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!

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.

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

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.

This stay was ok. The hotel sent a message through Expedia of what to expect for parking on site but the info ended up being inaccurate. Additionally, the room was just ok. Not the most comfortable bed and the light switches were not placed in obvious spots (ie- to turn on the main bathroom light, you had to walk all the way over to the sink). It’s cute spot and really so close to a lot of downtown. But I’m not sure I would stay here again - wasn’t as relaxing as I had hoped.

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

Pluses are location, adjacent parking garage and spacious suite with a lovely view. Minuses no television in living room, very dirty shower, no paper products besides toilet paper, could have used tissues and napkins for the kitchen. The “mini bar” was a handful of soda & water in the refrigerator. Some upgrades still needed for these rates.

Be careful booking this place and prepaying for your stay the front desk personnel completely lack the know how and have no problem double charging you. Im personally still waiting on my refund even after contacting hotels.com
