Sadly disappointing
This was a special occasion anniversary trip. While the house is lovely and the hostess is very personable, the Breakfast part of the Bed and Breakfast was very disappointing. The Hotels.com ad talks about the amazing breakfast but fails to mention it is only available Saturday and Sunday. What was provided to us Thursday morning rivals Super 8. We even had to bring bottles of water down from the room for the Keurig. Had we known that there was no real breakfast, we would have booked somewhere else.

The best thing about Carr Mansion is the hostess. She is charming and accommodating. The house needs a deep cleaning and painting in some places though. The carriage house and backyard are not appealing, so stick to the main house. The breakfast was simple but good.

The Carr Mansion is a beautiful bed and breakfast but the security of the home is not the best. We walked right in mid afternoon (because of a baby shower event) and continued directly to the room without any assistance. We expected an adult-only, quiet, romantic vibe and walked into chaos. Despite that, the room was beautiful and I really enjoyed it.

The lady that runs the property is very sweet, but the property has SEVERELY declined from the website photos. It’s a safe place to spend the night, but it’s days of CONDE NASTE and TEXAS MONTHLY features are long over.

Nice Historical B&B
Great Location and friendly service. There was a lack of shelf and drawer space for clothes and the water pressure in the shower was low.

I wanted to stay in this historic property because it was involved in the 1900 hurricane and the grade raising of Galveston Island following the terrible storm.

Check-in is at 3:00 and we arrived at 11:00 AM just hoping to go through the check-in process but we were able to pay for the room, drop our bags off and get the key so this saved us a lot of time. The host is great and provided an excellent breakfast and service!

1800s Charm
The house is from the late 1800s so you're staying in a piece of history. Loved that. Breakfast was delicious. We stayed in the Honeymoon room, which has a king size bed. It was roomy and quaint. The bed is super high but they provide steps to climb on (I'm short so I did use them!) AC works great. Noise from outside might be an issue for very light sleepers. There was an alarm clock on the nightstand that went off in the middle of the night. I should have mentioned it to the hostess but failed to do so. That should be removed (cell phone apps render it completely unnecessary).

En suite bathroom is tiny but functional. Tub needs refinishing. Shower has good pressure.

Had a nice time there
Greeted promptly, host was super friendly and recommended a great spot for breakfast (thanks, sunflower bakery was EXCELLENT). It is a very cool old house but definitely in need of maintenance which the owner is working on. The room was comfortable even if not exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the standalone tub and there was plenty of hot water. The day we chose to stay there wasnt breakfast provided (maybe more of a weekend thing?) But the host had tons of snacks and a very well stocked tea and coffee bar. We did like how quiet it was there and appreciated it being a 21+ property. Not walking distance to the main attractions on the island but a straight shot driving wise getting around. Overall we enjoyed our night there.

Worst place to stay, dirty moldy and old
Was only able to stay one night as the condition of the hotel was terrible. There was mold in the bathtub along with stains all over the bathtub. Whole bedroom was dirty with old furniture. Walls had cracks and paint was falling off.The only good thing about that bed and breakfast was the host who was exceptional with great customer service. This is by far the worst place we've stayed on. We only statyed because we got there super late and were really tired because of a long drive there. We left first thing in the morning.

It is always nice to stay in an 'old" house. I adore antique architecture. It was easy walking to and from the location. The staff was helpful and gave me material to support the reason I was traveling. I loved the bed! High, great night sleep, the blanket was snugly! I think that the rooms are a bit overpriced. The decorations are functional but did not have the attention/cuteness factor that I am used to in a place like this. Everything I walked to was down from the house...I wish it was just a bit closer to the events I wanted to see. I would still consider stay at this location again - but in a different room. One more suited to my taste.

Unfortunately the room we reserved was given to another couple so of course my girlfriend was disappointed since it’s not a motel 6 where all the rooms are the same…she searched for 2 days until she found The Honeymoon suite and she loved it but of course it was given to another couple. We were assigned The Preacher which was the opposite of what she was looking for. It was nice though…just very underwhelming after I realized I spent $303 on one night for a room we didn’t reserve.
