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!

Nice hotel in St Pete
Galaxy hotel is perfectly located near everything that downtown St Pete has to offer. It is walking distance to shopping, dining, and the waterfront. It is a simple hotel with not too many frills, but very clean and accommodating. The room is spacious and we had beautiful views of the water. The bed was firm and bouncy and not the best quality, but the pillows were nice. The room was very clean, I like the tile floors and the slippers and robe they provide. Albeit there should've have been 2 sets since we were 2 people staying but that's not really that big of a deal. There is a little cafe in the lobby, but that's about all there is that is extra.

We stayed on the 9th floor, the view was great. The room was very spacious.
We did have an issue with the room and let the front desk know on checkout.
Randy the front desk manager, without us asking reached out to us later and went above and beyond to compensate us for the issue.
We will definitely stay here again on our next 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.

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!

It was a lovely place to stay and super conveniently located. I didn’t love that the only parking option was paid valet. I also didn’t like that I was asked to put my credit card information down on a piece of paper that I had to sign saying I was going to be charged a $100 deposit, but at the same time I was told the deposit wasn’t charged anymore. Was a little bit sketchy and confusing.

Property is nice and relatively new. Great location. Only issue is parking.
Online it says $10, front desk said 20, but the parking garage ultimately charges you $50 to stay overnight. Parking is only issue other than that it’s a great spot

Work in Progress
The hotel is still a work in progress. There is no valet parking yet and no rooftop bar yet, but they are working on it. The hotel is in a great location by the bay, which was perfect for what we wanted to do. I would like to stay again when everything is complete.

The hotel was nice and clean, but the beds are very hard and they only have about 10 parking spaces. You have to park in paid public parking garages a few blocks from the hotel.
