It's an older place but it was very affordable. Our water is out at home so we came to shower, sleep in a clean bed and we didn't want to spend alot. The room is clean, and the best part is NO BUGS. We will probably be back next week (: The office staff (probably the owners) was very accommodating and there wasnt alot of noise. Thanks yall for letting me change my room type even though it was my mistake at booking.

I was pleasantly surprised. We needed a cheap room while visiting family. It was cheap and I expected it to be sketchy. The room was old in a cool, retro way. Very clean. And, much to my surprise, very quiet. They do have some old locks on the doors that made me nervous, but it ended up being great. I saw some reviews about bugs but we never had a problem.

I love nostalgic hotels/motels. This one is under going a remodel. The owner was very nice and helpful. He was telling me he has owned the place for 2 years. My room was big, clean and quiet. The bathroom was also big with wonderful 60's tile. Huge step in shower, I was amazed, that I got this room for two days for less than $80.00. They are painting all the doors a beautiful burgundy color. If I had the time, I would have loved to stay a couple more days. I had a microwave and a fridge, table and chairs for eating. I read some negative reviews before I booked. My experience was excellent, the king size bed was clean and comfortable. I slept like a baby. I have stayed hotels/motels costing over $100.00 a night. They were not as clean, as The Gardos Motel. Nice place, I seriously very much enjoyed the whole experience. Gary O

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!
