Top Great Explorations Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

GALAXY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and wellkept. Housekeeping was on time always. The front desk was super nice. I loved the lucky cup coffee cafe downstairs, super convenient, and amazing food. So close to the pier and the fun bars! The only downside is they didn’t have a waterfill station only water fountains in which you’d have to bring your mouth too but I survived (I had extra water bottles on me)."

The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection

6/10 Okay

"Hotel is beautiful, as are the rooms. Unfortunately my stay was soured with poor service in the main cafe in the lobby. Beautifully presented cafe with very poor customer service tarnished my visit. Raised with management who were slow to respond and failed to do anything subsequently, despite assurances otherwise. Disappointing as I bought 6 people from my company here as well. Great hotel, let down with staff in key areas. I should be clear that not all staff were sub standard. Staff attending folks on arrival are excellent and were visibly frazzeled also that my issues could not be resolved faster. I appreciated their concern."

The Cordova Inn, a New Hotel Collection Property

4/10 Poor

"The restroom had a line of ants and the very old window AC sounded like a jet engine. The shower is no bigger than a phone booth and one person can barely fit at the sink. The hotel parking is free but you park in a garage down the street and around the corner. $40 “resort fee” for what? We were there overnight but I know this is not resort and it has no amenities. Our room in the old section was so small that the left side of the bed was right up to the edge of the door so there was no night stand to put anything on and no plug-in for your phone. The hotel has a newer section, but it was offered at $100 more per night."
