- Hicks Jr (9/5): Relaxation At It's Best! - 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!!!
- Mark (9/5): Good stay, would recommend it. - 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.
- Green (10/5): - Location No hot tub

- Murphy (1/5): We left immediately!! - 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.

- winters (10/5): -
- Cynthia (8/5): -
- JULIE (8/5): The only negative was the folks in the next room smoked so we couldn’t sit outside our room! - 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.
- Janet (9/5): Very nice! - Right in the beach! Close to my meeting
- Donna Nic (10/5): -
- Jason (1/5): Absolutely terrible - 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 !!!!!
- Jason (5/5): Great view and that's it - 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
- Wendy (9/5): -
- Jake (7/5): Enjoyed it. Will be staying again! - 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
- Wendy (8/5): -
- Eveline (10/5): Can’t wait to book it again. - Staff was amazing!
Pool and pool area was kept clean. Not in my backyard in Kentucky 🤣
- Kim (10/5): Home away from home - 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
- Kimberly (8/5): - The room was clean and good location. They need to add free breakfast!
- WANDA (6/5): -
- Paul (10/5): -
- Jodi (8/5): - The price Beds was small
- Fun Times For Me (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- dwyer (3/5): -
- Kini (9/5): Very relaxing stay! - Our room had recently been renovated and it was great. We were in 109 on the bottom floor with the ocean just steps away.
- Dawn (7/5): Good stay in a clean room. - It was a great location. It was not a big place which is nice. Needed some new furniture
- April (8/5): Great visit!! - Friendly service and great view!! We will definitely return!!
- Yazmine (9/5): -
- Rick (9/5): - Location, facilities, staff, beach, and Pool were exceptional. The bathroom was not very clean upon arrival.
- Kelly (8/5): - Location was good for our trip. The room was clean and comfortable but could use an update. Some new flooring and general maintenance would go a long way.
- Debra (10/5): A Nice Little Getaway - The staff was very nice. My room was quiet, comfortable and clean. Having an oceanfront room made it even better! I stayed there late March. I'm sure the crowds will pick up soon after the kids get out of school for the summer! I will stay there again! The bed was a little harder than what I'm used to, but I slept well. Sometimes the AC would make weird noises, but I always take my white noise machine anytime I travel and didn't hear it at all at night.
- Brenda (10/5): Loved my stay - The location, comfortable and quiet
- Kristen (7/5): Great value for the price! - The view and location were great! The staff were very friendly. While the rooms were recently updated, there were still some things that needed attention. (ie: stained couch, bed frame was metal and did not feel stable).
- Dwight (9/5): - Location is great to all places and comfortable seating at pool and view
- Reginald (8/5): -
- Sherry (10/5): We had a one night stay, we love Garden City Inn. -
- Riegel (8/5): -
- Sara (10/5): Beautiful sunrises, quiet moments, and phenomenal memories! - I heard about this gem from a great friend of mine. Checked it out and we wanted something that faces the beach but budget friendly. We found this sweet place. It’s peaceful, wasn’t loud at all. Friendly people and most importantly Tiffany was soo helpful during our stay!! She went above and beyond to help my family feel comfortable!! We will be staying here again! I highly recommend getting a kite and flying one it was soo amazing!! We also had our outfits delivered here for our family portraits and Tiffany was so helpful in watching out for our package. I wish it wasn’t as cold and rainy during our stay but it made great memories!!
- Cathy (5/5): Not as good as expected - Location, Beach access. Bathroom tiles were very dirty. Strong oder near refrigerator.
- Donna (10/5): - Very friendly staff. Right on the beach with balcony views and nice pool. Located in between condos in a much quieter area but yet everything was close, restaurants and bars and music. The hotel had a convenient small mini mart right on the property which was nice if you needed anything. We will stay there again!
- winters (9/5): -
- Anita (8/5): -
- Brandi (10/5): Great location. Clean - Location. Nice room. Clean. Great staff. Bed was firm. ( i like soft beds) Firm bed. Small bath room

- Kevin (8/5): -
- Matthew (3/5): -
- Miller (10/5): -
- Ron (1/5): -
- Robin (8/5): Great last-minute booking at a fair price with beachfront views! - All rooms are beachfront! Wonderful to sit on our private balcony and watch the sun come up or listen to the waves. Very clean, good hot water. Liked that they staffed the front desk 24 hours as we had to leave before the sun came up! The outside was a little dated but certainly functional.
- William (9/5): - All the amenities.
- Mist1011 (7/5): - Homey, very roomy it would be great for a week to stay in. The dishes were dirty.
- Carolyn (7/5): Everyone pleasant. Small, older hotel. We enjoyed location and our stay. - Great location on the beach. Easy to get to our 2nd floor room. Parking convenient. Small hotel. Could use paint on the steps. Bathroom was small but clean. Hot water could have been warmer.
- Amanda (7/5): Good place to stay when you need a basic room for a couple days. - It was clean. Staff was okay. Price was good. I would stay again. It had been remodeled. Its just an older place without an elevator. For the value, I was happy with my stay.
- Ray (8/5): Good value, clean. - Ocean front Wanted $25.00 to check in 30 minutes early.
- Allen (8/5): -
- Brooke (4/5): Cheap and get what you pay - Ocean front Old, dirty, odd check in
- Ahmet (8/5): Overall good for the price, great view. - The view was great Not quite clean, needs renovation
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Mark (7/5): -
- danabN4413TP (2/5): Go elsewhere - For what it’s worth, there’s other options to stay.
Policy is ridiculous.
Would not recommend this hotel. Terrible customer service.
- Annie (10/5): -
- Gail (9/5): Tavar (staff) was very pleasant/ good location/ excellent price/ recently remodeled - Great location/good price/ ocean side location All was very good
- Joanne (10/5): -
- Kini (7/5): Very convenient location with plenty of on site parking. - Love the location and that is ocean front! We couldn’t get the water to stay hot in the shower . We’ve stayed there many times and have never had that problem.
- Annie (10/5): -
- Tamra (10/5): -
- MIKE (8/5): -
- Josefina (3/5): It was not a good place to stay - None it’s not what I expected the picture is way different from the original. Too small bath room is too small too No
- Phil (8/5): See above - Stayed here many times I was scheduled to stay at the Garden City Inn from a Wednesday through Friday. I had a family emergency Friday and checked out at 9 o’clock. I asked the lady at the front desk. Would it be possible to get a voucher for the night that I couldn’t stay because I could not control the emergency situation.She said she would check, I have called and asked that question again and still no reply. The hotel was not fully booked at all so I didn’t think it would be an issue. Especially when you stay at this property a lot.
- Linda (9/5): Wonderful stay - Location and cleanliness were awesome I didn't have anything I didn't like
- Debbie (8/5): -
- Cheryl (7/5): -
- Brandi (10/5): -
- Nicole (5/5): Great location and view. Friendly staff. Not sure I would stay again due to the above. - Great location. Ocean front. My first room wasn’t very clean, smelled bad, blood on the curtain, bed very uncomfortable. People in the room above me walking loudly all night and yelling the next morning.
Staff were very accommodating and moved me to another room that was cleaner, smelled nice but the toilet didn’t work.
- Catherine (9/5): Will come again and recommend to family - Balcony and ocean view Weather. Rain for 2 days. Oh well..
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Jane (8/5): -
- Traci (5/5): - The staff was nice and made sure we had whatever we needed (coffee, towels, etc). The location was great, right on the beach. The building is in need of work. Some previous repairs were obvious and appear to be cheaply done. Some kind of sewage smell came out of the shower in our room along with soapy water came out through the shower drain.
- Kevin (10/5): - Good location, friendly staff, clean room They additional charge for our dog was a surprise
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Dina (10/5): It was perfect. - Location is perfect and the best staff EVER! Never a friendlier staff I have encountered.
- Lela (8/5): -
