We were in town for one night and needed something clean and easy for our family of four. This was perfect, plenty of space and walking distance to town. Our friends stayed right in the room next door. Would definitely stay again.

Really amazing staff, always outstanding when it's owner-operators. Helpful to check us in at late notice and have the heaters on in the room. While the motel is out-dated for the price it was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay and found the service friendly and obliging. The only thing we could find fault with was that we had no views and we felt a bit 'boxed in' For city accommodation, it was convenient. Thank you

Garden Motel was so easy to find. I was greeted kindly and immediately shown our room. The room was so clean! the sheets were so clean and the beds so comfortable. In addition, the towels were so fluffy. After having stayed in a few airbnb's that were less clean, it was a joy to stay at Garden motel. I will recommend it to my friends.
