Hidden gem

Great location cant wait to come back! This location was a hidden gem nestled in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We were delayed getting there and they were kind enough to check on us and give us detailed checkin instructions with a picture. The room was comfortable and had a claw foot tub😍 Although we were unable to partake in breakfast(last minute errand) we enjoy the most delicious French press coffee and the food looked and smelled heavenly!! All of the staff were beyond courteous and kind. We will absolutely be staying again.

What a cute place and close to the port and downtown. The staff was marvelous and attended to every need we had. I will warn you there is no elevator and there are three floors and schlepping or luggage down three floors was not the greatest fun. Overall I would stay here again. They were friendly. We were able to get a ride over to the port and the breakfast was amazing.

Galveston pre-cruise trip

I had the smallest room and it was perfect for me. There’s enough modern conveniences while maintaining the historical charm. The location is good for exploring. I would recommend this place as long as stairs are not a problem.

It was great, breakfast excellent. We were on top floor (3rd) no elevator so if you have problems walking upstairs i suggest you ask for a 1st floor suite.
