Beautiful old mansion near port. Needs work. Breakfast included. Happy hour that includes complimentary drinks. No elevator, 3 story, be prepared. Especially if you’re put on the 3rd floor like us.

The property and the amenities were welcoming. The room was clean and aesthetically pleasing. The hospitality of the staff was impressive. The breakfast included with the stay was made fresh and the selection was a cut above what you would receive at the typical “hotel style” breakfast. A another stay at this wonderful place will be in the near future.

The Mansion is an incredible experience and historically significant property, having survived the 1900 hurricane in Galveston. The property has been lovingly preserved and the staff were exceptional. On arrival we were met by Aaron who took great care and time to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The Kona Hawaiian coffee is sublime and breakfast was a great conclusion to our stay. Highly recommended.

Great spot. Excellent hosts. The bedroom was very nice (we had the balcony) and the downstairs space was very nice too. Afternoon beer and wine in the house bar a plus and a fantastic home cooked custom breakfast. Definitely recommend the Mansion!

Try to book Room 1- it’s gorgeous and unique. The breakfast was delicious- complete with French press coffee. Jenny was a fantastic hostess. Great location- close to shopping and port.
