The room was well kept, and the staff was very pleasant. This is an antique mansion, thus the furnishings will reflect some wear, but it is a very warm place that will take you back to the turn of the last century.

The Property was very clean and near a lot of restaurants that were near to walk to. The Host was super friendly and very helpful for anything we needed and recommendations for activities to try and restaurants in the area. I recommend travelers to stay here if you are traveling in Galveston to take a cruise. The property is very close to the Galveston Cruise port terminal and I would definitely stay here again.

Cleanliness needs improvement, hair and dust, steins on bed sheets. No window in the room - this should have been highlighted when booking.
