Stay Here!
I would stay here again in an instant. The service was personal and efficiant. Aaron was especially helpful and went above and beyond for us. We only stayed a night prior to our cruise, but they treated us like we would be there forever. Will be back for sure.

My husband and I stayed here for the first time. We love coming to Galveston for little quick getaways, and The Mansion on 17th was absolute perfection. From the communication right after we booked, to the recommendations from the staff, and the wonderful kind staff. Thatā€™s just the start. Then you get to the mansion, and itā€™s like you walked into a different era. The rooms are lovely, the happy hour is fun, and the breakfast is to die for! Made from scratch for you with different options to choose from. Itā€™s within walking distance to the Strand and lots of options for places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already looking to book again soon!

OMG this place is so CUTE! We booked just one night before leaving on a cruise. The room was huge, and had a very cute screened in porch attached with and excellent view. We walked a couple of blocks and had some wonderful and reasonably priced Tex-Mex food! I had not planned on eating breakfast, but my husband went down for coffee and he said we just HAD to eat because it looked so good. And it was wonderful! I had scrambled eggs with crab and hollandaise sauce that was to die for. I would definitely recommend staying here!
