Fabulous - highly recommend for location history and service

Traditional style with everything in good working order. Large rooms with lovely porch and bedroom balcony. We were looked after incredibly well, even our preference for plant based food for breakfast. Morning coffee was amazing and coffee and water on tap throughout our stay. Porch socials were a lovely touch and we enjoyed the chilled hour or two before wandering out for our evening meal.

Bathroom door needs modernising as does air con. Also could do with a better hairdryer that isn’t hot or off.

Schade, dass keine weitere Nacht mehr verfügbar war

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, freundliches Personal. Social hour zwischen 4 und 5 mit Wein fanden wir toll. Gute Nacht Drink stand auch bereit 😄 Frühstück mit aufgebrühten Kaffee 👍

Das Duschen in der Wanne mit dem Vorhang fanden wir sehr gefährlich. Keine Haken für Jacken im Zimmer. Zimmer im Dachgeschoss klein und anstrengend mit Koffern, aber das haben wir geahnt. Dafür ist der Preis gerechtfertigt

Perfect in all aspects.

The location in the historic district was ideal along with the proximity to the cruise port after our weeklong cruise. We stayed an extra day in Galveston and this Inn was perfect.

We wished we would have planned and booked a second night.

Will be returning as soon as I can!

It was so beautifully appointed. Absolutely charming and the interior with the beautiful staircase and stained glass windows. The service and staff were impeccable. Great suggestions on things to do. Was relaxing to sit out on the porch and enjoy coffee. Breakfast was great. The highlight was taking the Model T golf cart for a spin to see all the wonderful homes.

Wonderful escape, beautiful accommodations

Perfect location. Wonderful staff. Breakfast was delicious. The home is just gorgeous, a beautiful Victorian mansion.

Because the home is a Victorian house, be prepared to haul all of your bags up lots and lots of stairs, and back down again when you leave. There is no elevator and there is only a small staff.

Unique and wonderful room and board!

Crazy-unique place to stay, great historic house in historic district; wonderfully furnished w/ claw-foot tub, antiques and art, luxurious bathrobes. Great attention to our needs and desires by Tammy, the "caretaker," who carried our bags up and served us delicious happy-hour drinks and snacks, and led us to the perfect dinner place nearby. Excellent hot home-made breakfast with choice of biscuits/gravy/sausage, quiche lorraine, or something else we didn't have--I forget. Friendly atmosphere all 'round.

Would have liked a 2nd bedside light for reading--though overhead chandelier worked okay.

A lovely stay in a beautiful property

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely historic property. The home is exactly as pictured & is beautifully restored. The staff is stellar, the happy hour lovely (the old fashion was perfect.. a must try) & the breakfast delicious. A lovely stay in the heart of Galveston, close to all the attractions. This is a 5 star property, with a 10 star staff.

An experience and a beautiful space!

Personal attention and genuine warmth and Texas hospitality from the owner upon check-in. Gorgeous old home with expansive en suite rooms. High tech where it mattered (mattress, TV, internet) and everything else was perfectly old and divine! Had our own personal balcony! Thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary cocktail hour and morning breakfast. Met some interesting people cruising through Galveston. Why would I ever stay in a hotel?

Nothing! It was authentic and we were perfectly pampered!

Going back again as soon as we can.

Beautiful place. Elegant. Staff was super friendly. Walking distance to the Strand. Free Happy Hour. Coffee and flavored water available all the time. The breakfast in the morning was FIVE STAR, all made from scratch. We had crepes with peach filling and real whipped cream. YUM.

Not a thing for us.

Very deceiving and not up front about fees.

The breakfast was good and plenty of it. The welcome was great and the communication PRIOR to staying there was good.

Prior to staying there I was told that we could receive a complimentary ride to and from the port to get on the boat. This didn’t happen and as we were getting out of the old time car that is when we were told, “How do you want to pay for the ride?” I said I didn’t because it was suppose to be free. She said, “I will just charge your card that you have on file.” Sure damn enough it was charged without my permission or knowledge because I told her no she wouldn’t.

We booked this as a gift for our daughter’s 25th birthday for her and her best friend. They absolutely loved their stay

Friendly staff, not over crowded and very relaxing. Beautiful building and interior. Breakfast was amazing.

Breakfast was uncomfortably quiet when no music was playing 😁 Exterior color is a bit bright

Superb

Tammy was wonderful as were the rest of the staff. The location is excellent for downtown activities. They have a fun antique style car golf cart to shuttle you.

Only issue was bathtub and shower. The tub was tall and stand alone making it difficult to get in and out of.

Stay here. If you are disappointed you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

We loved the staff. Tammy & Cora Lynn were very helpful and attentive. The location is literally in the center of everything. It is a 5 minute drive to anywhere. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. We slept like babies! Cocktail hour was fun. We met other guests and Tammy pours a helluva drink... Cora Lynn is incredibly attentive and kind. She was always asking if she could lend a hand or if we needed anything. Tammy gave great suggestions on where to eat and where to visit and was always available to drop you off if needed.

Nothing, really. We are sitting here trying to think of something bad to say. Nope. Nothing. Maybe be a little more diverse in the breakfast menu, but even then, I can't complain about it. It is an old mansion. If you go in there thinking the property is going to be shiny and new, then this isn't the place for you. If, on the other hand, you love the history and nuances that go with 130 year old property, then you can feel confidant in booking this for your stay. It was great!

I’d like to extend my gratitude to Tammy and her daughter for making my Solo Adventure absolutely wonderful.

A very pleasant experience and the Staff are really great people.

Nothing. The nostalgia of the home and property is the reason why one would go.
