We stayed at this property for our 40th wedding anniversary. The stay exceeded our expectations. Aaron, the very nice gentleman who was managing the property, went out of his way to acquire a few items for my wife that she just mentioned in a casual conversation. That impressed us a LOT! Thanks again Aaron! Breakfast was excellent. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we travel to Galveston.

Beautiful old mansion and our room was stunning. Check in was super easy and the manager and staff were extremely nice and helpful, we arrived early with no problems. They gave us a tour of the whole House. Breakfast was made to order and tasty. Overall an enjoyable stay.
