The Mansion on 17th
We absolutely loved it here! The old time Victorian charm is everywhere in this mansion. Its location is perfect for a short walk to the strand for shopping and eats. It’s also just a 5 minute drive to the Seawall. The staff is amazing and very hospitable. Drinks are free at the evening social hour ...

From my first inquiry with the owner/manager to a text asking if we needed anything, this was an amazing experience. Beautiful facility. Comfortable. Elegant. Welcoming and centrally located. I can't wait to visit again and stay there.

Galveston Beach Hotel
The area was not to bad . Just wished the room was a little bit cleaner . It smell like someone left a wet towel through the night . Also you have very small hard pillows. You should feel more comfortable but it was ok. The staff was very helpful and very friendly.
