I had a fantastic weekend at The Galaxie! The hotel is in a great spot, just a short walk or bus ride into town. My room was super clean and comfy, and the breakfast was the cherry on top! The staff were beyond friendly and always ready to help. A few noisy neighbors kept me on my toes, but overall, it was a lovely stay.

My stay at The Galaxie had its highlights, especially the good breakfast that offered a variety of hearty options. However, the experience was overshadowed by poor customer service from the manager and issues with room amenities. While the location was convenient and the staff was generally friendly, I found myself frustrated with the noise levels and the lack of proper heating in the room.
