Galveston pre-cruise trip
I had the smallest room and it was perfect for me. There’s enough modern conveniences while maintaining the historical charm. The location is good for exploring. I would recommend this place as long as stairs are not a problem.

Great Place to stay
Nice stay before our Cruise...wish we had a day or two to stay and explore. Very walkable area and loved the quietness of the neighborhood. Just blocks from Cruise Terminal ...we took advantage of leaving our car there during the cruise and it was perfect! AND the breakfast was wonderful along with the staff! Will definitely be back.

Befitting mansion status
This place was amazing. This was truly a mansion not just in name. The house was gorgeous and well maintained. The staff was wonderful and very attentive. The breakfast was extremely delicious. We only got the privilege of staying one night, but there is more to explore on this wonderful island. The bonus of having a ride to the cruise port was a fine ending to our stay. Kudos to Aaron who graciously came back to the cruise port to deliver my phone which I accidentally left in his car.

The staff are amazing and so welcoming, and the breakfast was all fresh made. The bed was a bit too soft for our liking though. Would recommend, it’s a lovely historic mansion
