The Mansion on 17th

We stayed at the Mansion on 17th in the Hitchcock suite for 3 nights. We chose the location due to how it looked and the age. The former home is beautiful and has that Victorian charm we wanted. The Hitchcock suite was very large with a fireplace and window door that opens up onto the private porch. Wifi and Tv functions were great. Customer service was top notch. There were a few issues cosmetically that didn't have anything to do with the age of the house, but the biggest concern was the plumbing in the bathroom. The sink continually stopped up. We didn't say anything at the time since we figured it was due to age or a temp plumbing issue. Other than that, our stay was near perfect and we will always look upon our time there fondly.

This is a lovely historic property. Our room was on the main floor and even with foot traffic going up & down the stairs outside our room, it was quiet. For breakfast, you had a choice of five menu options that you could customize if you wanted. I opted for the French toast while my husband had the scrambled eggs with ham & green peppers. Both were delicious. If we are ever back in Galveston, we will be staying here!

It’s an old house made into a small hotel so don’t expect modern amenities, claw foot tub/shower, no pool, and parking is parallel on street but the staff and service as well are top notch. The breakfast was awesome. We have already booked another night for next years cruise.

We had a lovely stay! The house is beautiful, our room was comfortable, and the location was walking distance to many great restaurants. The staff was so nice, and we loved the evening “social hour” and excellent breakfast. Will definitely stay here again!

very nice

Was so cute I loved it

Everything was great, but the bed was not very comfortable.

This was our 3rd stay at the Mansion. It never lets us down. Great staff, great property. Tasty breakfast and the 4-5 PM social hour was outstanding.

What an amazing little find. A family run mansion. Absolutely perfect. Everyone was super friendly and happy to help with any questions we had. They were there if we needed them but were happy to leave us to our own devises. This was the end of our America trip (been to a few places) so was nice to relax. We were recommended good places to eat & help with the best beach to attend. The breakfast was lovely. Especially the eggs & coffee!! The bed was super comfy. And the sheets were super soft. The room had everything we need. We won’t be coming back to Galveston and that’s not because it’s a bad place, it’s actually really cool, but we have lots of the world to see!! But if I can recommend anywhere to someone else visiting, then don’t even think twice about booking this mansion. You’re close to the majority of everything you need & the property is beautifully decorated to keep it with that’s quirky feel. Thank you!!

The room was wonderful! Clean and quiet. We loved the Happy hour drinks for the meet and greet. We met up with great people that was staying there as well. We did a tour of Galveston as a add on and it was great. We've been going to Galveston for over 30 years but never learned about the history.
