On Fridays at 1 p.m., the staff provide tram tours of the gardens and greenhouses. The point for starting a self-guided tour of the gardens is located behind the greenhouse. To get there from Interstate 45, drive to the 61st Street exit, drive along 61st, and turn right on Seawall Boulevard. Then turn right onto 81st Street, and turn left onto Hope Boulevard. Complete with a hand-carved carousel horse, player piano, and a handcranked phonograph, the home transports you into the early 1900s, as you enjoy one of the three rooms or Spencer's Carriage House.
All units have private baths.
Kathleen's Room has a private Front Porch. Sarah Jane's Room, and Hughes' Loft are the other units. Breakfast brings the aroma and fine tastes of Jim's cinnamon buns and pastries. They are set together, beside the Gulf of Mexico with manicured grounds, and all the amenities that a vacationer or conference goer could ask for. Lighter meals are served in the hotel bar, including steak sandwiches, steak brochettes, and Cajun ribeye.
