Honestly I couldn't think of one negative. Staff were very friendly and helpful, Got there early and was given 2 options for my luggage which was so amazing since I really wanted to enjoy Galveston. They had a room that was ready and it was very nice, great views, excellent accommodations. Breakfast was Continental style but it had SO many options. Would definitely recommend the Harbor House to anyone who wants a great stay

Our one night stay at the Harbor House was peaceful and quiet. Great sunset out over the harbor, and the bed and cold AC made for some great sleeping. We dined at Katie's next door, but there are lots of good options close by.
