This was a nice property, convenient location. The area felt very safe. Nice hotel and friendly staff. Randy was very personable. The only con was the parking which was very limited. We weren't told about the free parking area on check in and ended up paying $40 to park the first night.

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.

The location and staff is what makes this property worth it. Yes, it’s expensive for a glorified motel 6 but compared to other hotels in the area it’s still worth it. The beds are hard and uncomfortable. You can hear your neighbor or anyone in the hall. The water is lukewarm and doesn’t get hot. But still all of that the location is worth it. Just keep in mind it’s a no frills but clean place to sleep. And try Still water Tavern! There food is amazing!

March 13-18, 2025 stay

Upon check-in we were told dining wasn't available and under construction. When making reservations there was no mention of this on website. Our room 905 smelled horrible and odd. Not to be rude but it smellsd as if the carpet had urine embedded or somewhat of a nursing home smell. Upon entrance the small coffee shop to the right look to be with minimal purchase items but nobody was ever there so we would need walk outside for coffee. The one gentleman that had a black and gray facial beard and mustache, I do believe he was the owner and was rather rude in regards to zero communication as we checked out. He was disheveled which I understand it was early however when I stated Inam checlking out, I asked for a receipt. He never acknowledge me, looked annoyed and handed me printed receipt. When he handed it to me he never said Thank you or anything at all. I work in the restaurant industry and with the public every day and know he should have had better customer service. I just spent $1,400 there to stay for five nights and I would have expected a minimal Thank you for staying. This hotel is in prime location however I think it needs serious help with management, customer service and amenities. If foresee it being under new management or become a new hotel with knowledgeable ownership!

Very unhappy with this hotel. I will not stay with them again. Toilets back up repeatedly so you have to go downstairs to the lobby restroom. You can't even flush liquid without it backing up inside the room. The hotel did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation other than "sorry about that." The manager couldn't even be bothered to return calls. Very disappointed.

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.
