Property was awful, front was ok, where our roo. Was around the back was crack head central looked at our room, first of all the beds where destroyed, sheets thrown everywhere no blankets and dope baggies in the drawers along with trash, second room there was a huge hole in the bed and once again gross, you could smell the fumes of old food reeking from the non working fridge. Not to mention when walking to our second room there was a man sitting outside on the steps openly watching pornography doing his business right there for everyone to see and I had my freaking kids with me. Like really. We grabbed our stuff went back to the front and handed in all of our stuff and told them it was completely unexeptable and then called the cops as we left and told them the conditions we found all with the man with indecent exposure to my 2 you g boys. Absolutely horrible..I not only filed a report about what happened at the property but also reported them for the state of the property and all the code violations! Don't wanna give me my refund back..well have fun making money when your shut down.

The customer service rep was rude and on the phone the entire time. She interrupted me multiple times, then showed her phone with her manager on it? There were bugs and stained paper signs all over the glass stating more fees. I do not recommend this place. The people behind me said they tried to get a refund too and were denied. Gross and unsafe.

It was gross and moldy. I couldn't even stay with my kids and it left us out in the night with nowhere to stay. The lady even tried to change our room and it was even worse. She was very friendly but i am very upset at the rooms and the fact that i had to spend even more money just to make sure my kids were safe. I didn’t stay long enough to take pictures!

From the start it was bad. I’ve never had a place not let us in early if the room is available, if we come an hour early. Wanted to charge a check in early fee. Fine we wait. First room is horrible with sand all over the bed and horrible ac. We get another room with no refrigerator, blood on the toilet, mold on the books and corners of the room. Absolutely horrid. We will never book though expedia ever again knowing that they offer places like these on their website. We tried for a refund too and called but your team said they called the garden inn and garden said they weren’t going to give a refund and therefore yall won’t either, which I find very scummy. Have fun losing business when airbnb fully wipes yall out within the next decade. Absolutely trash place and horrible to be advertising it as a clean and family-friendly place.

The gentleman checking me in was wonderful. However, the room was not clean when I checked in. One of the beds was missing a pillow. The bathroom had not been cleaned. There was a towel on the door (used), and soap bars on the floor and left in the shower. The box springs were dirty. The blankets smelled. The room was also musty. If you need a room out of desperation, this is it.
