Disney World, Galleria Palms is a mid-range hotel with 118 clean, modern rooms with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. There aren’t many amenities or much style, but prices are typically low for this category and most guests simply use the hotel as a home base from which to explore the area theme parks. Features are nothing special, and include a small fitness center, outdoor pool, and free breakfast of hot and cold items. The free attraction shuttle can get crowded, and the breakfast a bit repetitive. Families looking for more outdoor amenities may want to check out Liki Tiki Village, a large resort with a children's lagoon with water slides, and a mini-golf course.

Scene
Basic hotel with dark, generic decor and family-friendly atmosphere
Galleria
Palms Hotel is housed in a five-story, yellow stucco building in a touristy neighborhood dotted with Disney gift shops and casual, family-friendly restaurants. While the property lacks originality, it does offer nicely kept grounds with palm trees, shrubbery, and tropical plants. Inside, the lobby has beige tile floors and a long front desk of red, black, and white tile. A small room off the lobby meets family needs, with displays of theme park brochures and a guest services desk for ticket purchases; there are also ice cream and soda vending machines, an ice machine, and an ATM. Breakfast is served in an area in the lobby with dark carpeting and black plastic tables and chairs. The small, outdoor pool is surrounded by the
hotel’s parking lot, detracting from a relaxing vibe, but tall palm trees make
it a touch more scenic.
Location
In a busy tourist area very close to Disney and a short walk from restaurants
Galleria Palms Hotel is conveniently situated within a five-minute drive of the entrance to Disney World, home to Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom Parks, Epcot, and more. In the immediate area there are several restaurants within a few minutes' drive or five-minute walk, including a steakhouse and diner-style eateries, as well as a supermarket and liquor store. The hotel offers a
free shuttle to the Universal, Sea World, and Disney theme parks several times throughout the day and night. The
Orange County Convention Center is within a 20-minute drive, and Orlando International Airport can be reached by car in about 25 to 30 minutes.
Rooms
Clean rooms with comfortable beds and a basic, modern aesthetic
Simple wall-mounted lamps, cozy bolster pillows, and framed paintings add touches of class to rooms, but the dark wooden bed frames and bureaus show some wear and tear. The overall color scheme of browns and beiges -- from walls to bedding to carpeting -- is understated if a touch bland, and the pillow-top mattresses get high marks for comfort. All rooms have flat-screen TVs with cable channels and HBO,
free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers; some have small, extra sinks. Some
bathrooms have double sinks, and ADA-compliant rooms are available
with wheelchair-accessible showers; standard bathrooms have swirly-patterned beige wallpaper and white plastic shower/tub combos. I can't tell if the sinks come as standard -- they're visible in our photos of all rooms, but not mentioned on the website.
Features
Outdoor pool, small fitness center, and free breakfast
Galleria Palms Hotel has a simple, rectangular outdoor pool with lounge
chairs, though the surrounding parking lot limits privacy. There’s also a small fitness center with hand weights and a few cardio machines, including a treadmill. The free breakfast includes fruit
salad, scrambled eggs, biscuits with gravy, and pastries -- guests who find it repetitive have restaurant options within walking distance. Attraction tickets
can be purchased at the guest services desk, and the hotel runs a free shuttle service to various theme parks several times throughout the day and night. There are laundry facilities on-site, and Wi-Fi is free.
