"We arrived post cruise and we were able to check into a room right away with a small ($35) upgrade fee. It was amazing to have a place to land at 9:30am. We went to breakfast on property and spent the remainder of the day visiting the Moody Gardens/Attractions such as educational movies, Rainforest pyramid, Aquarium pyramid, and other venues at a reduced cost for being guests. It was amazing. Everyone was helpful, friendly, and respectful of others. They offered an evening event for families with a movies/popcorn/punch at not cost. Lots to do at this property, very clean, beautiful place to stay. We would def book again and recommend to anyone looking for a port pre/post cruise hotel. :)"
