The Lasker Inn Bed and Breakfast

I had the pleasure of being a guest here for a reception last night. I love the place. I’m such a fan of old construction. This place has beautiful wooden floors throughout the place. I didn’t make my way upstairs to the bedrooms that I heard about. It’s a great, cozy, beautifully decorated place to have a small gathering.
The staff were all pleasant. They interacted with the guest and were very professional. The dinner area was beautifully decorated. I know the bride was extremely pleased with her reception.

Richard is the most personable man I have ever met! Marrying the man of my dreams could not have gone wrong but having our special moment at The Lasker Inn made it perfect. There are no words to describe how wonderful our wedding weekend was. It brings tears of joy to my eyes just thinking about how relaxing, special and personal Richard and Linda made our time in the house. The only thing better than Ethel and Stan’s breakfast were Richards vows that he wrote for us.
Ps our family loved being able to stay in the house with us

I originally scheduled to stay here after the place I wanted to stay seemed unavailable (that was in walking distance of my business event). When I found that I could indeed stay at the other hotel and canceled my reservation here, the owners made me an incredible offer. They invited us to stay as their guest, for free, for 2 nights after our business event as they wanted me to see their property! So we moved to this location once we finished.
What a place to unwind after the long hours we’d worked! This is an absolutely gorgeous mansion! There is lots of history here and the owners did a splendid job renovating the place, and they obviously spent a lot of money. The attention to detail is impressive, with fresh flowers and house plants throughout the house. There were 3 fresh flower bouquets in crystal vases in our room. Beautiful art and carved antiques that fit the style of the home adorned walls and filled the rooms. It is beautiful and elegant, but not over-​the-​top or stuffy. Other special items: a little bowl of dark chocolate in the room, turn down service at night with more chocolate and a chilled carafe of water with refreshing lime, a towel warmer in the extremely spacious bathroom, and a walk-​in closet that was the size of some hotel rooms.
The owners, Richard and Linda, take great pride in the place and are warm and welcoming. They could not have been more gracious, and they exude charm and southern hospitality. Linda’s fabulous breakfasts are some of the best I’ve enjoyed at a B&B (one of the things I love about B&Bs), and her version of French toast is more a cross between a bread pudding and custard. It was heavenly, drizzled with a fruit sauce and then topped with a fruit purée mixed with cream. Breakfast was served on beautiful dishes, and even the dewberry jelly was made by the owner’s mom, right down to picking the berries!
You can sip some complimentary wine or beer at the bar and catch some football action with other guests, and snack on goodies on the bar while chatting with Richard, serving as bartender. You’re encouraged to help yourself.
They were particularly accommodating in that we had about a dozen boxes that we had to ship back home, and they not only allowed us to keep the boxes there till the shipping service could pick them up, but Richard helped me unload them from the car. There is WiFi, so we could finish up work.
The hosts had excellent suggestions on places to eat and things to see, and pointed out places where locals go to eat, and not the tourist traps.
We will be back in Galveston again, and this time we won’t stay anywhere else!
Room Tip: From what I could see, all rooms are beautiful and spacious suites. You’d be happy with any one.

This B&B is great — I really recommend it for anyone looking for a great place and great hospitality in Galveston.
My girlfriend and I are young professionals in Houston and I was looking for a nice and romantic place to go for her birthday (and not too pricey). The Lasker Inn was a perfect fit. I was worried about B&B’s being too drab and old-​folky but the Lasker Inn and staff made us feel right at home, and had great recommendations on fun places to go around town. The room was beautiful, well kept, and impeccably clean — and big! we could spend time in the room as well go downstairs and socialize.
The house is perfect, but the staff and owners make the place. When we came home that evening there was a perfect flower arrangement and big cupcake to celebrate her birthday. The flowers and cupcake must of cost about 20% what we paid for the room… It was above and beyond, all provided complimentary. You can tell that they are truly focused on making sure you have a great time, not on making a buck.
The happy hour with appetizers, drinks and an breakfast are incredible and also make the stay worth it. I will not hesitate to recommend the Lasker inn to family, friends and co-​workers. I left this bed and breakfast feeling like I got so much more than I paid for, they created such a great atmosphere for my girlfriends birthday — truly a worthwhile experience!

Love love love this b&b!!! The staff is amazing and make you feel so comfortable and welcome… it isn’t a hotel feeling where the front desk watches you walk to your room and back out… it’s actually your home for the weekend!!! The antique furniture is so beautiful and gives the feeling you have stepped in to a past era… and the history of the property is so interesting!!! I also really enjoy the fresh FULL breakfasts that are served every morning in the dining room! You don’t get the boring eggs and bacon only… each time I have stayed we are served delicious gourmet breakfasts. The linens on the bed are so comfortable and the rooms are kept in pristine condition. This place is just amazing and I hope to be there again soon!
