Caution: steer clear of this place! It shouldn’t even be considered a budget motel. While the exterior may appear appealing, the interior is a nightmare. The electrical outlets are so old and worn that nothing stays plugged in, the door barely latches and requires slamming to close, the beds are worn out and uncomfortable, and the hot water and pressure are unreliable. The front desk is unresponsive, and we experienced a random overflow from the toilet that flooded our room.
Now, about the front desk receptionist: she was rude, dismissive, and condescending. When I approached her to explain our situation, she coldly replied, “I’m not housekeeping, and there’s no one on duty. There’s nothing I can do for you.” I even requested towels to address the flood, only to be told they had none. As a result, we had to sleep in a flooded room with two upset children. This staff member showed no concern for our predicament.
You’d be better off spending a few extra dollars at the Wyndham—Travelodge in Homestead, where Mr. Sunny Patel, the owner, takes pride in his establishment. The parking lot is clean, the rooms are immaculate, and the bathrooms sparkle. Avoid the Garden Inn at all costs.
