We Stay in the Only Michelin-Keyed Mansion in Galveston (Overrated?)

In this video, we are in the city of Galveston for a stay at the historic Carr Mansion! Considered one of the best hotels in Galveston, this 4-Star property has earned a Michelin Key, and has been featured in multiple publications - from Texas Monthly to Condé Nast. As always, we'll show you our room (The Preacher) and around the property. Additionally, as we were not offered the breakfast perk for our stay, we will give you a look at our visit to Moody Mansion (an iconic mansion featuring historic tours) and Gaido's (which, according to Trip Advisor, is supposed to be the best place to eat on the island)! Have you stayed at the Carr Mansion? Would you? Have you been to Galveston? Let us know what you think in the comments! We always enjoy hearing about your travels!

Josh is originally from the San Francisco, California area, though his family moved many times during his childhood (including to Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas). Inez was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. We found each other in 2016, after we both moved to the Austin, Texas area for college, and we married in 2018! Inez worked in education and Josh in the legal field. We have since embraced our love of travel as a couple and we now seek to share those travels with you on YouTube! Why did we start the channel? While planning a trip, Josh found it difficult to locate resources that would provide a "real look inside" of certain hotels, restaurants, and at unique experiences. Without this information, Josh found it difficult to know whether the hotels, restaurants, experiences, etc. were worth the money or effort. No one likes to feel as though they've wasted their time or money on clickbait. As a result, we started this travel channel so that we could share our travel experiences with you in order to provide you with a "real look inside" at the places we visit. In doing so, we hope to provide the additional information we seek when booking our own travels! Hopefully our videos will help to answer some of the questions you may have regarding the hotels, restaurants, and/or experiences we feature in our videos. In that way, we hope to help you better decide for yourself whether any of these places are worth your time or money when planning your own travels. In Season 1, we learned how to film and create YouTube videos for the very first time. In Season 2, we continued experimenting with how to make videos, as well with the kind of videos we wanted to make. For Season 3, we hope to continue to grow and improve as content creators, as well to continue to provide you with interesting travel content (that hopefully proves helpful and entertaining)! As always, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who watches, likes, and subscribes to our channel! We hope to continue to bring you new travel videos for years to come! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! —————————————————— 0:00 - Our Stay at the Carr Mansion 1:13 - Yard, Front Porch, & Entry 2:18 - We Chose the Unique Room - The Preacher 2:38 - Room Tour - Part 1: Fireplace, TV, AC, & Fridge 4:05 - Room Tour - Part 2: The Bed & Seating Areas 5:52 - Room Tour - Part 3: The Water Closet 6:41 - Room Tour - Part 4: The Bath, Sink, & View 8:10 - Exploring the Carr - Back Deck/Balcony & View of Wedding Area 9:00 - Exploring the Carr - Upstairs Public Area 9:23 - FYI Regarding Breakfast 9:40 - We Visit the Moody Mansion 10:02 - We Dine at Gaido's (Galveston's Best Restaurant?) 10:59 - Exploring the Carr - Front Lounge, Dining, & Coffee Areas 13:57 - Late Night Visit to the Front Porch for Dreamcicle (pet cat) 15:03 - Final Thoughts & Cost
