Garden City Inn

Garden City Inn

8/10 Good
"Beautiful location, clean room with ocean front view and nice decor. My only issues were that the pillows were very uncomfortable (flat), and that I never got room cleaning service in my Thursday-through-Sunday stay. When I told the staff, they gave me extra towels to replace the old ones, but they were not apologetic about it (I had put the sign "please maid service" out of the door, so there should have been no mistake). Also, the wi-fi did not work, so I had to use my cell phone to hotspot my laptop for the while stay. Aside from these issues, I think the hotel was a great value for the money."
