I arrived at the Las Vegas airport late at night at the end of a long day of traveling. All I wanted was a room where I could sleep and shower, so without giving much though to it, I booked at Hotel Galaxy. The location seemed convenient, and the price was compelling.

After check-in, I proceeded to my room and discovered that there were no towels to be found. I returned to the front desk and procured two towels before finally being able to take a shower. Unfortunately, (and this is the first time I've experienced such an issue) the water pressure from the showerhead was much too high, and it felt like I was being blasted by a firehose. The drain was ineffective and the tub soon filled with water.

The towels were thin and scratchy. After my shower, I began noticing small insects here and there throughout the room. There were burn holes in the blanket, the floor, and extraordinarily, the walls. The room itself was rather unattractive, with a broken lampshade, deteriorating chair, and a large electrical box with unsightly cables and wires running to and fro.

There were also no comforts like a coffee maker, or even cups; I had to drink water from the bathtub tap since the sink faucet only produced scalding hot water. Then there were smaller inconveniences, such as the dirty state of the room. A blackened toenail lay on the floor of the bathroom next to the tub. I tried not to look at it.

Overall, my stay at Hotel Galaxy was unpleasant and, at times, humiliating. I would suggest not staying anywhere on Dean Martin Drive. If you want to enjoy your time in Vegas, I recommend spending a little more to get a nicer room in a better location. Hotel Galaxy did not offer anything enjoyable and I can't recommend it.

Located off the strip but with parallel to the strip itself, the Hotel Galaxy offers an excellent view. This is Great for pictures and especially watching fireworks like on the 4th of July or New years eve!

Refrigerator in room that worked; microwave in room that worked; no xtra charge. yes the place is tired, close to freeway with the traffic noise, but for the price it was great, I needed the refrigerator for my medication. I wanted microwave foods for some of my meals. I am a older, single white male traveling by myself. Also local phone calls no charge. Internet but had to call vendor for the most current password, but the internet connect was fast enough to have to laptops connected at the same time with no buffering.
