Es una experiencia diferente, agradable, histórica y hermosa. La mansión está muy bien cuidada, cada detalle es único. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y el personal es muy atento. Tiene agua caliente, en el lobby hay café y agua fría las 24 horas y el desayuno que incluye la estadía es delicioso. No pudimos disfrutar del Happy Hour porque teníamos hambre y fuimos a comer. Nos quedamos un sola noche pero nos encantaría regresar. El área donde está ubicada es muy bonita, limpia y a pasos de la mansión hay muchos restaurantes, tiendas de ropa, souvenirs, mini mercados y arte. Te ofrecen transportación al puerto por un costo y estacionamiento gratis si vas de crucero y tienes un auto. Nosotros usamos el servicio de Uber hacia el puerto por $10. Recomendado 100% si sales de crucero desde el puerto de Galveston o si quieres pasar unos días de descanso y tranquilidad.

The staff provided friendly service and were very knowledgeable of the area. The common areas were wonderful. The social hour was very nice; it was lovely to chat with other guests. We stayed in room number #6. It was suitable for one night but more attention to the details that make for an exceptionally comfortable stay is needed (deep cleaning, dusting, repairing things that don’t work, making the bed property). My allergies were thoroughly activated. We didn’t complain because the staff was so kind & there was a “pardon our dust while we renovate” sign. We might consider staying in the future in a different room, but I can’t recommend the #6 room. By the way, breakfast was also excellent.
