Disappointed
Our room was booked through Hotels.com but it was an older room that needed repairs. The bathtub was stained, the bed sank to the middle, and the lighting was poor. This was the first time we have experienced this kind of room at Moody Gardens. We were disappointed with this trip accommodations.

The place is super nice. Very helpful and cheerful staff. Great food & menu. The concierge was not helpful, maybe I just showed up at a bad moment. We had to change plans when our sink stopped up, but staff got on the problem quickly. Impressive elevator service. The room was nice but not 5star nice. I feel like we way overpaid but options were few due to local events.

We stayed at Moody Gardens Oct 21-25. It was very quiet and staff were very friendly. The food was amazing. Only issue we had was getting ahold of room service to order the food. Would highly recommend for a family vacation.
