Top Great Explorations Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

GALAXY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first visit to the Galaxy and I was impressed from the moment I walked in the door. I’d had a bad day and then I had an issue with my card for the deposit,my phone was dead and the young lady behind the front desk was so friendly and so pleasant and helped me with anything she could and got me into my room. The room was beautiful. The view was beautiful. I will actually be returning this weekend."

Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Nice little Hilton in downtown St. Pete walking distance to lots of downtown locations. It has everything you need in a full service hotel, pool, hotel bar, breakfast cafe, coffee shop. Room was clean, plenty of hot water, AC quiet. No complaints. Have stayed here several times before and will likely stay there again. Great bang for your hotel buck."

Mint House St. Petersburg Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"This place was exactly what I was looking for. Central to everything, extremely walkable. My only complaint is that having to move my car around did get kind of old. Valet parking is exorbitant at $40 a day. Luckily downtown has tons of free parking options right around the hotel, so if you time it right you can park easily for free overnight. It’s very central to a lot of nightlife, so expect to hear some noise at night. Surprisingly things calmed down even on weekends around midnight."

The Birchwood

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful but know the building is old. So you hear EVERYTHING! Luckily I brought a sound machine to sleep! Our bed was awful. The noise every time you moved sounded like shots being fired. When we complained about it we were basically told it is what it is. They offered us another room for $100 more a night which we declined. The lobby bar was our favorite part. Great drinks and great service. Loved the bartender and staff!"
