TV did not work, floor was dirty and bed was very uncomfortable. If you need a place thats cheap and just for a night, it'll do, but would avoid unless you have no other options.

Broken things like no ice, no plug for the bath tub, not enough electric outlets. The sink was dirty, the floor needed swept. The bedding was clean. The electric plugs kept falling out of the sockets. The gentleman who checked us in and out was very friendly once he verified who we were. The price was definitely right, it was quiet. We really liked our room's location but it was difficult for my handicapped friend to walk up the stairs (my fault for not requesting handicap-accessible room). The water temperature was definitely affected by others turning on/off their water which made showering an adventure. I would stay there again.

The room accommodated our needs. Plenty of hot water, A/c-Heat worked great and the fridge worked great. The refrigerator, microwave and A/C were unplugged so we had to wait for the fridge to cool. I was not aware the room was for smoker's and the odor was very pungent. Housekeeping was attentive and eager to please. While searching for my grandson's lost marker lid we found a few treasures left from prior visitors including a bag of D&D dice behind the bed, a wrapped oatmeal creme pie behind the other bed and an empty tuna fish can under the tv stand! Not complaining just suggesting that housekeeping steps it up a notch when prepping for the next visitor. As long as your tetanus shots are up to date, you're not sensitive to cigarette smoke, you enjoy a very firm mattress, and you have good knees for climbing the stairs you'll be fine! Enjoy your stay at Gardos Motel!
