end of long hard summer season? I don't know but I won't be back to find out.

I stayed for 2 nights. Wanted a hotel overlooking the harbor so this is perfect for that. Saw ships docked and going in/out of harbor. Several good seafood restaurants nearby. The "Strand" historic/shopping area very near too. Parking is in private lot, but costs $10 per night. Room clean and well stocked w/towels, shampoo, etc. No extra amenities - pool, exercise room, etc. These services avail. at partner hotels in town, however.Breakfast is pretty basic "continental breakfast". Seems a little sparse for the rate paid. If you like to eat "healthy", plan on bringing your own. Coffee was pretty good. The "jet boat" ride - next to hotel was great fun.

We have stayed at The Harbor House on a few occasions as well as had friends stay there while visiting us at our Galveston home. The hotel has a great location...its 2 blocks from The Strand and positioned along restaurant row along the Harborside. The lobby is all but nonexistant and only has a small one person check in desk. This creates a problem during peak checkin/out times.
The hotel only has appx 40 rooms so they book up fast. The room are good size and comfortable. It has no pool or its own restaurant. Thats not an issue because you are surrounded by many nice places to eat including one thats in the same building. The hotel is sister properties with The Tremont and The Galvez, so you are welcome to use the pool and spa at the Galvez.
The main set back to this hotel is the price...sure you can get some off day rates at less than $100.00 but more often than not the price is the same as The Tremont...let me tell you The Tremont this place is not...
