My wife & I stayed here Easter weekend and it was a most enjoyable experience. Everything was very clean (our room, the grounds, the pool, etc.) and we enjoyed seeing and talking with Michael & Ashley who showed up everyday to work on something. Those two are a hard working couple. They clearly are very proud of their little hotel and rightfully so as it’s a gem. Great location if you like going to the Strand, the beach and everything in between. We will definitely stay here again. - Sean & Lori Smith

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at the Mansard House and absolutely loved it. Being a big fun of ‘Restoring Galveston’ and watching while Michael and Ashley renovated the old boarding house, I knew we needed to see it in person. It did not disappoint! Our room was amazing, suite 22, and we realized our suite was the only one with a window in the bathroom, which makes this Boutique Inn unique in its own way. Perfect location to either go to the gulf side or the harbor/historical area. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. Staying at the Mansard House and visiting Galveston and taking in the history of the island is a must do. It will not disappoint!

Our room(s) was spacious and well appointed. The bed was comfortable. Loved the exposed wood on the ceilings and in the closets (such a Michael and Ashley touch!). The secure parking was comforting. Breakfast was simple but the bagels from the shop across the street were phenomenal!I did wish there was a small bench in the bathroom on which to place clothing items when showering.

We just spent 5 nights at the beautiful, cozy and well-appointed Mansard House. We looked forward to our stay for months and were inspired to stay based on our love of the Restoring Galveston show and watching the transformation of this historic building. It was different to have self check-in with Concierge staff for only some of the day. However, just before arriving, we received a detailed email about check-in that contained all of the information we needed and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We didn’t spend any time at the pool area except for about 30 minutes one afternoon between activities and dinner. Otherwise, our room was fantastic, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast area is perfect for a quick complimentary breakfast of bagels, fruit and yogurt each morning and the staff we did meet was welcoming, helpful and friendly. As a special bonus for us, we got to meet Ashley and Michael! We highly recommend Mansard House if you are visiting Galveston.

My husband and I were so lucky to get to stay at The Mansard House earlier this month. What a wonderful boutique hotel! Our room was beautifully appointed and quiet. Great amenities, super comfortable bed, and a wonderful little continental breakfast each morning. We are huge fans of Restoring Galveston and staying in the historic boarding house that has been lovingly brought back to life by the Cordrays was so special. Good area for food trucks and shopping. Great food truck and bagel place across the street with cool menus. You can bring your food back and chill out by the pool. Wonderful gift place next door with art by local artists. We will definitely stay there again. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my “So Vintage” t-shirt too.

My husband and I are traveling all around Texas and have stayed in a bunch of hotels. We decided to try The Mansard hotel when we were in Galveston and it was amazing. It is quiet and very clean. Easy walking to the beach and restaurants. The beds are so comfortable and the pool is wonderful...we swam despite the 55 degree morning. We hadn't considered an extended stay in Galveston but now we are. We highly recommend The Mansard as a place to stay!
