Overall, the visit was great and we were able to check in early which was appreciated. We were told that there was self service laundry so we put multiple loads of laundry into the washer, 2 out of 3 dryers were labeled out of service. When we went to use the 3rd dryer it was not working. The front desk initially told my husband to go back down and wait for maintenance, when they did not show up he was told by front desk to bring the laundry home wet. After another 15 minutes, they agreed to dry the laundry and they did fold and bring back to room later. This was appreciated but wasted time in our day. Otherwise the restaurant and service was good.

We paid for a room with a king size bed… it took forever to check in…. They first gave us a suite normally used for a reception and it only had a sofa double bed! We requested another room and then after a lengthy confirmation at the check in desk the best they could do was a room with 2 double beds! Was I treated this was because I used Hotels.com??? They even called me at 2pm wanting to know what time we were checking in and I took them probably 5pm so they put us down to check in between 5 and 6pm…. Again why??? We had fully paid for our room! Others checked fast….. not us, they seemed to want us to take something other than what we paid for!!!!!!! Very dissatisfied

We had difficulty getting service by the pool and there was trash everywhere and no one working to clean it up.
We went down to the bar and couldn’t even get the bartender to service us. It was around 9 pm and it was an older lady, she served others around us but completely ignored us.
We then went to the 2nd floor terrace and were met by several roaches that we decided to go back into our room where guess what… we found a roach. For the price we paid we excepted better service and maybe a newer establishment.

It was winter sale fir the room rate so it was a plus i know in the summer time the rate can be iver the top. We were place at their new building but requires quite a bit of walking. Rooms were clean but the aircon was not on when we arrived it took sometime for the room to cool down.

Upon entering the hotel, i was impressed with the openness and decor. My check-in was quick with the staff being efficient and friendly. As Mary Gras was in a couple of weeks, it was nice to see the decorations for this event. Parking was easy as was finding our room. The room was clean and ready for us. My only disappointment was the ice machine on our level was not operational. However, we were given ice when we called the front desk and inquired about the situation. Wish we had more time at this hotel. It is in a great location for getting to our cruise port. Will definitely be booking again.

The only thing the hotel needed was duvet on the bed and plush covers. For this caliber of hotel it needed to have it's A/C controls updated. There were things like that throughout the stay that was disappointing.

It was okay. For the price there a lot of amenities but the customer service is not top tier for it to be a resort. I was expecting more.

Property was great. Service at the lobby bar was ok, but bartender looked like she just rolled out of bed, very wrinkled clothes, messy hair, her hands shook so bad while making and serving drinks. Not a good look for such a beautiful hotel.

It is large and nice when you walk in. Rooms are older and need updating. First room had a tub that had been painted and the bottom was peeling and looked sharp. They did move us to another room and the tub was better, but it looked like mold around the tub. Room was large and clean. Heater/ac did not work properly. Everything there is very expensive and they do not accept cash. Not worth the price.

The staff here are lovely super nice and helpful. The room was a little run down ketchup on the automan but otherwise quite nice. The little cafe has great pizza but not great eggs. There seems to be a ton to do here during season but we stayed in January so it was nice and quite.

Booked after having a bad experience with our original hotel. Loved the room, was very clean. It could use a bit updating but the cleanliness made up for that. Room service and dining options were pricy and not very good for the price. Would suggest eating off site. Got to experience the ice feature and Christmas lights. That was awesome and the highlight of the trip. Visited the aquarium while there also, excellent experience. Our toddlers loved it, and so did we! Would stay here again.

Exquisite experience at Moody Gardens Hotel! From the moment we arrived, the warm and hospitable staff made us feel at home. The room was spacious, immaculate, and boasted breathtaking views. The amenities were top-notch, especially the tranquil spa and the fantastic dining options. The hotel's proximity to the attractions at Moody Gardens was a huge plus. A truly memorable and relaxing getaway. Can't wait to return!

Family visit for the Holiday Season. Front desk had no information regarding the events on premises. Rooms are old and not upgraded nor well maintained. Restaurant had poor service and little selection.
Parking lot fills up by event visitors forcing others with reservations to pay for parking garage. Personal experience was very poor due to a/c, fridge not working and staff blamed us which we resolved but caused discomfort. After leaving we learned of bug bites on everyone.

Never received my complimentary welcome gift for 2 free drinks for booking through expedia.
