The hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with a great view right on the beach, making it a solid choice for a beach getaway. The service was helpful, and the pool area was a nice spot for relaxation. However, there are some issues with the overall maintenance, as some aspects of the hotel felt dated and could use some attention. Overall, the price was reasonable for the amenities provided, but not without its drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at Garden City Inn. The location was perfect, with direct access to the beach and gorgeous oceanfront views. The staff was friendly and eager to help, which made my stay enjoyable. However, there were a few hiccups with the shower draining and the beds were firmer than I expected. Overall, it's a decent place for a beach getaway, especially for the price.

The hotel has a great beachfront location, which is definitely a plus. Unfortunately, the stay was marred by cleanliness issues and a strong mold smell in the room, which was disappointing. The air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool, and there were maintenance problems that needed urgent attention. Overall, while the beach access was wonderful, I wouldn't recommend staying here with the current state of the accommodations and service.

I had a fantastic stay at the Garden City Inn! The hotel is charming and the staff is incredibly accommodating, which made me feel right at home. The ocean views from the balcony were breathtaking and created such a serene atmosphere. However, I did encounter some challenges during an unfortunate cancellation experience, which left a sour note. Still, the overall vibe and services definitely stand out for a memorable beach escape.

The hotel offers a lovely beachfront experience with clean and comfortable rooms and stunning ocean views. The friendliness of the staff adds to the warm atmosphere, making it a great choice for a beach getaway. However, the service could use some improvement in accommodating special needs, as my experience showed some difficulties during check-in. Overall, it's a relaxing place that I would consider again for the beach access alone.
