Understand the Tremont Hotel is nice. Not on the beach, but is right in the middle of historic Strand District with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Also, there is a new hotel at Moody Gardens that you might enjoy.<BR><BR>http://www.moodygardens.com/hotel/index.html<BR>http://www.galveston.com/moodygardens/<BR>http://www.galveston.com/thetremonthouse/
