There was no valet parking like advertised on their website. Sink did not drain and water pressure was so low the water could barely come out of the faucet. Shower floor was filthy. Ever time we ran the sink and shower it mad crazy rattling sounds. They could not seem to get my room charge correct as many different amounts were swiped and declined until they finally put the correct amount in. Will NOT be staying here again.

Overall I would go back and stay. However the staff at the front desk at times isn’t the most guest friendly. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day however I don’t feel respected when I am cutt off mid sentence and rushed through my questions. The rooms are nice but you can hear your neighbors conversations and intimate times. Especially early morning. “Valet” parking is a joke. There was no “valet” I paid to park and parked my self and when I left same thing. Overall was happy. Staff could be better. Or trained properly in customer service.

Excellent customer service

The Galaxy distinguishes itself for the outstanding customer service. Check in was a breeze with Randy and Paula! They were very organized during the Grand Prix and were able to accommodate early check in. Also after checking out Randy was able to fix an overcharge due to miscommunication with another rep. The hotel was very clean and all their staff are customer service first. Valet parking attendant was very courteous and helpful as well. Will definitely return.

I had never checked out of a hotel early to move to another hotel until I stayed at the Galaxy. This place is understaffed, undertrained, and missing so many basic amenities that it felt more like a half-finished project than a functioning hotel. Let’s start with the rooms—basic necessities were either missing or replaced with laughable alternatives. Instead of a proper towel rack, there was a tiny 3M Command hook stuck to the wall. The “closet” area had no real lighting, just stick-on rechargeable lights that barely did the job. There wasn’t a clock, and the ironing board was a tiny tabletop version instead of full-sized. And there’s no gym—one of the most basic amenities you’d expect in a modern hotel. The worst part? The mattresses were downright painful. Thin, low-quality, and incredibly uncomfortable, I woke up with severe hip pain in the middle of the night. Housekeeping was another miss—due to minimal staff, rooms weren’t cleaned until after 5 PM, making it feel like an afterthought rather than a standard service. Check-in was also a headache. I had to fill out paperwork, which made me wonder if they even had a modern system to securely store credit card information. It felt like stepping back in time to an era before electronic record-keeping. But by far the most egregious issue was a complete breach of guest safety and privacy. A food delivery driver was given my room number and allowed to come directly to my door. This is unacceptable. No reputable hotel should eve

Pros: Nice remodel in the lobby! Very friendly staff! Fast elevators. Very good location for the Indy Race in March. Really nice pillows. Cons: Limited parking and pull-up space. The remodel in the rooms had a lot of cheap stick-on fixtures and was short in many ways. The water pipes are not properly fastened so you hear pipes banging as toilets are flushed, sinks and showers are turned on and off, and other rooms use water sources too. Horrible mattress has a huge dip in the center and edges. Issues: Low water pressure for the shower. Almost no hot water flow at the sink. Shower hot/cold was reversed, so our kids got burned in the water during the first use. Leaking pipes in the shower wall so you had to deal with the tapping sounds of the dripping water in the wall for the duration of each shower use and about 5-10 minutes after. Became annoying after 30 minutes of constant tapping. We used the TV to drown out the sound. Overall thoughts: Not a bad choice if it were half the price we paid. But, for what we were charged per night, we expected a nice property with no issues and a more comfortable accommodation. What they have going for them is a friendly staff who is obviously trying their best to make up for the shortcomings of the property itself.

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!

It's very difficult to rate this property, because it just opened back up again after hurricanes. The roof top bar was not open, the spa was not open. The staff that we came in contact with was all new and some it was their first day. I would like to go back when everything is open because we could not take advantage of all the amenities.
