The George Manor — Hotel in Galveston

I didn’t want to give this place a 1-star review, but I feel it’s the only to ensure future guests get accurate information. The facility is in fact, very cozy if not a little tired due to its age. It’s obvious that Rosie and Michael work very hard to care of the place. Their service and dedication is admirable. If your stay is without any complications, it will be lovely. If you have any issues, dealing with the owners will not be pleasant. Just read some of their responses to other negative reviews and you’ll see how they treat feedback or complaints.

The problem with George Manor is with the White suite. The website says the bathroom is adjacent but is actually across the hall and completely separate. This isn’t ideal if you value your privacy as you will have to leave your room and greet your neighbors as you cross the hall. This is especially awkward in the middle of the night or morning when you’re just waking up. They do provide slippers and a bathrobe but if you’re self conscious about your privacy or appearance, this is not the room for you.

Unfortunately it was too much for my wife to deal with as she was recently recovering from surgery. We decided to check out early and I requested a full or even partial refund based on the lack of privacy and ambiguousness of the room description. The owners opted to treat me to a not-so-polite response complete with their interpretation of the rooms description and Websters dictionary definition of adjacent. The customer in this case, was not right and they blamed me for my lack of understanding thier room description. Not really what I was looking for but they did offer a room credit for a future stay, which I’ll never use of course. That hollow gesture and their terse response is why I give the one star review. If you are considering this place, do not take the White Suite if you are not prepared to have the bathroom separate and must use a key to open and close said bathroom as the latch on the door...

We and friends stayed at the George Manor for Memorial Day weekend. We decided to have a low key and relaxed wedding while there. Valerie helped arrange it and made everything very easy. | The property is so pretty and very comfortable. It’s not far from The Strand, but far enough away to be extremely quiet and peaceful. Though what really made the stay so fantastic were the owner and staff. They were amazingly gracious and went above and beyond for their guests. | We opted to have dinner there after the wedding and the food was absolutely outstanding and the service was perfect. Between our guests, we tried most of the items available and everything was fantastic. The potato soup, escargot, and shrimp cocktail for the first course were huge hits and it just got better. I definitely recommend the Rouladen, which was completely new to me, and so good. Several guests had the Rugen and loved it. All of the desserts were delectable. I don’t think there is anything that Chef Michael could prepare that one would not be pleased with. | While I never made it down to breakfast, everyone else raved about it and on Sunday, Graham, the owner makes a traditional English breakfast. My new husband brought a muffin to me each morning and they were so good. I sat in bed, drank tea (which was provided in the room), ate my muffin, and read in the quiet peace of the property. | No review of the George Manor would be complete without out mentioning Rosie and James who accommodated all of our needs with warmth and kindness. James is so knowledgeable about the history of the area, I definitely recommend a conversation with him. | Our weekend was so much more than we ever imagined and we will always be grateful for this wonderful experience. | I have a feeling, we will be back to escape the fast...
