I just voted for my favorite B&B (among other fun categories) at Galveston.com's annual "best of" survey and figured it'd be good timing to share the interview I did with some recent overnight guests of Grace Manor Bed & Breakfast (1702 Postoffice)...
We caught up with REM and EM (empty-nesters from Northern Virginia) who were on the Island in May visiting family. They also timed their visit so they could catch the 2010 IBC Beach Revue which was, for us, an added bonus!
Me: "Why did you choose Grace Manor for your Island accommodations?"
EM: "It came highly recommended from many Islanders as well as the Beach Revue promoters so we gave it a shot and really enjoyed it."
Me: "IBC was very proud to have GM as an official sponsor of the Beach Revue again this year!"
Me: "What impressed you most about GM?"
EM: "The elegance and history of the mansion... Barb's gracious manner in taking care of all her guests... The wonderful front porch and talking with the interesting visitors... And the presence of Gracie and Joe, wonderful additions to GM"
REM adds: "...and the outstanding breakfast!"
Me: "What was your favorite part of the weekend?"
REM: "Perusing the Strand area shops, eating at the waterfront, visiting the Hotel Galvez, and getting to watch the Beach Revue."
EM adds: "and visiting with our children and grand dogs of course!"
Me: "Would you come back to stay at GM again? How would you rate your experience overall?"
EM: "We'd love to return - it's an outstanding place! I'd recommend it 100% to anyone planning to visit the Island."
REM: "We'd happily stay there again - had a great time!"
Michael and I have had the pleasure of being daytime guests at GM and experiencing Barb's hospitality. We'd definitely recommend it for your own of town guests - or even if you want to "get away" without leaving the Island.
