Reviews of The Excelsior House Hotel
"This place was so cool! It was like sleeping in a piece of Texas history. The staff was super helpful and the rooms were very clean and organized. The balcony over looking the courtyard and fountain made doe some great pictures. We didn't hear any ghosts but that's okay! Had a great night's sleep and highly recommend!"
"We had a wonderful experience, but short visit because of deteriorating weather. Beautiful room, great service, but need to give instructions on how to work the heater!"
"The oldest hotel in Texas. We stayed in the Diamond Bessie suite, the only suite they have. This is not a bad thing, as the rooms are very well kept and have that historic feel. The Diamond Bessie room is AWESOME. A large 4 post bed, plenty of room for unpacking. A modern, well equipped, and stocked bathroom. The sun room has a large TV, a daybed and windows. From here, it opens out to the beautiful court yard. The Excelsior is centrally located to anywhere in Jefferson you would like to go. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This is THE PLACE to stay when in Jefferson."
"Had a lovely time celebrating my anniversary with my wife. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, although the extra blanket on the bed was a little too warm for my liking. Breakfast was very good. And most of all, the historic atmosphere of the building is really cool. It's like stepping back in time 150 years."
"We had a great stay. All the staff was helpful and very nice. Linda, who served our breakfast was very attentive. And breakfast was very good. We ate in the enclosed porch and enjoyed the sunlight and view. The front desk staff were also very good. After we got home we thought we left something in our room and when it wasn’t in Lost and Found, Kimberly went to the room to look for it. It was a cord and plug so no big deal to lose but very nice of her to go to the room and look and make sure it wasn’t there. The hotel is in walking distance of everything but there is no elevator so if you can’t do stairs, get a ground floor room. The large breakfast was very good and worth the price. The eggs were definitely not instant. The grits were very good and the muffins and biscuits were small ones and fun but we had plenty of them. We couldn’t even eat them all. One of the ladies in our group was on a strict diet so they hard boiled two eggs just for her. Very nice thing to do!"
