Garden City Inn

Great location & staff just wish it had elevators & easier Access to the pool!

Had a wonderful trip. Would recommend

???

Easy beach access Rooms and furniture need updated

Great location! Great staff! Clean and comfortable rooms!

Pleasant

I loved the location and the view!! Everything was good. The lady that checked us in on the first day was kinda rude, but everyone else was extremely nice!!

Being right there at the beach Mold in the bathroom

The room was horrible. Please don’t spend your money here. The first room the sink didn’t drain and It stunk. The staff moved us to another room and It constantly sweat the entire time. The floor and walls were always wet It looked like your room we as sauna and this would be every morning when we wake up and in the evenings when we got back to the room. For the price that’s ridiculous they do not allow refunds. If I could go back I would have spent more money to stay somewhere else. We considered sleeping in our car. This was by far the most disgusting place we have ever stayed the pictures look nice but are deceiving. The staff did their job so I can’t fault them, the location was good but very hard to enjoy due to the quality of the “hotel”

View Steps from hell. No elevator 4th floor. Disabled. Hot as hell in room.

Stay Away. DONT GO. Sucks

Everything was good. Definitely will be coming back

Good location Rooms were not as clean I would have liked for the price. Toilet seat kept falling off. Bath fan did not vent good so when taking a shower it steamed up the whole room and was muggy.

Room stayed damp/wet our entire stay. We thought they had just mopped the room right before we checked in, but it stayed wet the entire weekend. Balcony and pool were nice and convenient location.

While the facility could use some updating including the stuff in the rooms, dents on bed frames, paint chipped etc, we always love the no frills stay and having easy beachside access.

Location was amazing

Views. Extremely dirty. Everything was stained. The curtain stained, walls stained, bed and sheets stained, shower curtain stained. Chairs outside were stained. Bugs crawling on floor. Used coffee left in the dispenser. Bed was very firm, pillows too soft. Woke up in neck pain throughout the night. Bathroom smelled like a portal potty. Would not recommend.

The staff, location, and process were perfect.

Arrived early and were able to check in with a small additional fee. We also received a room upgrade at no additional cost. The staff was friendly and we are looking forward to staying there again.

Called the property prior to booking about trailer parking. I was told I could park my trailer in the lot but upon arrival I was instantly told that I couldn't have a trailer there. I spoke to the lady at the desk and she basically told me that I was never told that. Anyways other than that its a nice place just poor communication during the booking.

Really enjoyed how quiet and comfortable the room was!! The staff was very attentive and the access to the beach was great!!! Not to fond of being on the ground floor where people could walk by and look into my room!! Love and upper floor with the private balcony!!!

good stay until the plumping backed up into all the rooms on the bottom floor. great it happened on our last night there. everyone on the bottom floor was mad

The room was clean and it has a walk in shower in the bathroom. They had a rubber mat for the shower which was good for safety. They had a refrigerator with a freezer not a mini fridge. All rooms look out on the beautiful pool and ocean with a balcony.The price was reasonable. We enjoyed our stay and will stay here again.

Location No hot tub

Location was good. Really enjoyed the beach view, for the most part it was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again. Shower either needed to repaired or had mold in the corners of it. Shower pressure was good though.

Nice location and pet friendly. Very helpful staff.

We have stayed at this location for 6 plus years and love it! It’s oceanfront, and very easy access to the beach Rooms could use a dehumidifier, they use to have them here..

All rooms are oceanfront views. We were on 2nd floor. Perfect view of Garden City Beach. Sat in the loungers at pool facing ocean and walked in ocean a few feet away. Bed was comfortable. Lots of pillows. Water pressure in bathroom was excellent. Shower was wonderful. Lots of towels, but only give you one hand towel per room. Odd. Room was cleaned every day. Floor was a little sandy when we got in room and contined to be that way throughout stay and had to wipe bottom of feet everytime we got in bed. No biggie! They do have a washer and dryer on 1st floor. Our room had a microwave, coffee maker, and regular size fridge. Big Location is perfect, close to Highway 17 where everything to eat and do is located. Just minutes to Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach. Price was affordable, but it is middle of May before the summer crowd. Loved our stay at this classic beach motel. Just what I was expecting. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, right on the beach. Rooms were very clean and staff very nice and helpful.

Superb

Our stay was overall was great. The only improvement I could suggest would be improvement on the WiFi. It would constantly go in and out. We had to end up linking the smart tv to our mobile hotspot to be able to watch tv.

We enjoyed out stay here. We had an ocean view room, which was so relaxing. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. Great place to stay!

Superb

The husband and I came up there for weekend. They stay was great! We was on the beach! No dunes no board walk to go down! We rate this property as a 10! Not a whole lot rooms but it worked just for us two. It has a nice size pool and the grilling area was just big enough. The price was great as well!

The staff was friendly. The rooms and property clean. The pool deck was large and well maintained. Beds comfortable. We will be back. !!

Room was not completed with repairs. Broken sink faucet, painters tape left on ceiling and a razor know found under the furniture

Nice location and large room Room was not completed with repairs. Broken sink faucet, painters tape left on ceiling and a razor know found under the furniture

This was a nice clean room , but it needed more lighting and we had trouble cutting on the shower.

Bad

Staff was top notch. Room was older but bathrooms were updated. The bed was comfortable. I'd stay here again. Best endorsement I can give.

Located right on the beach, every room Has ocean view No complaints. Not a fancy stay but comfortable and clean

Location. Beach front. Pool. Cost friendly. No soap at kitchen sink. Near the sliding glass doors was a strong animal urine odor. Pull out couch was dirty and sandy.

Loved being right on the beach. It would be nice to have a mirror and a sink outside of the bathroom.

The location. The room was dirty. There was hair in both of our beds. The other room offered the bath room was filthy. The night attendant told me they have had issues with house keeping. We left! Garden City Inn and Booking.com refuse to even give me a particle refund.

No breakfast

Being right on the beach No breakfast

It is not a hotel for two handicap people who had declined to the third floor. We had to wait over 10 minutes for a tenant to come to the front desk to check in.

Very good

Well worth the money

Clerk was not welcoming or personable at check-in at all. When asked for recommendations for dinner, he gave minimum answer with no directions or specifications. Television in room was inoperable. No volume and remote had no way to adjust. Housekeeping staff was very friendly. We had called ahead to state we were travelling with an elderly dog. The room we were assigned was situated on the third floor (no elevator) which was not convenient to addressing our pet's needs during our stay. Minimal pet comfort area. It's a shame as this property could be reconfigured as a unique retro boutique hotel with a little upgrade and investment. All rooms overlook the beach.

The room and amenities were perfect for all our needs. The staff was very helpful and kind. A lovely comfy place to stay.

Passable

The hotel has no elevators when you want it you have to walk for or fly the stairs to get to your room with your suitcases horrible front desk nasty won't give you any help terrible place don't go there

Superb

Nice place with beach view and pool

You could not ask for a better location as far as walking out front to the beach! Pool was nice! Staff were super friendly! Only negative thing I could say would be the outside of the building it's self could use some love.. new paint , new locking system maybe! But all employees seemed to be keeping the grounds pretty clean.

Nice balcony Room smelled musty. Floors felt sticky. Tub had mold and sink had trouble draining. No elevator with 4 floors.

Access to the beach was great. I did smell pot! Did not care for that

I have stayed here last year and that room was clean. I stayed this year and stayed in room 301 which wasn’t that clean. The toilet flap was broke and the toilet bowl wasn’t that clean and the shower had black hair in the drain. Has a great balcony view though and The Salty Pickle is the next building over for some great food and a bar. I would stay again even though this trip wasn’t as clean as before.

Our favorite place. Very consistent from one year to the next.

Our room was overlooking the beach with a great view of the beach and the beautiful sunrises! The staff was very accomodating!!

The room was nice and big and very clean. The best was that is is right on the beach! The bath towels were very small and like sandpaper.

We very much enjoyed looking out at the ocean from our room. And we were able to practically walk straight out onto the beach from our room.

Right in the beach! Close to my meeting

The staff was great except for one who was rude the entire stay. Because my flight was late at night I ask if my luggage could be held at the front desk so I could enjoy my last day on the beach. I was told this was no problem. The following day at my check out I was told no by the extremely rude employee which put me in a bad situation with no back up plan.

Location was ideal Linens and bed covers were dirty upon arrival and asked for them to be changed. The floor was dirty and sandy. I cleaned the top of the refrigerator while rhe staff changed the bed cover. Very loud, you could hear everything including the dumpster pickup every morning at 355am

NOTHING We took 2 vehicles and on the website it said free parking even without a reservation which we had . The lady at the front desk was so very rude and ugly and told us they would have our other vehicle towed if we did not move it and I asked where would be a good place as she told me it was not her job to tell me where we could park . So we ended up leaving early and only stayed 1 night because the next day the were still talking junk as we would walk by ……..worst experience ever do NOT STAY HERE !!!!!

Staff was amazing and helpful.

Room overlooked the beach, it was clean for the most part, not all outlets worked, pool was very clear, seating was comfortable

Love the location. With the balconies over looking the pool and ocean Only dislike about the place is if you stay on the upper floors there is no elevator. Other than that it was a great location

Friendly staff. Comfy bed.

Staff was amazing! Pool and pool area was kept clean. Not in my backyard in Kentucky ?

Ocean front balcony and pool deck, easy beach access, comfortable beds/bedding, great water pressure in shower, friendly/helpful staff, walking distance to pier and shops

They need to add free breakfast!

Beds was small

Super friendly staff, older building but very clean, a stones throw from the beach. Pool area very clean and set up nicely. Great area to grill and relax under the cabana. Overall, will return with no hesitation.

Clean...very clean room.

Nothing

Would definitely return in the future.

I am astounded at the rudeness of the staff. I called days before our trip and added the pet deposit. Their website says pet friendly. When we checked in, they placed us in a room that doesn't allow pets. They then said we had to "get rid" of our pet in order to stay there. The desk attendant was on the phone with another person who was very loudly saying that it wasn't their problem, it was mine. So incredibly rude and uncalled for in a hospitality industry. We were told we had 30 minutes to leave or get rid of the pets. After driving 6 hours to be there and paying a pet fee in advance, none of this was acceptable. So we left the "pet frendly" hotel and found somewhere else to stay.

Amazing ocean front location.

Even though the property was recently updated (2022), you can still see some evidence of it being an older property. Regardless, the view was perfect and the staff was very polite and accommodating.

I was ground floor and had a glass door to the pool deck with a great view of the ocean!

Nice staff

Small room but adequate since we simply plan to sleep there. Good oceanfront view and a location with access to many of our favorite sites

It was a quick overnight trip for us. Convenient and well priced for our purposes.

Yes

The space was very clean, they left plenty of towels and wash clothes, the laundry was easy accessible and $1 for wash $1 for dryer. The views were glorious. If you have hard time walking up stairs there’s no elevator. This is my new home whenever I’m in town. It’s small quaint and cute.

Renovated clean older hotel but in great condition staff friendly close to Murrells inlet and Myrtle beach can't beat the price

Garden city Inn was a great place to stay being right on the beach. Convenient to other amenities. Staff was courteous and helpful. Had a great time discovering the area.

the beach no matter what room you had.

Super location, view and staff will definitely stay again ive extended my stay twice since I've been here

The room was clean, the staff was friendly. The only bad thing is there's no elevator. I did not realize this until I checked in, and they had no open rooms on the bottom floor, and was put on the third floor and with my health issues I couldn't enjoy going in and out to go to the beach as I would have liked to.

We did not get the warm fuzzies when checking in. The "lobby" is just a small room with no decoration, staff member was not outgoing or friendly. I was aware that there was no elevator, but the outside concrete steps on a cold rainy afternoon were not fun. Room was just ok. No toilet paper holder so we went old school and had to sit the toilet paper on the bathroom sink. The back cover was missing on the door lock which made it look run down. The $14 "resort" fee we were charged was funny. "Resort"??? The room rate was low, so I guess you get what you pay for.

I have stayed here before, and I knew the place was run down, but it was clean. This time it wasn't clean, sheets and blankets were stained, and the internet was in and out all weekend. I stayed on the top floor, and there are no elevators. Staff was preoccupied talking and joking with each other instead of checking me in promptly. The only perk was the ocean view.

Booked a balcony but got ground level by the pool. Staff was VERY sketchy we didn’t feel comfortable leaving personal belongings in the room while we left for the day. Felt like we were being watched!! Beds were on some kind of metal frame that moved and were very loud. Tried the pull out bed but that was rusted and chipping and the sheets were dirty and had rust all over them.

Staff was very nice. Room was clean, floors were not mopped. Beds firm but ok. Beautiful view. We were on 4th floor and NO elevator. That was a little difficult with bad knees but we made it through. Great location.

This place has a great price and is very clean. It’s right on the beach! Realize it is older and may not have the pizzaz of a new built hotel/condo.

The front desk guy was really nice. The room was just OK. The beds were awful like you couldn’t even roll over without it making a horrible scraping noise on the floor. There was also a stain on one of our beds. The bathroom was clean and the room was a good size. We tried to check in early but they said they charged a $25 fee which was never unheard of from me so we wasted time so we didn’t have to pay the fee overall great place would stay here again.

We thought this property was a great choice in this price range. It looked as if it had been newly renovated and was clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We have no complaints except that we do wish there was free breakfast offered, but the lower price did compensate for this. We would stay here again and would rate this 4 1/2 stars.

Love the nostalgia of the old motel! We did encounter countless issues with our keycard not working. The room was very clean with perfect oceanfront views! The beds were rather hard and could definitely use a mattress topper. The tv remote was quirky having to press several different keys to get the channels to display. Needed instructions since not provided in room. The room door had a large gap when closed allowing cold air to stream into the room. Majority of staff were really nice and helpful! If I bring a mattress topper, I would definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed a very clean room with an awesome shower. The balcony view of the beach was exactly what we hoped it would be. Direct access to the beach, a nice pool, with lounge chairs. A couple bbq grills and a covered area to retreat from the sun while taking in the ocean. All staff were friendly and accommodating. Most bang for the buck!

Cleanr room. The staff and the maid service was perfect. This was our second time. Nothing compares to sitting on the balcony and being so close to the ocean. Would be back again. Thanks Garden City!

Did not use pool

Awesome

Clean rooms, ocean view

Friendly staff. Ease of getting to pool and beach. Didn’t like ice machine on second floor; no elevator. Not convenient for older adults.

This hotel is fabulous! The staff was very friendly/clean rooms/outside area was clean/pool was cleaned every morning ! We had a wonderful trip!Would most certainly recommend to every one!

Bathroom faucet splashed water when facing it. The television was a problem getting it to turn on without un plugging it and putting the plug in. Don't know what cable provider they had but it was terrible. It wouldn't show the info of the channels.

All the rooms are oceanfront. Easy beach access. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurants and shops close by. My third stay and they have all been great.

My bigest and only real issue is the WiFi it is absolutely unusable, othe guest said the same. They need a serios equipment and link upgrade to be usable. The have consumer grade equipment and what appears to bea home user or very low capacity internet link. If ypu want to stay here do not count on having WIFI internet.

Love the large patio and view of the ocean and beach

Ocean view room with a balcony to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach. Friendly staff!

Our view from the balcony was amazing. Over looked the pool and beach

We’d stay here again.

The property is old. Has been updated. But still needs more. Maid service never made both beds. Only one. Had to get coffee cups and toilet paper. No instructions on how to operate tv. Needs smart tvs added. Bathroom shower redone. But shower head and faucet just stuck in wall. Our beds were comfortable.

Liked-Oceanfront, full-size fridge. Disliked bed and pillows were uncomfortable.

Very nice room with a view, clean towels from friendly staff. Room spacesous and comfortable. I have a dog and love dogs but wasn't thrilled with the early morning barking. But would stay there again

Kept. Convenient with beach front and pool

Not the best front desk service. They charge a “resort fee” when you show up (after you’ve paid the full price). Very slow and received a finger from the attendant telling me to wait as he answered the phone to book someone for about 10 minutes after I had been waiting in line behind another group for 10 minutes. Overall, good experience. Just some slightly unimpressive customer service.

The only thing I didn't like was the floor was dirty. Also, the TV did not work the first night and had to wait until morning for someone to fix

nice location, great access to beach, our room was not we expected it was a dump not clean no elevator, you have carry every up stairs does not good at all I checked out two days early the site said it had been reviewed great but it not at all! I look some else stay!

Nice that it was oceanfront. It is an older property and it looks like they try to keep as clean as best as they can. There was (dog?) poop outside of our door two mornings. Most likely will never stay here again.

Super clean! Great lobby service at check-in!

Check-in staff was NOT friendly. She did not share times the pool was open, where to get ice, or the fact that there was NO ELEVATOR and we were in the 4th floor!! The room was fine. Beds were comfortable & shower was decent. AC worked well. Location is excellent. But, the ice machine did not work the ENTIRE time we were there in a July heat wave. There was a cockroach in the pool area & on our balcony the last night. And someone let their dog poop on the second story landing & did not clean it up the day we were checking out. I DO NOT recommend this motel at all, unless you have absolutely no other options.

The good points: We could open the sliding glass doors directly to the pool and the ocean front. That was the main advantage to this hotel. Restaurants were convenient by car as well. The mattresses were very good. Even at peak season I felt the price point was high for the size and comfort level of this establishment. $25-$50 less would have been closer. Would I go back? Maybe, maybe not. In off season, I would try for something nicer.

2nd. The view and distance from the beach is perfect!. 3rd. This is not best hotel BUT, for the price and experience of the beach and again the STAFF , it is great. Some are to critical to judge rooms with minor issues. Be fair in the judgement and welcome yourself to a nice quiet small hotel with a great view and waterfront. We will be back..

We enjoyed our stay however the 2nd floor has nor been renovated which we thought thought the entire Inn had been renovated. Loved the Ocean front view.

Great location. Check in was slow. For tye money you cant beat it.

While the property itself is fairly aged and no amount of paint can hide that, overall it is still a very comfortable stay for us. Having direct access to the beach AND literally walk out the door to the pool was a big plus. The one of the biggest drawback is simply how loud the AC unit was, specially if you keep it running through the night to keep the humidty down. I think had they opt'd to replace all the units with mini-split when it was renovated, they would've gotten better energy efficiency in the long run and also offers guests a better experience.

An older hotel, however, great location, great service both frontdesk and staff. I would recommend.

Had to switch air conditioning unit out twice due to quit working room floor not so clean and you can tell it’s an older hotel that they just repainted the walls and done a few other things and call it a newly renovation you be your own judge but personally I wouldn’t stay here again due to it being older

Did not get the room we paid for but at least had a room. Hotel was old and not very clean Would not stay again

The resort was a perfect getaway.

LIKE Mini Mart beside Hotel

Employees were nice. But room was outdated. They charged us $25 early check in fee, for 2 hours early. Also charged a resort fee on top of posted Hotels.com price which was supposed to include all fees. Worst part? We were only there for one night, air was set on 69, room stayed 81 the WHOLE night. Must be hotel controlled. Lastly, we woke up with either sand mite, flea, or bed bug bites. Had to stop for benedryl on our travel home, because of the bites. Will never return. The good reviews are why we booked, but none of them were true based on our experience. Also, there is no elevator! Be prepared to carry everything up stairs!

Liked it because it is right on the beach.

I love the location. Did not like the uncleanliness.

We loved it until it started raining and our room flooded ( bottom floor ) they did move us and that room started doing the same so we opted to just come home. They did refund the nights we didnt stay since it wasnt our fault.

Amazing views with very friendly staff. They did everything to make our vacation easy. Very clean room with excellent service.

There were several nats in the room. Good place to stay for a quick beach trip, convenient to most places.

Great location staff is very nice! The location is family friendly! Not over crowded like most places either. All of the staff were nice. It’s not a new modern hotel. But it’s still great place right on the beach!

Great access to the beach, nice patio area and friendly service.

Easy check-in. Classic beach hotel without all the frills. Reminded me of my childhood beach trips. Beach was perfect. Other vacationers were perfect. No chaos. No obnoxious music. Everyone was respectful. Will return. Thank you for a great quick trip!

Ground floor room, pool right outside your door, with small table & chairs, 5 steps down from pool your on the beach! Upper 3 floors had balconies. Being a smaller hotel service was great, you were not just a number. Nothing fancy, but clean. Most rooms have a very small kitchen. Great location, very close to murrels inlet. Best part was we decided to stay another night ( first 2 nights rained out) so Tina at the front desk did some moving around for us, so we didn’t have to change rooms! We will be back!

First time visiting Garden City and we chose this Inn because we were traveling with our pet.

This is a good place to stay if you do not have much money to spend or you've waited till the last minute to reserve. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was incredible. We had quiet evenings and the pool was clean and quiet. The view could not be better overlooking the ocean. There is a small store on the property that was a plus. There was a comment in a review that mentioned smoke from balconies being a nuisance. We only smelled someone smoking the first day and after they left we didn't smell smoking after that. A life guard is stationed on beach in front of Garden City Inn. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of age and lack of higher level interior finishes.

Smelled, gnats in the sink, no elevators, guest service was way to secure as in asking for ID and other.....i had to guve my license to her 3x and askedbif my Dad was with me and the response was no each time. Rude

Loved that it's pet friendly and oceanfront but it needs better upkeep. My dog is completely house broken but it's obvious a lot aren't. Wall edges are chewed up and paint peeling where dogs have been peeing on everything. Room 201 has a non stop ticking noise coming from the electrical outlet between the beds that's broken and the bathroom sink is very slow draining as well as the vent fan needs cleaning out. On a positive note the location is great and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

I liked that it was on the beach

Good little, clean, close to everything

Best place to stay in garden city!!

Not the most fancy place, but a clean comfortable hotel with a pool and step down to the ocean! Plus a kitchenette!!! Perfect to make your own meals and enjoy outside around the pool! Very friendly staff!

It's an older motel, but they keep it up every year. All rooms are oceanfront and it has a little store at the corner of the building. Pet friendly and family friendly. Price is VERY reasonable! Only drawback is it's 4 floors with no elevator. I found out that if you get a suite, those are in the ground floor-fyi

Dump. Needs a total renovation. Cracked dirty floors, moldy shower, TV didn’t work, dirty AC unit. The only nice thing was the view and the showers water pressure.

We are very happy to have discovered this property, and will most definitely return. Staff are highly professional and accommodating. Private balconies face the ocean. Rooms and property very clean. Nice pool deck and the beach is walkable in both directions. Close to everything in Murrell's Inlet, Garden City, and Surfside. Good, safe distance from Myrtle Beach.

I paid for thee efficiency unit. And they're only on the bottom floor since my husband had 2 back surgeries, they have no elevator so it was yeah. Daisier, I knew I was bringing my dog and told me I couldn't have one after I paid for it because I had my dog sent me to the 3rd floor no elevator. And come to find out, my dog is 10 pounds. And they were a German Shepherd and a big book bird. Dog on the bottom floor so I don't know whether they just gave my room away. But I was not happy, will not stay again

Nice place to stay. Ocean view is fabulous!

Older hotel that had been renovated. My room was clean and spacious and nicely decorated. The mini mart connected to the hotel and a good selection and priced reasonably.

I didn’t like the smokers that smoked on the premises. Couldn’t sit on balcony without someone smoking around you.

It was a excellent place

This was our first time at Garden City Inn and we will be back. It was quiet, the room was comfortable and the darkest room ever for sleeping. Staff was friendly. It was right on the beach!

Thank you Expedia

Every thing was really clean. The staff was super. The only complaint, a minor, is the mattress was too hard. Other than that, this is a super nice remodel hotel.

The location is the absolutely best part of this hotel!!! High recommend!!! First floors are the best rooms to stay in. They have mini kitchens with good size fridge. We went grocery shopping and bought essentials and everything fit well. Would recommend getting paper plates and silverware and paper towel. Kitchen supplies are limited. A toaster and a spatula would be nice to have in the kitchen. The cons are the housekeeping. We only received service twice. Needed to keep getting towels and tp ourselves. Internet was sketchy. Sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. I will go back again though based on location. Loved Lunchbox and Princetina. They were very helpful and kind. Excellent employees.

This was a great place to spend a few days. Ocean view and nicely equipped. We hope to return in the future

No elevator is my only complaint

We had a great time and will be back

Location. Beach front.

The actually property itself was amazing, it was right by the beach, a store was in the parking lot, it was great in theory. However the manager of the property is SO rude and has a terrible attitude. The new towels we received weren’t clean, and we never saw or noticed room service come around or in our room until the third day there. She was very inconsiderate to us I’m assuming because we were younger than the other guests that we passed by staying there. However all of the desk workers were so nice and amazing!

This was my second stay here at Garden City Inn, and I would book again! The concierge was amazing and extremely helpful for a quick check in. Only thing is locals have to pay $150 in cash as a deposit, which I was not aware of so beware of that! Otherwise, great beach front property!

Great view

Great price. Perfect location right on the beach.

The room was large and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and the price was very reasonable for an oceanfront motel. I would definitely stay there again.

On the ocean,rooms are clean. Motel well maintained. Enjoyed overnite visit

Thanks

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Building is old, but clean and well cared for. Beach access from our room was AWESOME! Will definitely be back!

Location

Close to beach

They have very friendly staff

Very good and definitely will come back

The employees took pride in their work !

It was a very nice hotel. Hotel room face ocean. There is 3 floors and FYI no elevator which was ok for us. The first floor has the sliding doors going to the pool area and a patio area looked nice we were there in February and the weather was cool. Beach was at your front door and room was clean.

Great place for the price.

THE VIEW WAS BEAUTIFUL AND IT WAS CLEAN

Close to beach. Shower head was poor.

At night the bed bugs come out

We had beachfront walkout, kitchen, and pool for off-seaon rates. Could not have asked for anthing more. Watch the tides roll in and out from the co.firt of the room, listen to the waves, and walk the beach to your heats content.

Staff is very friendly and Inn is located right on the ocean. Plenty to do and places to eat. Great time!!

Was a very nice stay

Great staff and view

After not knowing the area and arriving blind, we were extremely pleased by the southern hospitality of the staff and the 1st floor room overlooking the pool and beach! Affordable rooms. We will definitely be back!!

Great stay. Prices are a little pricey and scattered high and low. Overall fair

Much nicer than I was expecting for the price. Was right on the beach. Room service everyday. Shower was hot and pressure was great Friendly staff. Totally will stay again and recommend

Over all great place to stay

Great value. Older property, directly on the sand & beach. Nothing fancy & gets the job done.

Parking lot was sheet of ice. Towels had gross stains on them. Couch bed was rusty and so uncomfortable. Beds were hard as a rock. Outdated. You get what you pay for.

There was, however, a fulkl kitchen in the room! This was a very nice touch.

Stay was well worth what we paid. Several minor issues that were resolved.

Great place, friendly people. And to top it off, #205 is haunted by a prankster ghost!

Thevroom was clean and updated. The beds were comfortable & clean. The room & bathroom were a good size. Loved being by the pool and ocean

Basic, but better option than pricer hotels in the area.
