Reviews

Clean rooms and in a great location.
-
I checked in late, no a/c in the room and I was in for the night by 11pm after driving around to find food so hot and miserable I checked out before 8am couldn’t sleep after 2 showers but room was large view was nice. I didn’t see anywhere there breakfast to have.
-
There was not enough parking they sold out and didn’t offer to validate parking and the front desk was rude and the rooms didn’t offer outside calling I had an emergency and needed to reach my husband who was on the way and my cell went dead and I could not call from the hotel phone

Saw a couple of bugs in sink. This is florida so not unusual. Also coffee pot did not work.

For a downtown high-rise hotel, it only has 16 parking spaces -- otherwise guests are left to hunt for street parking or public pay-by-the-hour lots (which may go way up in price at event times like baseball games, soccer games, etc.). The hotel has no general TV service, only a unit on the wall for guests to use for their streaming apps (which did absolutely no good for my elderly parents who wanted to watch the NBA Finals game on network TV). And for a hotel that's relatively new, we found it poorly planned/constructed/appointed -- inconvenient light switch placement (ex: had to go out near the front door to turn on the bathroom light), the shower hinges, screws, etc. were not meant for exposure to water, so everything was completely rusted and staining the tile, no toiletries other than a pump bottle of Walmart hand soap, the in-room phone was not operational. The beds were comfortable and the air-con worked very well, but a lot of other stuff left us perplexed and unimpressed.

Very very average. Lazy and rude staff. FYI there is only parking in a garage with only about 10 spots. I would suggest making other arrangements ahead of time n

Great location close to downtown Saint Pete. Walking with distance to beach Drive, the pier, downtown bars. The corner suite was excellent with amazing views of the bay. Only downfall is very limited parking on site which typically requires offsite parking several blocks away

Exceptional

As usual everything was great. It’s not the first time we stay at the Galaxy. The only thing we didn’t like this time is that the staff that was working when we checked in didn’t acknowledge us for a while. They were doing something in the computer and at least a “ we will be with you shortly “ would’ve suffice. At check out the staff was fantastic. Other than that I highly recommend The Galaxy Hotel.

-

Disappointing
-
Parking was a pain
-
Location, coffee place It is a 3 star hotel not 4 as published... No lobby except the coffee shop, no room service or bar, no laindry service, and the a/c was super noisy even when turned off.
-
The place was nice and clean, they should add like a vending machine for late snacks. The only thing that I didn’t like was the check in, I had to wait 15 min because it was at 3, I turned around. And there were like another 10 ppl waiting, why ??? It’s not like the rooms were not ready. I just didn’t appreciate that.
-
Fair price for parking. The Hotel lobby is welcoming with a cute little coffee shop and lots of natural light, the room however, felt incomplete. Nothing to gush about. Phone didn’t work in the room so had to go down to the lobby for three packs of coffee, no washcloths just shower towels, some outlets didn’t work. But the big thing was the exorbitant fee for early check-in even though our room was ready.

Property was in a great location, was not able to get coffee prior to leaving to the airport in the morning. Some additional amenities would be great.
