Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the 1890 Freeman House. We stayed in the Fredericksburg room. The room had enough space to spread out a little and was beautiful. There were nice coffee and tea options in the shared kitchen for breakfast. The shared living room was the perfect spot to read and enjoy our coffees! The check-in directions were clear and easy to follow. The location was close to several restaurants and the cruise ports. Shannon, the owner, was helpful and friendly. If we’re ever in Galveston again, we would love to stay at the 1890 Freeman House again!
