Location

The self guided Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum is 250 metres from the 3-star inn, and the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier is 2.6 km away.

Not far from the Rosenberg Library is a perk for guests staying at The Freeman.

Eat & Drink

Offering Mexican dishes, La Mixteca Mexican Restaurant is situated within 600 metres of The 1890 Freeman House Hotel.

“The 1890 Freeman House presents a quirky, historic option in Galveston's East End, particularly appealing to those keen on immersing themselves in local culture. Shared kitchen facilities add a communal touch, and the pet-friendly focus is a genuine advantage for animal lovers. It strikes me as a stay best suited for easygoing travelers who appreciate character over cookie-cutter accommodations.”
