The staff were stellar and the food was great. French press coffee was perfection after a long drive down from DFW. The only thing was the room and restroom we stayed in didn’t appear to have been cleaned, like a fresh reset. But I also understand B&Bs may have different standards to that of a hotel. The only reason we felt it was cleaned was due to the fresh linens and the bed was made. However the restroom appeared as if though the previous guest had just used it, as I found a toiletry item and used washcloth and hair in the shower and restroom floor.

Charming Bed & Breakfast in Galveston. Close to the cruise ship terminals, The Strand shopping and dining area, and the Gulf of Mexico. A great place to stay on your way to/from a cruise, for a weekend, or a quick getaway from the Houston area. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Free cocktails during an early evening social hour, and an amazing free breakfast as well. It felt as though you were walking into history as you entered the front door.

It is like stepping back in time. It reminded us of the bed and breakfast in the movie "Ground Hog Day." A Concierge will acclimate you to the home and take you to your room. The property provided a complimentary guest gathering. The next time we sail out of Galveston, TX, we will stay here the night before.
