Very Nice Hotel in an Easily Accessible Location

We stayed at the Garner Inn & Suites after a concert at the Surf Ballroom in nearby Clear Lake. It's about a 10 or 15 minute drive from Clear Lake, super easy, just down the highway. The Garner Inn is very comfortable and well appointed, actually nicer than you might expect to find in a small town. The breakfast included hot items like sausage and omelets, in addition to the expected items like a waffle machine and muffins and yogurt. Staff was very friendly.

Small hotel with close parking available. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, and the breakfast area was clean. There’s no elevator; so, if you can’t do stairs, be sure to request a ground level room.
