What guests think

At Inn at the Waterpark, travelers highlight the convenient location by Schlitterbahn and Moody Gardens, often choose it for value, appreciate the large rooms, and note mostly friendly staff, making it a practical base for families and cruise travelers.

Ongoing fire damage and renovations affect facilities: parts of the property are closed, the pool can be closed or inconvenient to reach, and the free mini‑golf often needs maintenance. Decor is dated, with occasional issues like noisy A/C, weak water pressure, thin walls, and spotty Wi‑Fi. Cleanliness feedback is mixed—many find rooms clean, but recurring reports mention musty odors, stained linens, and occasional pests; breakfast is a basic continental spread with limited variety. Expect a simple, no‑frills stay near key attractions.

Had a great stay! Walking distance to the Waterpark. Breakfast was cereal, fruit, muffins and coffee. Would have loved some waffles or eggs but that’s ok! The putt golf was fun and kids loved it! The lady on staff during the day was friendly and helpful! Answered all my questions!

covered parking was really nice in the building that doesn't allow pets. It was very efficient. The hotel staff was wonderful. The breakfast is just to grab and go so no real protein It would be nice to have at least cream cheese and peanut butter we would definitely stay a game. The value is amazing. It's not walkable distance from the beach really though it does sit next to a waterpark but you don't get any discounts. It has putt golf, which is nice and their own little pool and they did a good job keeping everything really clean no weird smells or anything like that.

Inn is nice. Room had great AC. My only complaint was the upkeep of things. Elevator area was dated and seemed unsafe. Putt-putt was in TERRIBLE shape. Turf is so tore up you can barely play. They only had orange balls so playing with the family was interesting. That was a major draw for staying there and it very much disappointed. Staff was very friendly. Inn was very quiet. No other complaints

Hotel is currently on the market so operating with minimal amenities. Pool & miniature golf were not accessible and a part of the structure is out of service from a previous fire. The room was spacious and clean and the staff went out of their way to address my needs. Location is primo for visitors to Moody Gardens or the Water Park.

One of the beds in my room had blood stains on the sheets. The room was hot even though the ac unit said 68. There was a funny smell to the room. Like dampness and old paint. The electrical plugs did not work so we could not charge our cellphones. The “continental breakfast” was a joke. The worse I have ever had.

Overall a Decent Stay, but with Room for Improvement We chose Inn at the Waterpark primarily for its value on Expedia and its convenient location near the Gulf and Galveston attractions. While we didn’t experience any major issues during our 6-day stay, there were several concerns worth noting. The property itself felt safe and quiet, and the staff were consistently friendly and responsive when we reached out. However, a few maintenance and cleanliness issues did detract from the overall experience. We observed visible mold in several areas, including the ice machine on the third floor, inside our room’s air conditioning unit, and parts of the bathroom. On the one day we turned the heat on due to a chill in the room, a strong smoke-like odor was emitted, possibly from melted blue scent beads or air freshener which was visible in the system. Housekeeping did not automatically service our room during the week, we had to request it when we wanted it cleaned. While staff responded promptly to those requests, it would’ve been nice to have a more proactive approach to cleanliness throughout the property. In summary, the stay was quiet, budget-friendly (approximately $130 per night), and the staff was kind, but improvements in sanitation and upkeep, especially regarding mold and ventilation, would greatly enhance the guest experience.

Room was very clean and neat. Minimal low quality toiletries. Beds were full, not Queen so that was a not very good nights sleep. Staff was great. The biggest problem we had was the room they put us in was on the “2nd” floor, which was actually the third. No elevator in this building so we all had to lump our luggage up two flights of stairs. Hotel was not full at all, so I don’t know why they couldn’t have put us ground level or in the building with the elevator.

I stayed at the Inn at the Water Park in 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. So when we decided to do a 1-night stay in Galveston, I booked a room! I stayed in a new section of the hotel on the second floor. Biggest complaint I have is that there is absolutely no sound proofing between the floors. I was awaken at 4:45am by our upstairs neighbors running and jumping on their bed, and it lasted until at least 7am. They woke up my 7yr old up as well... Normally I wouldn't care, but we left our 4-week old with the grandparents for the first time on this trip. This was my one night to get a full 8-hrs of uninterrupted sleep. So as all parents can imagine, I was a pretty irritated. Still overall, we enjoyed our stay and the staff/rooms were as expected. Would probably go back but would insist on an accommodation on the top floor.

We were there to go to Schlitterbahn. This hotel is right by the water park parking lot. It was an easy walk. We didn’t have to pay for parking, we didn’t need an Uber, AND we were all able to enjoy the swim-up bar. The rooms are big and exceptionally clean. It’s a quick drive to the beach, downtown, or the cruise terminal. We absolutely plan to return. FYI - the water park allows wagons, small ice chests, and outside food / nonalcoholic beverages.

Maybe add some eggs and a meat even the traditional waffles would have been nice. The parking is lacking it’s hard to park large vehicles under the garage area. Over all if stay again and look forward to seeing the rebuilt areas.
