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.
