My husband and I stayed in the “Newlyweds Room” at Carr Mansion. (Each room is cleverly named after a piece of the inn’s rich history.) Built in 1866, this historic, landmark home hosts just 14 guests at full capacity. Joellyn works tirelessly ...
to ensure her guests have a clean, comfortable, friendly stay.
From the moment we arrived, she personally attended to our needs above and beyond our expectations of a host. We know this type of service comes at a personal cost and so appreciated her time and effort. A hotel is just a hotel; but Carr Mansion is a home and you will feel that cozy sense of belonging with each day of your stay. We highly recommend Carr Mansion if you are planning a visit to Galveston. As a bonus, it’s conveniently located near The Strand and the cruise ship port.

My wife and I spent Labor Day weekend 2023 at Carr Mansion and we had an amazing stay. We stayed in the Carriage House behind the main house, and we loved it.
Joellyn, the owner, was very hospitable and routinely checked if we needed anything...
. She offered us drinks on our arrival. My wife liked some cookies that were available, and she provided a package of them for her later that night.
Joellyn had breakfast catered by renowned Chef Mary Bass, and it was quite delicious. Delicious breakfast casserole and tamales.
It was very close to the Strand and the Seawall, so everything we did was just a short drive. We will definitely be returning to try another room at the Mansion!

Loved our time here! Came for a romantic weekend getaway from Houston. The mansion is gorgeous from the outside, and the owner did such a great job cleaning up this historic building and ensuring it's very clean on the inside, yet retrained alm...
ost every drop of its character from the last 200 years. Rooms were very clean, beds extremely comfortable, and very cool aesthetic.
The hostess is very very nice and accommodating. Goes out of her way to ensure you have everything you need, and more. Makes lots of great local recommendations. And breakfast is delicious (served on weekends).
Nothing but good things to say! Will be coming back here when we return to Galveston.

So charming we spent our anniversary here. This place is a gem. Breakfast was better than any restaurant. 10 /10 highly recommended. If you want something charming and romantic just go ahead and book the room. You will be glad you did.

This was a special anniversary trip. Lovely house. We received an upgrade because the room we booked had electrical issues. Joselyn, the hostess is very personable.
However, when we arrived, we were informed that breakfast, Monday though Frida...
y was Continental. Had we known that (it wasn’t mentioned on the listing) we would have stayed somewhere else. Our favorite part of Bed and Breakfast is the breakfast. Also, I had to fill the Keurig with bottled water as it was almost dry when I went down, and I had to fill it several times that morning (we drink a lot of coffee). In addition, there were no cup sleeves and the lids did not for the cups. A huge disappointment.
WIFI in the room was too weak to support streaming.
Considering the lack of breakfast (absolutely no protein) it was definitely not worth the money.
