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

Stay Here!
I would stay here again in an instant. The service was personal and efficiant. Aaron was especially helpful and went above and beyond for us. We only stayed a night prior to our cruise, but they treated us like we would be there forever. Will be back for sure.

Outstanding Victorian mansion in the heart of Galveston. Absolutely impossible to say a bad thing about this place!! I was actually greeted at the front gate by Aaron, their concierge and and Jack of all trades. He then served a small group of of at the open bar for the evening and drove us to the port to catch our ship the next morning. Such a fine and friendly gentleman. Breakfast was outstanding, and service there top notch. The room (The Laura) was spacious and comfortable, with a walk out porch on the second floor. House is situated within walking distance of the Strand, which means so many shops, restaurants and other entertainment are close. Yes this is amazing, but the staff in this place just add that magical touch you just can't find anywhere anymore.

6/10 Good

I feel like the other reviews were misleading. It is a nostalgic property but not what I was expecting from the pictures and reviews. It is definitely a 100 year old house. Window ac unit. No real door locks. Just the little twist lock on the door knob. Door to the balcony only closed with a little piece of metal. Not what I was expecting. This was for our 20th wedding anniversary date night and I was so disappointed. I almost cried. For $290 I expected more. We did not try the food as we were just staying to sleep there. We had other plans.

Beautiful!
This B&B is beautiful and welcoming. The restored historic home has much more charm than a modern hotel for those of us who appreciate old world character. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the additions of a social hour in the afternoon and a gourmet breakfast make this place a great value for your money.
