Just an amazing stay. I took my 7-year-old son because he thought the "mansion" part sounded cool, and he was so right. The house has been updated so it has modern plumbing, lighting, Wifi, TVs, etc., but it still has the "Gilded Age" wealthy Victorian feel. The staff is truly friendly and welcoming. We ended up in the room that Alfred Hitchcock reportedly thought of "The Birds" concept while staying in; it has its own balcony that you access by raising a window and walking underneath, which my son was delighted at. Free cocktail hour was a nice little social event where we had club soda and fruit & cheese provided. The included breakfasts are sooooooo much better than typical free hotel breakfast. No powdered eggs here! They even bring you a full French press coffee pot with a timer. We felt really fancy staying here, you can park right beside the house, and it's about a 4 block walk to the beginning of the entertainment district / not far from the Strand.

I spent one night at The Mansion on 17th prior to taking a cruise out of Galveston. As a solo traveler, I was well taken care of by Tammy (Innkeeper). I enjoyed meeting other guests during the social hour (cheese, crackers, olives, wine and cocktails were served). Tammy had the porch firepit on for those who wanted to sit outside (on a rare cold Galveston evening)...which I took advantage of after walking back to the Inn after dinner. I stayed in room 6 and enjoyed a bath in the clawfoot tub. The bed was comfortable and I appreciated that breakfast was served until 10:00 am. and there was a choice of items (biscuit and gravy, french toast or quiche). Thank you Tammy for a wonderful stay in Galveston and at The Mansion on 17th. I'll be back!
