Excellent one night stay
We flew in to Houston Hobby for one night pre cruise. We had read other reports to avoid staying near the airport due to undesireable location but it worked best for us and timing of flights in- Grandma flying in 6 hours before us and we wanted her to be able to check in without us. Her finding transportation independently to Galveston was not desireable. 
We made an excellent choice. She easily caught the free shuttle and checked in and we rented a minivan and checked in 6 hours later. The hotel was clean & comfortable. All of the staff that we encountered were wonderful & pleasant. We only needed one of our 12 bags for the night but did opt to bring in all our luggage from the minivan as we didn't want to present the opportunity for a car break in but we felt swawfe & comfortable staying at the location. We had free wifi- but we are spg so not sure if it is free for all. Would highly recommend staying here. The entrance was easy to find not sure why it was an issue for others that posted
