Great experience!
Incredible experience at the Galaxy Hotel! The front desk staff, especially Randy, were always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It was the perfect location - walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do in Downtown St. Pete. Would love to stay here again next time I visit!

Had a wonderful stay at Galaxy. Our flight was cancelled and our trip was cut one day short. Randy, the Galaxy representative worked hard to communicate with Hotels.com to secure a refund for our missed night. He also saw to it that we were in a very nice room and were comfortable during our short stay.

ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT
I booked this hotel for my wife's bday and Valentines day. When we first arrived I thought wow this looks nice. From that point on it went down hill. The parking situation is not good. The person at front desk was new and let me know that FEMA was using this hotel as a place for disbursed hurricane victims and only 40% was actually being used as hotel. The lobby was completely silent. The coffee shop was closed and teh energy of the place was super strange. Check in was supposed to be at 3pm and it took over an hour to get the keys to room due to the POS and Credit card system not working since the Hotel part just opened a couple weeks prior. NEVER is this stated on Hotels.com website.
Well at 4:15pm we were handed the keys to the top floor luxury room we booked. Great! Not so soon.... Only one problem. They said due to the balcony mezzanine needing to be inspected the door is locked and you cannot use it. WTH! We go to the room and it is literally the cheapest, corniest, sparkly silver furniture. The windows are blocked by giant 20' blinds that you cannot open. Absolutely worst room ever!! I ask for a different room and they say they dont have any.
I was so disappointed and actually the most I have been with a hotel in I cant remember how long.
I felt like I was scammed.
We use hotels quite often and I dont need much. Nice check in. Clean room with what I pay for.
STAY AWY FROM THIS PLACE.

Staff exceeded expectations
Specifically the staff members Randy, Josselys and Keila were amazing. I called ahead and asked the hotel staff to take care of setting up the hotel room that I paid for with the Valentine’s Day Decorations. They were happy to do so and they did a fantastic job decorating the room. Our room was on the 9th floor and it was actually pretty big for a hotel room. I would like to also say that working wit Randy was a pleasure he is really nice and easy to talk to. He is the nicest hotel staff member I have ever met in my life!

Not enough parking and front desk wasn’t sure if the closest public parking had overnight parking.
Water pressure in shower was very weak and no hot water. Ran shower on hottest settings for 20 minutes and it was still lukewarm

Everything was great. But there was a strong smell of mold present. The building had some issues and they were working on it.
