Best choice for cruisers!

H.H. is our go-to hotel pre- and post-cruise in Galveston! Service is friendly, the rooms are huge, and they let you store your luggage there before you check in and/or after you check out. It is walking distance to great seafood (Katie's), The Strand, and museums. Plus they have free bikes with locks to use to tool around Galveston if you want to. With that said, it *is* a converted pier warehouse, so there is minimal sound deadening. Even slightly loud kids or adults are easily heard in the room from the hallways. Not much they can do about it, but something to consider if you are a light sleeper. Bottom line: we will *always* stay at H.H. whenever we are in Galveston!

We loved the unique setup and decor of the hotel, by the sea and walking distance to the sea port and terminals. Very new and modern, clean, spacious and quiet, with easy access to the shopping streets, restaurant and bars. The staff was friendly and particularly helpful. It was a perfect sleepover before heading to the cruise the next day. Thanks again!
