Top Great Explorations Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

GALAXY HOTEL

8/10 Good

"Staff in the lobby are great. The comforter on the bed was not comfortable, and you should plan on parking not being available at the on site garage. Parking at Sundial is cheaper if you book ahead. Overall this hotel is a good cleaning crew away from being great."

Ponce De Leon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location can not be beat ! We were able to just walk all weekend ! You have to pay public parking down the street! So check in drop luggage then park walk back ! St Pete so fun and the hotel is near all the fun bar, restaurants etc ! The bathroom in our room was small but we managed as bot much time in room !"

Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, my experience at the hotel was wonderful. The room, hotel atmosphere, and bar were absolutely beautiful, and I would definitely consider returning. However, I was disappointed by an interaction with the overnight front desk staff. When I initially approached the front desk to ask where I could check out an item, I was informed that the system was updating. When I returned, there was a sign stating, “Be back in 5 minutes.” I waited longer than five minutes, but no one returned. Since I was unsure whether the system was available for guests to use, I stepped outside and noticed the front desk employee speaking with the overnight valet staff. When I politely asked whether we could use the system, she responded, “You can’t follow the directions on the keypad?” I found this response unnecessarily rude and unprofessional, especially from an employee at a 4.5-star hotel. As a paying guest simply asking for assistance, I expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. Despite this interaction, I genuinely enjoyed my stay and do not intend for this experience to prevent me from returning. However, I do believe management should address the importance of respectful communication and customer service, particularly among overnight staff. A beautiful property deserves service that matches its standards!"

Courtyard by Marriott St. Petersburg Downtown

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful. The property is rather dated in appearance and needs updating. Rooms have been updated to a degree. Fitness center is definitely lacking. It would be nice and usual to have breakfast included in the room price--that's definitely a negative."
