Clean comfortable, wooden floors make people walking noisy.

It’s fun staying in a historic place in a historic part of town that’s so close to and walkable so many things. We couldn’t adjust the room temperature so our room was very cold. It would be helpful to have a couple of towel racks and a shelf over the bathroom sink.

Lovely older home in Galveston - nice room just very ‘European’ re room size, but lovely, lovely. Nice coffee bar in the hallway as well! Thank you!

Our stay was fine for a quick overnight. However, I had to call for a code to get in as I never received the check-in email. The bed was soft and the pillows lumpy, the ensuite sink didn't drain and the only house amenity was a Keurig with flavored coffee and tea which was not enough selection for all the guests. The location is good for cruisers as the apartment house is located fairly close to Harborside Drive. We would stay there again, but for just an overnight.

Temperature is centrally controlled so we couldn't adjust it at night when we got hot. Fan squeaked on higher settings so we couldn't even use that to try to cool down for sleeping. The outdoor exchange for the AC was right outside our window and not quiet. Needless to say we had a rough night. The room was clean and nice. Located within walking distance from the Strand so that was good.

A good stay as usual

The arrival process was easy as it was entirely electronic, but we were not sure that we had arrived at the correct place. The house is not well marked or designated as a hotel vs private residence. Everything smells of mold and the house has cameras placed (very obviously) everywhere; which was a little disconcerting. The room was very small, but usable and reasonable for the nightly cost. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, but the fluffy pillows went flat through the night. The room was kept very cold, but with no thermostat control. The bathroom has very little in the way of toiletries if you plan on taking a shower. The plumbing is all exposed and appeared to be leaking a brown rust on the bathroom floor. If it weren't for the humidity we would have forgone showering. We come from Phoenix and are used to poor pedestrian infrastructure, but Galveston takes it to another world of ridiculous. We routinely had to drag out bags across grass and mud or walk through the street. So, while you *can* walk to the port, it ain't for the feeble. Overall, probably would stay at a different hotel next time which is closer to the port.

I really don't like to leave a bad review for any reason, but I will give you my honest opinion. My wife and I booked a room at this establishment. We were going on a cruise the next day and decided to drive over and spend the night so we wouldn't be tired from the 5 hour drive. The ambiance of the house was exceptional. The room was nice and clean and cozy. Really the only thing wrong with the room was the bed. We ended up pulling all of the sheets and comforter off of the bed and slept on the floor. The mattress was so soft that it wasn't even comfortable to watch the television. At 4 in the morning, when we finally gave up and moved to the floor. We were finally able to get a couple of sleep. The location was a very quiet neighborhood, the location was very close to the Strand. We tried contacting the property manager to know avail. I would strongly recommend that you pass on this property, for the cost of staying here, you can stay in a hotel with more amenities and a front desk person if you want or need anything.
