I stayed at Gallia last week for 6 nights for work. I am a platinum guest and was not upgraded. I received a room very much like the one with the pictures posted above. The hotel is very tired. TV is small and very poor reception. The bathroom, while large and loads of marble, is also very tired. The climate controls are a joke. The hotel is either all heated or all air conditioned. My room was way too hot. Front desk would do nothing about it. I opened the window - which is nice to be able to do, but the cable cars outside are very loud all night long. Also, they have been turning off the power during the middle of the day in preparation for the renovations.
This hotel has great potential and is in a great, historic building. However, I would avoid this hotel until the renovations are complete.
