My spouse and I stayed at Hotel Galvez for full week and we were totally pleased with service especially from two waitress'. One was Paige Elmare and the other was named Georgeous (her real first name). Paige was full of energy, animated with plenty of smiles , prompt and funny. Georgeous was very friendly, a little shy, but very attentive and eager to please. These are just two of the many people who served us not only in the bar and lounge but also in the first rate Spa.

Don't miss the spa, because it is first class including showers, steam room, quiet relaxation room prior to your massages (included soft & warm neck rings, warm lounge chairs, nice robes and fresh champaigne). They come to get you after you've mellowed-out and lead you to a quiet private massage room. (They offer couples massages as well with two tables)

Hotel was built in 1911 and great care was obviously taken to bring it back to it's original glory/ There were two weddings going on while we were there. One was outdoors on the lawn and another was held inside. Beautiful venue!

Many thanks to all including the front desk personnel who are very attentive..The restaurant offers a great breakfast buffet or menu ordering which we utilized for at least one meal each day.

PS Their free shuttle took us to numerous restaurants and events and all were only 5-15 minutes away.

I had dinner here at the Galvez Bar and Grill. My wait staff was very attentive and friendly. It was a slow night and they were not busy. She recommended the snapper and it was delicious. It is convenient for those that do not want to venture out of the hotel.

Okay...we were really excited to eat at this famous hotel and were terribly disappointed. Our waitress barely saw us, but when she did she was very clipped and impolite. When we said we wouldn't be having wine, all she said was "Well then what are you drinking?" in a rude way.

Now the food was delicious, I had pasta and my husband had steak...BUT THERE WERE FLIES EVERYWHERE!!!! We could barely eat because the flies were trying to get in our food every bite we took. We ended up putting a cup off to the side of us to try to attract the flies away from our food.

Overall bad experience...will not be returning.

Laura is top notch, I had to fired someone and had to get her to wait on my table. She was fabulous , I know next I will ask for her section, she knows exactly what to do to please a customer. Laura will be our lady from now on. We come often.

Stopped in for a drink after a long bike ride. I had a very pleasant experience at the hotel lobby bar. I had a skinny margarita and an appetizer, everything was delicious!.. Just love stopping by this place every chance I get.
