The staff was excellent. I had a issue with my tv and they were very helpful. The hotel was clean and seemed to be recently updated. However, the workmanship of the remodel was not great.

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.

Only option to park is valet parking. Valet person was complaining that the garage is too small and that he has to move all the cars just to move one out so we decided to uber instead of driving our own car to avoid any trouble. After checking out and getting our car back, we found a GIANT deep scratch in the car— probably because of all the car-Tetris that the valet person was talking about. Very very disappointing that this happened. Overall the property is fine but damaging my car is a major issue and I would not recommend that anyone stays here especially if they plan to use their own car.
