Needs TLC
Advertized as a boutique B&B in an older building in the historical district. Location was good, staff were great; however the building requires quite a lot of TLC. Heating was pot luck room having to have portable heater. Claw bath with shower curtain far too big making it somewhat dangerous for getting in and out. Electrical plugs barely hanging on, broken tiles and small plaster repairs just not taken care of. Cleaning materials left out on the landing next to bedroom doors. Needs work on windows as sone sashes broken. Dissapointed.

Amazing stay will return
This place was beautiful more than I could have imagined and the staff was so friendly always smiling and never missed an opportunity to make sure we were comfortable. After some minor flight delays we got in later than expected and missed the social hour but I can only imagine how special that was with the hospitality and friendliness we experienced in the morning Breakfast was freshly made and tasted amazing and got to use a French press for the first time

Charming Bed & Breakfast in Galveston. Close to the cruise ship terminals, The Strand shopping and dining area, and the Gulf of Mexico. A great place to stay on your way to/from a cruise, for a weekend, or a quick getaway from the Houston area. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Free cocktails during an early evening social hour, and an amazing free breakfast as well. It felt as though you were walking into history as you entered the front door.

It is like stepping back in time. It reminded us of the bed and breakfast in the movie "Ground Hog Day." A Concierge will acclimate you to the home and take you to your room. The property provided a complimentary guest gathering. The next time we sail out of Galveston, TX, we will stay here the night before.

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
