A Beautiful stay.
The Mansion is a beautiful place to stay. Tammy and Erika are excellent hostesses. Tammy drove us to the Strand for dinner and picked us up when we were done. She made sure the social hour started out right for all guests. Erika made a delicious breakfast and gave us a ride to the port. Wish our stay was longer. We will definitely stay here next time we are in Galveston.

Just an amazing stay. I took my 7-year-old son because he thought the "mansion" part sounded cool, and he was so right. The house has been updated so it has modern plumbing, lighting, Wifi, TVs, etc., but it still has the "Gilded Age" wealthy Victorian feel. The staff is truly friendly and welcoming. We ended up in the room that Alfred Hitchcock reportedly thought of "The Birds" concept while staying in; it has its own balcony that you access by raising a window and walking underneath, which my son was delighted at. Free cocktail hour was a nice little social event where we had club soda and fruit & cheese provided. The included breakfasts are sooooooo much better than typical free hotel breakfast. No powdered eggs here! They even bring you a full French press coffee pot with a timer. We felt really fancy staying here, you can park right beside the house, and it's about a 4 block walk to the beginning of the entertainment district / not far from the Strand.
