Garlands was a nice property. Our room was clean besides a used soap bar that was left in our bathroom. Liked that it was a secure location once granted access, but a little hard to find when arriving.

We felt we lucked out staying at the Garland's Del Rio. It has a boutique hotel vibe, with helpful, friendly staff. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance to great restaurants and the beach. The pool area is a bit dated, but nice, and you're also given the option to use the rooftop pool of their sister hotel, just up the road. We'd stay here again!

The hotel is lovely, full of artsy character and charm. Loved staying here versus the antiseptic and impersonal beach-front hotels. The staff was very helpful and extremely friendly, and the amenities are good, rustic and quaint. If you’re looking for a simple, refined and artistic place to stay; highly recommend. The neighborhood is quiet enough, safe and walkable. Great location.
