• Harbor view.
• Elevator hadn't worked for 7 months, since hurricane like in sept 2008

“Stars should have been updated to reflect condition of hotel. Not their fault but rates should have been adjusted accordingly.”

• Location and rooms.

“This hotel is recovering from Hurricane Ike. They are really trying accommodate guests and their needs. No elevator yet, but this wasn't a big problem for us. We will definitely stay there again. Nice continental breakfast buffet presented by gracious staff. There was always frest fruit in the main hallway on our floor.”

• Harbor House has palatial rooms, great location, and lots of character.
• At my travel time, the hotel was under a remodel or reconstruction.

“Harbor House is a charming find! Located on the edge of the historic downtown Strand district, you are removed from the bustle of the beach-going tourists, but are only moments away from the beach yourself. This may be Galveston's best kept secret!”

• Nautical atmosphere.
• Under construction.

“Loved the location on the shipping channel, watching the ships come in and out, and watching the aquatic life with the kids from the hotel window. Hotel is adjacent to several nautical tours/attractions and several great restaurants. All rooms have a scenic view (if you like marina life). Staff was very accommodating to our needs. Public spaces were in the middle of a renovation project. We would enjoy going back to see the results.”

• It was very pleasant, away from the hustle of the Seawall. Loved the location.
• No restaurant or bar or amenities.

“Harbor House was a pleasant location away from the crowded area of the Galveston Seawall. The harbor was simple beautiful. Upgrades were being made that would have enhanced the experience more, but weren't finished. Rooms were pleasant with a great view of the harbor. Would definitely stay again.”

• Rooms were roomy and nicer than I expected.
• No pool and lobby area is too small for a lot of people.

“Great location on the waterfront within walking distance of the cruise ship terminal and the Strand District in Galveston. Joe's Crab Shack and the Wharf are good dining options nearby. Also, there are museums nearby that are good.”

• Very clean, upscale, nice view from window.
• Patio area under construction-nowhere to sit to watch the harbor.

“Our room was large and decorated well. The air-conditioning worked very well. The room was clean and neat. The patio area was under construction so there was nowhere to sit and watch the harbor. When it is completed it would be a great place to relax in the evening. There was a grassy area with benches but had a ship parked in front of it -so the view was limited.”

• Rooms were recently renovated.
• View of the bay.

“This is a good hotel for the price if your not interested in spending much time there. Rooms are clean and spacious. Lacks hotel amenities like a pool or easy luggage transportation. Not located on the best side of town. But still good for the price.”

• Very nice and location was great.
• Could not find anything that I did not like.

“I feel that the hotel is a great place to stay. I stayed there in 1999 and the hotel is still as clean and nice as it was at that time. I would recommend you and the hotel to anyone.”

• Great location. Quiet, close to restaurants, beach, The Strand.
• Still being renovated, but I will probably be really nice once finished.

“Great location and friendly staff. Rooms were nice size and clean. It was different which was nice and right there on the marina. I would recommend this hotel.”

• Room clean.
• Construction on going with little hotel staff to help with problems.

“I was unable to get any towels because all the house keeping staff goes home when rooms are clean. The only staff was a very pregnant women at the desk who seem to be the only person working at the hotel.”

“We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful hotel on the back (quiet) side of the island, but close to restaurants and plenty to do within walking distance.”

• Unique atmosphere and design, history, waterfront, cleanliness, comfort.

“We really enjoyed this hotel. It was an old ship terminal converted into a 42 room inn. The architecture with exposed pipes kept with the history of the building--as did the boat and water themed art and color scheme. Wood floor. Very nice, very clean and comfortable. Helpful staff. I have already recommended it to someone. We loved it and will likely return.”

• I liked the room it was nice but a little small.
• I didn't like the fact that there were renovations going on they could have let us know before hand.

“The room was nice. The staff was friendly. The short time we were there was boring. I guess I would have to say over all it wasn't a very pleasant experience for myself. I think next time I will stay somewhere else.”
