In Short – Moody Gardens covers more than 240 acres just inland from the Galveston seawall. The 428-room hotel offers upscale rooms and suites, heated outdoor pool, swim-up bar and 100,000 square feet of meeting space. Three glass pyramids house the rainforest, aquarium, Imax, RideFilm theater and science learning center. There's also a white-sand beach, 1800s replica paddlewheel boat and seasonal ice rink. Shearn's Restaurant, on the hotel's top floor, is an island favorite.

Well I am pretty picky when it comes to "staying away from home". I chose Moody Gardens Hotel for the Spa and my husband and young son for the attractions. I have to say that the service was good and our stay in the Jacuzzi room was awesome. Although, don?t expect to get checked in before 4pm even if they promise to. The spa was a fabulous 4 star experience to me. They were so nice and made me feel very relaxed.
On the down side, the food, I hate to say, was horrible. We ate there twice and were very disappointed. As for the decor, YES, they need a makeover. The bedspreads and wallpaper are sorely outdated. It gave me a feeling of disappointment and frustration when I entered the room. If not for the Jacuzzi, I probably would have given the rating a 2 star. I suggest they spy on the 5 star hotels and get some new ideas and move on it quickly.
Overall, I suggest that for families with young kids, expectable. For couples on a romantic getaway.....get the Jacuzzi Room and go OUT to dinner.
- Pros: Great Spa and close to attractions
- Cons: Outdated decor, bad food, musty smell in halls

It should be called the Bates Hotel
by CorgiMom1962
Moody Gardens Hotel looks spectacular from the outside and the inside looks like you stepped back into the 70s. Peach and sea foam green colors everywhere. YUCK! The restaurant downstairs had the worst food ever. For example, the soup tasted like it came from a can. Oh, and plastic and silk flowers hang from the ceiling to give you that garden feel. Don't eat anywhere in this hotel. Your better off driving to a restaurant. My advice is to make them show you the room before you stay there. Ours was really tacky. The pool was nice, if you like huge crowds. Bring a ton of money if you are going to any of the attractions. The attractions are fun for small kids.
- Pros: Across the street from Schlitterbahn and all the major attractions
- Cons: Tacky and Cheap rooms, Bad Food
