Very nice bed and breakfast. The hotel was very original to period. It does truly have a water-closet with the toilet. So if you’re large framed, you’re not gonna fit. Also, there was a bathtub in the middle of the room in the open. So if you have any modesty, forget it.

Jollynn was incredibly flexible and accommodating during our stay. We had a wedding to attend on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. and requested an early check-in so we could get ready. She graciously accommodated our request at no additional charge and even met us at the property to personally check us in. Her exceptional hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile made our experience stress-free and truly enjoyable.

Breakfast was served each morning at 9:30 a.m. and was a wonderful touch. On our first morning, we enjoyed delicious banana muffins and apple fritters, along with a selection of coffee, tea, juice, orange juice, and water. It was a great way to start the day and added to the warm, welcoming atmosphere of our stay.

We truly appreciated Jollynn's hospitality and would highly recommend staying with her!

She we work with you for sure!(

We spent the weekend at Care mansion and it was a perfect experience. The house was quiet and beautiful. We stayed in the social lite and really enjoyed the room. The bed was very comfortable. The host was attentive and always available, she also cooked us a wonderful breakfast. Will definitely be returning.

My husband and I loved our stay at the Carr Mansion! This historical home was charming, clean, and comfortable. Joellyn was a fabulous host; she served delicious breakfast and offered several tips/ recommendations for activities around the island. The location of the home is near to several other historical landmarks/ museums, the Strand, and the Seawall. We highly recommend booking a stay at the Carr Mansion for a relaxing trip with a home-like feel that typical hotels just can’t match. We will be back!

The room was lovely, and the bed was comfortable. Our hostess, Joellen, was friendly and courteous. She makes a mean waffle! Since we were the only guests that evening, we had a lovely conversation with her. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to Galveston.

We arrived for check-in and were greeted by the manager. She showed us the details of the room like the airco/heater. Our room was clean, beautiful, charming, and filled with antiques. It was like staying at a wealthy uncle and aunt's house. I thought a lot about the history of the house and wondered who might have been to parties there a hundred years ago. The neighborhood was quiet, and pretty close to the Strand and the beach. We'd definitely stay there again.

Unique place. Rundown but they are trying to restore I think? Doorknob literally fell off when we turned it. Their dogs are running around inside so you have to be careful to not let them out. No shower or blow dryer in the room. Floors filthy and I got a burr in my foot trying to step into the bathtub to rinse my feet off! Lighting terrible unless you open curtains to look out on balcony that is falling apart. Buffet breakfast we were told to be there at 9:30 (several times) at 9:50 we were served a plate with a waffle, a couple of berries, and a sausage link. No buffet! Tea or coffee to drink. Not even regular water or ice. My partner ate both of our plates since I don’t eat waffles or sausage or drink tea or coffee and the waffle was tiny. I would have been fine with water & toast but not available. For the price I could have stayed anywhere else and been far happier. The location was ok but still had to drive to the beach, shopping, cruise terminal, and it was not a safe neighborhood.

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.

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).

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.

Lovely stay.

When we arrived for our anniversary stay, we were informed that the room I'd booked was not available. The a/c had given out, the owner (Joelynn) had tried to have it fixed, the repair person had not fixed it. The owner had a portable a/c unit in the room and it seemed to be doing the trick. However, my wife liked the other room (The Grocer) better because it had more light.
I was happy that the owner did what she could to accommodate us. We loved The Grocer because of the light and a private balcony.
Breakfast was very good and filling and she offered mimosas!
When we expressed interest in the building, she sat down with us and told us all about the history.
Overall, I couldn't have been happier to stay in such a nice place for our first wedding anniversary.

Beautiful and Clean!

My stay at the Carr Mansion was amazing. I stayed in the Preachers room. It was extremely clean. Bed sheets and towels were soft and smelled so nice! Location was great peaceful and quiet perfect for a relaxing time. Breakfast was not “Buffet style” she served homemade Belgian Waffles with fruit and Sausages. Super delicious! TV in my room was glitching a lot at first then it stopped not sure why. Other that service was Phenomenal!
Thank you Joellyn for everything we will definitely come back!
I recommend this Bed & Breakfast 100%.
