Breakfast was excellent, food is delicious. Tammy was especially helpful and went above and beyond in assisting us with our small wedding ceremony at the mansion. They also made transportation to the cruise port seamless. My wife and I highly recommend The Mansion on 17th for all of your vacation needs and wants.

Everybody is super friendly and helpful. The owner drove to pick me and my wife up from the Cruise Port and brought us to the mansion even though it was earlier than when they usually do that. And in his personal car. Then told us about the downtown area while our room was being cleaned. It was great.

This was an amazing bed and breakfast. The staff we so friendly and welcoming. In fact, I forgot my husband's jacket and they called and are mailing it to us. The only suggestion would be to alert guests about their claw foot tubs. A bit tricky to get into. They do have one room with a walkin shower.

The service was outstanding. The place was clean and well maintained for the age of the property. We had the most accommodating host that met us, transported us down to the Strand for a tour and dinner. Breakfast was by far superb. Parking was free and transportation to our cruise ship was provided on the day of our departure. This B&B is a must stay property in the Galveston area.

We stayed at the Mansion on December 4th and 5th. Weather was as expected 20-24C.
We had the ground level room, with 15ft ceilings. The room as well as the mansion was so neat and historical. We loved the creaking floors and the older feeling, but all the comforts of home. Breakfast made to order in the morning by the owner Rick. Coffee and breakfast was amazing!
We enjoyed happy hour at 4-5 with a drink of wine and some cheese, fruit and crackers.
We met some sweet couples, oddly within an hour drive of Galveston (tells you how great the place it).
We did a historical ghost tour at night, that was fun.
Looking forward to making it back simply to stay there again.
