Seabreeze Hotel, An Ascend Collection Hotel
We stayed the night before our cruise embarkation. Best decision was to stay at this location, leave car on lot (additional fee), get transportation to cruise port (additional fee-one way or round trip). I will always pick this location when in the galveston area again. I highly recommend.
