Nice
Great to stay so close to the aquarium. The Festival of Lights and the boat ride was nice. The room was musty.

Would stay again
Hotel is a little old but comfortable. Furniture in room was torn and stained. The staff was very nice and helpful. Pleasantly surprised at how good the restaurant was.

Disappointed
Our room was booked through Hotels.com but it was an older room that needed repairs. The bathtub was stained, the bed sank to the middle, and the lighting was poor. This was the first time we have experienced this kind of room at Moody Gardens. We were disappointed with this trip accommodations.
