Garlic Farm Inn

Store

Nothing

Filthy, dated rooms

I wouldn't recommend this place to families.... Looks like a trucker stop... Rooms are above, and you had to go to the shell station to check int.

Ghetto

Awful, box spring and mattress on floor. Smelled OLD and gross. Towels rough like sandpaper. Checking in was a nightmare, not a motel. Truck stop and Shell gas station. Felt unsafe and did not stay. Did not want to become a Dateline news story. Found out from locals it is "a trucker brothel". Explains a lot. Did not speak to anyone after 30 min check-in, I just left after viewing and smelling room. Knew I wouldn't sleep a wink.

The bathroom was (somewhat) clean. The location was relatively close to where I needed to travel. Mini Fridge was clean and the microwave was also clean, but I didn't end up using either. There is literally nothing else worth mentioning that's "good". This was probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. At least the staff was apologetic. I know they're probably trying.

Where to start? My original room was taken over by a homeless person, so the staff had to change my room. My new room was still dirty and derelict. The carpet looked like it had never been steam cleaned and I didn't trust the bed so I slept on top of the comforter and used my jacket as a pillow. At least the bathroom was kind of clean. I was never given a wifi password, and the Roku wasn't even connected to any network, so that didn't work. The furniture was all beat up and there was a hole in the wall where the doorknob broke through. There was a mini fridge and a microwave, but I didn't end up using them. I didn't feel safe there. I was asked by a stranger if I saw anyone leaving a room, and I said no and went on my way. Later in the night after I had gone to bed the someone in an adjacent room got into a fight with someone in her room and they kept yelling at each other and throwing stuff around until much later in the night. Earlier that evening someone even tried to get into my room with a key card, which led me to believe that the staff DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ROOMS WERE TAKEN OR NOT. This was despite the fact that they had a computer to track reservations. I made sure to barricade my door with some furniture at night just in case the deadbolt somehow failed. There are also rats running around in the bushes near the walkways on the lower floor, but but being that I was raised near a major city, I was used to seeing such things. The sun never sets on the rat empire. I've stayed in 2-star motels, camped in cabins, and even slept in my car at a rest stop. All of those options were cleaner and safer than this place. I should have stayed at the Hampton Inn that was right down the street. You get what you pay for, but I still feel ripped off. The only solace I'm taking from this is that writing about my experience here will probably save someone's life! DO NOT STAY HERE!

Kind of a scary hotel if you travel by yourself

Nothing

Everything people smoking crystal meth in front of u standing outside their doors like if it were cigarettes I had my kid with me and she was witnessing that disgusting behavior the toilet didn't flush stains on the bed the door was about to break hard to enter using the key the front desk didn't know english and told me they gave my room to someone else and they were completely booked when they had all room available. Also I felt like I was being watched and I feel I am right.

It was located vary conveniently off US101, which was my main route of travel. It's above a gas station/convenience store, so getting ready for my next day's activities was easy. Staff was able to do an early check-in (key only) to accommodate my late-night schedule. Good value for the money.

The AC (I used the heater portion) didn't seem very effective. Someone had taken the power strip previously, so the TV could not be used.

Air conditioning was broken and the water pump you can hear it through the wall it was terrible

The noise
