"This is a nightmare place"
"I would have given it 4 or 5 stars except that the motel is in a renovation phase or is still be built"
"Galaxy Motel suddenly stopped taking debit cards"
"The room itself looks nice but the room we stayed in the floor looks like it hadn't swept in 2 weeks, the refrigerator the microwave oh gosh dont get me started and the sheets had hair on them was dirty"
"This motel is the wrost I've ever been too, I feel like something was crawling on me the entire time"
This is a nightmare place. I mean it. We tried to book a late night room same night, even selecting a 12:30 am check in time - but when I called to confirm, the man at the desk angrily told me that there was no such thing as same night booking, and that I would have to come at 3 pm the next day. I spent the next 12 hours trying to figure out how to cancel the booking, calling back twice, and they yelled at me and told me that there was no way they could cancel the booking, that I needed to cancel through the site I’d used (though I had booked directly through their site according to their own confirmation email), and that my only option was to dispute the charge with my bank. Do not stay here, do not try to talk to them.

I would have given it 4 or 5 stars except that the motel is in a renovation phase or is still be built. Either way I had to leave the lobby walk around to the side and enter thru the laundry room in order to get to the stairway to walk up to my floor. The lobby isnt finished and therefore the elevator isn't accessible. Most likely because the elevator was installed yet. Idk. The room was nice, clean and spacious. Better than the other venues in the area by far! The rooms say no smoking, but there were clearly smells of cigarettes seeping into my room. And if there wasn't any smoking then they should encourage it by placing ashtrays in the rooms. ♀️... But over all, it's a clean space, spacious and they offer short stays/hourly rate.
Galaxy Motel suddenly stopped taking debit cards. We went in today after previously coming and the price went up and they no longer take debit cards even with you showing proof of ID. Which is now part of the new policy along with the prices going up. I went to use the ATM which did not work and got charged $140. The front desk was very dismissive about the charge and the inconvenience of having to wait. He lacked empathy and provided no assistance as we waited extremely tired. No one was called for assistance and we were just told to wait without any explanation. The person behind the desk resumed to play on his phone as we waited without further explanation.
The room itself looks nice but the room we stayed in the floor looks like it hadn't swept in 2 weeks, the refrigerator the microwave oh gosh dont get me started and the sheets had hair on them was dirty. So I went to the front desk and the guy told me I had to wait for the cleaning rew to come in 830pm for them to clean the room. So we went to the store and bought cleaning supplies, wiped down everything except the floor smh. Again the room itself is nice but the cleaning people are not doing a good job keeping the rooms clean at all.

This motel is the wrost I've ever been too, I feel like something was crawling on me the entire time. There was no wash cloths in bathroom towels only. And I truly believe it was a motel for prostitution, when i turned the tv porn was on several of the channels. The door latch was missing had to put chair under the door, did not feel safe, couldn't get money back it was non-refundable and management was rude. Needless to say this truly turned me off won't ever come back.!!!!!!
Very disgusting, the room smells, walls are dirty. Bed bugs on the chairs & bed. I felt really bad a friend stop in NY for just a few hours & that was close by the location they came to shop a few items. Never again would I recommend this place. Need to be shut down by the city. What kills me is that, these places make money, why not spend some money & keep up the standard of this place, only nice from the outside.
It's now a shelter, when it was a motel my experience wasn't pleasant, the rooms always have a disgusting smoke smell, though I'm fully aware who uses this motel, I'm of the opinion the smoking in the rooms should be fully controlled

Do not be scammed! This hotel was a shelter for the homeless and is used by the local ladies of the night. Very dirty and run down. The place smells of smoke and narcotics. Do not believe the fake ratings. There is no dining or breakfast option, or room service. Very disgusting rooms. BEWARE!

The rooms get a 4 due to blanket had couple of holes. Needed more pillows. Location is good because of all the places to eat from and easy transportation. Upside the entrance of the parking lot is too narrow.

The bed covers was yellow the towels we had in the room was yellow we had no face rags the walls was dirty when we first came in the lights was already on and it smelled like the shower was already on only thing that was nice was the bed with out the covers or pillow cause it was yellow
To call this a ‘fleabag’ hotel would be an unconscionable insult to both fleas and bags everywhere not to mention the racist staff deny me a room but when my white friends came they got in never in my life would i visit this hotel again they dnt like black ppl at this hotel
The motel, staff and rooms are better than rated...a very decent place in a good area.

The I was in is dirty used condom was still in the garbage last time I was there it was more cleaner don't know what happen to it now but I will give them a 5 also anyone that goes there please make sure you have a sucks on or a sandal the carpet is DIRTY
I understand everyone has to earn a living but maybe this hotel might want to invest in ESL (English as a second language) classes for their employees because there appears to a language barrier. Rooms are clean. Tons noise all hours of the night
Thise plece is bad bad how u rent the public roooommmmms that on the other floors of this hotel their shelters homeless people with kids there that'll make no sense what kind of environment is that the rooms are terrible bed bugs
4 hour hump motel. In the heart of what use to be affectionately known as "the Track" or the "Hoe Stroll" people come here to hump not to sleep. If you're not street wise or familiar with life in the hood stay the hell away!!!
I went to this place with my boyfriend and surprisingly from the reviews, it was fairly descent. Would I come again maybe . Regarding the area it is okay for this area.

I am earning you. This is a ghetto How drug motel! Enter at your own risk! It use to be a shelter and to be honest I do not believe they're covid compliance! Again enter at your own risk don't listen if you want.
This was one of the most uncomfortable, bizarre, and dirty hotels I have ever stayed in. There is literally a flyer on the entrance disclaiming if you are a prostitute to go away, just uncomfortable and weird.
I want to give it more stars because the room looks good and clean but the older man at the receptionist desk is rude.

Its no Hilton yet its a spot if u want to just chill catch a vibe with a person. It's next to a Popeyes and white castle. McDonald's, Wendy's, Checkers, and Dennys is up the block if hungry.
Smells of narcotics when entering the building.

Fine dining comfortable rooms excellent service. The rooms were on some honeymoon status. I highly recommend this place. Place so clean, you can lick the floor.
Quiet neighbourhood. Reasonably priced in Brooklyn compare to other. I wish to be more cheaper though.

The rooms are disgusting. Dirty walls, dirty sheets. Nastiest place I've ever been to. Walked in and walked right back out with my refund !!!! Terrible.
Very Poor customer service, dont know which is worse between Sunburn and here. Drive a little further there are better options just down the road.
Room was dirty someone else's garage left behind bathroom could cleaner for the price ppl pay they should do some type of upgrade to the place
Bad mice problem. Family Shelter. Has microwave tv and refrigerator in your room. . I hope they took care of that nasty nice problem they had
To many prosutes and its for sure a good area to eat and catch the highway to queens as the belt parkway isn't far but no trains near by
It's disgusting. Guest can smoke anywhere and anything. Holes in wall, dirty carpet, the bathroom was about the best thing in the room.
Other then price it was good clean, well kept place, and everything works, plus a lot of walking distance for food, store etc
The room was spacious the bathroom was suitable The price was fare I just wish checkout was in the afternoon will visit again
Very nice and clean room has lots of space i like how they have microwave and fridge in every room and a table with chairs
I tried to book a room and they hung up in my face and when I called again they ignored me, terrible people DONT GO HERE
Why Does it say on Google their a Motel. When I went there lastnight I was told they are a shelter, no longer a Motel
Only if you wanna get down n dirty.. stressing dirty... place needs major improvements.. was great while it last too

They DO NOT accommodate over night stays. Only 4 hours at a time which is weird,may be a hoe house …

Clean rooms and very convenient as we could not find any rooms in Manhattan at 2 AM on New Year’s.
Feel sorry for anyone looking for hotel quality at a motel lol. it excels at what it's meant for
It was good for the time I spent there... I would definitely return as a repeat costumer. …
This place is a true $hit hole. Stay away.

It was OK. The room was a bit uncomfortable, but for the money you can't complain.
The staff at the front desk sucks. The room were nasty. And they had bed bugs....
Service was good... not the most fancy but if sleep is what you need... it works.
They charge you one price on the phone and when you get there,they add $20 more
It need whole make over not so clean and a whole bunch of other things
Its the bad hotel i been there it need to shut down this place forever
The heating system are poor. My room on the second floor was freezing
Not worth the price when it was open. It's no longer in operation.
Busy with people you eont want to associate with. Kind of isolated
Nice and clean compare to what it use to be. Good deals price wise
Idk what it was like as an actual hotel but im grateful it exists
It was very convenient price was okay but the room was smelling
Was ok but left out with bite marks smfh wasn't worth the money
It was okay. The place looked like it has lot of drug activity.
It was great I didn't take a pic of the beautiful room though.
I love it
