Rude and unprofessional guest services. The room we got was in a horrible condition; the bath tub was constantly flowing, there were toothpaste spots in the sink, hairs on the bathroom tiles, no bed comforter... Our room even got flooded during the night and they refused to give us any sort of compensation whatsoever. DO NOT recommand this hotel!!!

In major need of an overhaul!
This hotel is in need of a MAJOR renovation. Or just knock it down and start all over. The walls are crumbling, the toilets and faucets run constantly, bed linens had cigarette burns and stains, no phone in the room to call the front desk, everything is falling apart. With all that being said, my room did feel clean. It's just in really bad shape. The front desk staff were a joy to deal with however.

The property is a mess from the inside to the outside. The pool isn’t open on the weekend, which sucks. The hotel rooms smell like cigarettes and the rooms are unsanitary. Locks didn’t work properly, whater stains everywhere, weird stains on the sheets, and the toilet didn’t have a seat. The employees were very nice and understanding but the hotel itself was a big unsatisfactory and unsanitary mess. This hotel need some serious remodeling if it wants to stay in business.

Don’t stay here
My room was cancelled when I got there to check in after driving hours to get there. I had to argue for a room and for five people got one bed so some of us had to sleep on the floor. We couldn’t even get extra pillows. The nine smoking section reeked of cigarettes anyway. No fridge in room, toilet didn’t flush, I was extremely disappointed but was happy we literally only had to sleep there and leave 😡

I stayed here because it was close to my daughters’s dance competition venue..After walking in to a smelly lobby, I was given a room key only to walk into an already occupied room..I went to front desk and the girl didn’t really seemed phased, we get handed another room, the room smelled awful, and the bathroom was disgusting, I luckily brought cleaning supplies and I cleaned the dirty tub...after a few hours a received a call that my room was cancelled..in which I answered that I was already checked in. And the girl said “oh, my bad” Overall I’d never stay here again! It was gross!

I liked that our room had a balcony, although there was no screen door and the glass door was off its tracks which made opening and closing a little difficult. Speaking of doors, the bathroom door was kind of broken. The comforters had cigarette burns, and the bath towels had stains/hair. I found someone's leftover trash under the bed. The beds were fine and the lamps worked. The room is pretty spacious and did not smell as bad as I was expecting (for being a smoke room).

The hotel itself had an off smell the left side of the elevator is the only one that works, when I got into my room the tub was stained yellow with black holes in it. The knob part of the shower was falling off and the faucet was leaning off of the wall. The tv kept freaking out which made it almost impossible to watch. I was just utterly disappointed and if I had the chance I would definitely choose against this hotel.

This place was just not well cared for. Dirty. Bath could not be fully turned off. Toilet constantly ran. Elevator took forever when working. A party down stairs went on until 4am. Participants arguing. Music blasting and vibrating through at least up to the second floor. Staff was nice enough but seemed as about as interested in doing their job as management was at providing a nice property. Would not return.

Practical for the price and easily accessible from highways and main roads. Property is in need of some maintenance and updating. Rooms should by standard include microwaves and mini-fridges. Sheets and bedding should not be kept in circulation if stained or marked. Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved that there is a dunkin donuts nearby.

Never Again at the Garden Plaza
The hotel was very problematic. The brass railing to go from the street to the lobby was so loose that I dared not use it for fear of falling. The overall hotel was in very poor condition. The elevators had damage and graffiti on the walls. The hallways were dimly lit and had patched walls. The room was tidy, but there was no shampoo, there were no cups. A coffee maker sat on a small table, but there was nothing to make or drink from. The bedroom walls had large drywall patches and the door frame looked like I’d had been kicked in by police.

I was skeptical about this place because of the price. I was quite pleased with my stay. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I’m not sure if there is anything more important than that.. The receptionist was courteous and the room was quiet.
