    Lovely OLD home... pictures relay this beautifully. Not your typical amenities (no mini frig or microwave)... however, a delightful breakfast and very nice stay.

    From opening the door to enter to handing the keys to leave, it was the most enjoyable stay we’ve had in a very long time. Loved hearing some of the history of this place

    Beautiful area and staff was great

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Beautifully restored/maintained 1800's property with all the niceties. We stayed here as a stopover during travel before boarding our cruise out of the Port of Galveston near by. The staff made us feel welcome, was very accommodating of our arrival delay and took the time to make sure we knew where all the comforts were and that we were well settled. Breakfast was amazing and fresh. We will definitely stay here anytime we visit Galveston!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was a great stay! Will definitely be back.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Bedroom was not that clean you sit in the chair.By the bathroom, you could see the dirt and the dust under the bed.If you look in the bathroom from that , point you also concede the toilet, the dirt under the rim and behind the toilet. If you look at the doors in the bedroom as well as the bathroom door very dirty dusty, they can't wipe those down the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great chef was great.

    Traveled there in May of 2026. The property was amazing and staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was amazing and made to order. We also used the shuttle to the cruise port which was super convenient.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great stay, everything was perfect

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The staff was amazing. Our only complaint was to do with the bathroom. 1) There was no shampoo in the shower, 2) difficult to take a shower do to the arrangement of the shower curtains in the tub, and 3) the hand soap at the sink was watered down.

    Es una experiencia diferente, agradable, histórica y hermosa. La mansión está muy bien cuidada, cada detalle es único. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y el personal es muy atento. Tiene agua caliente, en el lobby hay café y agua fría las 24 horas y el desayuno que incluye la estadía es delicioso. No pudimos disfrutar del Happy Hour porque teníamos hambre y fuimos a comer. Nos quedamos un sola noche pero nos encantaría regresar. El área donde está ubicada es muy bonita, limpia y a pasos de la mansión hay muchos restaurantes, tiendas de ropa, souvenirs, mini mercados y arte. Te ofrecen transportación al puerto por un costo y estacionamiento gratis si vas de crucero y tienes un auto. Nosotros usamos el servicio de Uber hacia el puerto por $10. Recomendado 100% si sales de crucero desde el puerto de Galveston o si quieres pasar unos días de descanso y tranquilidad.

    We loved staying at this Bed and Breafast! The amenities like wine and dine, along with the home cooked breakfast were wonderful! It had easy parking out front and was only three blocks away from The Grand. Would definitely stay there again!!!!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great staff and charming accommodations! A great experience.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Old structure but good care for age. Enjoyed stay. Convenient location.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The staff were very helpful and friendly. The stairs were not vacuumed as well as they could have been, neither the floor of my room but the bathroom was spotless. Parking is on the streets but it is safe. The house has so much character and atmosphere. I love staying there.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was fantastic! The hotel was clean and beautiful!!! The even allowed us to park our car there while we went on our cruise. Would highly recommend to everyone!!!

    Lovely old historic mansion with a quiet atmosphere! No kids during our stay which was great as adults wanting to relax! Within 10 minute walking distance to the strand and it was a nice walk!
