Simply perfect no frills accommodations

This was an excellent lodging option while visiting the island. There are no frills, and no amenities beyond a very clean comfortable room (bed is so cozy). The location was perfect and is close to Down Town Galveston and the fisherman's Warf. The hotel is in close proximity to the cruse lines so if you need a nights stay while you await your cruises boarding, this is the perfect spot.

This is a great small "guest house" type of location. The rooms are spare but very clean and there's a coffee bar for the morning. The location is perfect, right on the edge of the Strand District with easy walking to restaurants, shopping and attractions. Easy walk to the Carnival cruise ship docks as well. Despite proximity to the district it's still set back in the residential area and therefore quiet in the evenings.

The house is a welcoming and quiet venue for quiet rest and overnight stays. Room 4 was small and cramped, but the queen sized bed was wedged into the room but was very comfortable. There was no room to walk around it. There was an in room bathroom that was clean and cramped, but it was convenient. We were able to walk to close by restaurants for dinner and breakfast. We then walked to the pier for embarkation for a cruise.

It was a quaint little room. Close enough to the port so we could walk. We couldn’t find where we could control the temperature, still too warm. Ceiling fan was ticking so had a hard time sleeping. Toilet kept running and shower was leaking.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was so tiny! The bed was shoved against the wall so you couldn't get out on that side at all.The bed was hard and we both had a backache the next day. It has new owners so we had to pay AGAIN and wait 2 weeks for a refund. There is no one onsite and you have to text/email for everything- like where are extra blankets. There's also no thermostat control in the room. There's no closet or drawers for your clothes. The room was clean. There is no early check in available. Doors don't unlock until 4, but we were able to make arrangements via messages for luggage drop-off before that.

This place was super cute! Easy to find, a little sign outside would be nice though, just so you’re sure you’re in the right place. I also wish there was ice available. But it was very cozy and comfortable, I would definitely stay again!

Location, location, location!

Perfect location for our night stay before our cruise, very close to the port. Very small space so it was adequate and what we needed for a nights stay for 2. Note: no closet or storage space so travel light when taking bags for your stay here. It wasn’t as cool as we would have liked it but the ceiling fan helped.

Good spot to stay in Galveston

This property is located in a good centralized area close to Port Galveston and the downtown area. Walking distance to cruise ships, bars, and restaurants. The rooms are small, but perfect for a couple who just needs a nights rest. Netflix is complimentary, as is the Keurig in the entryway area. Each room has its own bathroom. I highly recommend the Sunflower Bakery & Cafe, which is about 1/2 mile walk.

Easy check in, very kindly let me have a slightly extended check out time before my cruise Sunday as well! Definitely a squeeze and maybe not for big families, but perfect for a solo traveler or quick stay. The shower did blast me with cold water at one random point, but the hot water came back around so no complaints 😂

Love the property. Great for three ladies who each like their own private room. Comfy bed and room temp and bathroom. Front porch needs 2 long benches or chairs. Had to sit on the stoop in the fog to visit and enjoy a glass of wine. Otherwise would love to come back again. Great location for the strand!
