Post Cruise stay and visiting Historic district.
The Mansion on 17th Street was awesome. It was right in the middle of the historic district and an easy walk to The Strand. Breakfast was made from scratch and excellent; the afternoon happy hour was fun to talk with other guests and staff about their cruises. The staff was very accommodating! Highly recommend!

AMAZING PLACE
I was going on a solo cruise and when I saw this beautiful property I booked it. I can't say enough about how wonderful my stay was, the woman there are so nice and a big thank you to Stephanie for all her help and being so sweet & friendly. Erin was so knowledgeable about the area, he gives a tour in the nicest car. The breakfast was made fresh and the pressed coffee was delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone and when I go back to Galveston would love to stay here again.
Great drink menu
Loved the bathroom

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.

Great Place to stay
Nice stay before our Cruise...wish we had a day or two to stay and explore. Very walkable area and loved the quietness of the neighborhood. Just blocks from Cruise Terminal ...we took advantage of leaving our car there during the cruise and it was perfect! AND the breakfast was wonderful along with the staff! Will definitely be back.

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.
