The mansion itself was beautiful but the staff was phenomenal! Rick was amazing from the moment we booked our stay. In fact he personally called me a week or so before we came to tell me my card on file with Expedia didn’t seem to go through. When I offered to give him my new one he said it wasn’t necessary and just looked forward to meeting us! I was so grateful he called and I didn’t lose my reservation. We got messages with directions and what to expect with details about complimentary...

The staff and stay at GM, was amazing. The apartment was quaint and cute and had everything we needed. I can’t say enough about James.

This was our first visit to this hotel in the Galveston area. We come for dickens on the strand each year. We love the proximity to the beach and some other nearby attractions. The front desk staff was often unavailable or scarce. The breakfast was wonderful. The facility is very nice. There is also posted ours on the door of the bar, but when we inquired, they said the bar was closed until a later time.
