Garden Inn

Staff were nice. Hot water was difficult to obtain and the fridge door kept opening. The toilet seat and shower curtains need to be changed. The area is quiet and everyone I met was sociable.

Efficent and attentive.

The 3 day stay was nice. There was one issue with the heater not working and once i notified the front desk they privided me with the vacant room next door and there were no other issues after that. Check out went smooth and i was given my deposit back immediately.

Handicap room originally put in was fairly small and shower wasn’t great due to slippery floor and vent fan not working that caused more humidity in room, but staff was kind enough to switch our room to a larger room for last night there that was much better.

I recently stayed at the Country Garden Inn, and while the rooms are a bit outdated, my experience was made so much better by the incredibly kind and genuine staff. The lady with glasses at the front desk i cant belive i forgot her name im sorry but was the sweetest she really listened to my accommodations and made sure I was comfortable. Anytime I needed towels, the staff was quick to bring them, which I really appreciated. The room itself was fine nothing fancy, but it was clean and good enough for a short stay. The only downside is that the surrounding area seemed a little unsafe from what I observed, though nothing major happened during my time there. Overall, if you're looking for a place with warm hospitality and great service, this is a solid option.

Quiet room and peaceful night sleep

They were very accommodating in the room that was given as I had enormous luggage I had to bring. My room was very clean , the bedding was very clean and the bed itself was very comfortable. I felt safe here and the property is entirely secured by cameras. It’s an older nostalgic property undergoing a renovation. You can see how much time and hard work has already been put into it. The staff were so very kind and accommodating. The price was right for my needs. It takes time to make things happen so if you can appreciate the great qualities of the staff who work so hard to fulfill their duties then I would hope you would give this hotel some consideration .

This is a older Truck Stop Area, there are many homeless people in the area. The room was mostly clean, found some empty grocery bags in the dresser drawer and there was mud or something on the wall behind the bathroom door. There is a closet/cupboard that blocks part of the bathroom doorway-Maybe they could cut a section off the back of it to snug it up against the wall more. The Continental Breakfast had day old bagels and no fruit was offered, but the waffle maker was a hit.

Middle of the road

It was fine. Nothing bad, nothing great. Served our needs for a place to sleep before flying out the next morning. Room was clean. Smelled stale. Not sure if the AC worked out not. It wouldn't turn on when I tried, but at one point in the morning it turned on. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and welcoming.

Lip stick on a pig

The check in was great, the guy at the desk was fast and courteous. The issue is the hotel itself. This place needs a upgrade it's dated and you can tell were patch jobs were done, it's like they started to fix it up but ran out of money and left it as is. Price was ok at 430.00 for the F1 weekend and location is good as well as proximity to track. Check out day was a pain in the ass as I had staff knocking on the door at 10am even though check out was at 11. The staff made it seem like we were never going to leave, I even called front desk to advise we were leaving as scheduled but they still sent the maid and some Indian guy to bang on the door. Now thanx to the poor remodel at that place, I cut my finger on the security lock hardware on the door which was broken and sharp. I will now have to go get a tetanus shot thank to that and their staff that kept banging on the door day of check out

4/6 towels had stains on them. Not something I wanted to dry my face on. Door bolt broken. The pool had a green hue to it like it should give me super powers if I dived in. This place has potential to be extremely value for money, just needs a bit of TLC. You get what you pay for.
