Note from Josette: I have seen conflicting information about the parking rate online — I sent the hotel a message and haven't heard back yet. There's also no mention of a shuttle; I'm assuming there isn't one and have inquired but haven't heard back. I may personally stay here, park on site, and Uber/Lyft to the pier.

Starting at $99 (as of 9/13/2026). Price is fully refundable if cancelled before May 17, 2027.
All of these rates are package rates that I can get for you. All prices shown are the lowest available pricing as of 9/13/2026 and are non-refundable; pricing does not include taxes and fees and is based on 2 people in the room — your situation may vary.
You can pay a little more to secure a refundable rate.
These rooms are subject to availability, and some of the hotels listed have limited availability — I’d book sooner rather than later, since Galveston is a popular tourist destination, not just for cruisers.
