GALAXY HOTEL

8/10 Good

"The view from the room was amazing. Room was very large for that price point. Only complaint was they state free self parking. When we checked in we were told the self parking was full. 🤔. So we had to go down the street and pay for parking. Not a deal breaker but don’t advertise it if you don’t have it or notify me ahead of time. It was fine though. Safe garage 2 blocks away with a nice walk. Overall I’d use the hotel again. The location and view were great."
