What guests think

At Garden Inn & Suites, guests often find clean, quiet, budget-friendly rooms and welcoming staff, though the property is older and undergoing updates, so expectations should be modest and aligned with a simple, no-frills stay.

Many reviews praise comfortable beds and convenient access off the interstate, with dining options nearby. Common drawbacks include dated decor, occasional maintenance issues like broken fridges or the ice machine, limited amenities such as no in-room coffee, and mixed reports on cleanliness, from spotless to pests or odors. Check-in is typically quick, though some noted a locked lobby with window service and sporadic service lapses. Overall, expect a basic, affordable stopover with variable polish.

Family owned business with care for their customers. Quick check in and easy check out. We stayed overnight. Room smelled good, bed comfy, tv with many channels and good wifi. It’s a nice basic motel but very charming. Fridge was a nice size, worked well as did the microwave. Good shower. Area safe and very quiet. If you book here please take care of the place as your own, dispose of oversized garbage like pizza boxes. The room was newer and had all the essentials. The family works hard to maintain it. Be courteous. The owners very nice, friendly. We stayed in room 207.

Our room was adequate for an overnight stay. But I would not stay again for a couple reasons. First, there was absolutely no hospitality. No coffee in room or in the lobby. As a matter of fact, the lobby was locked and all contact was through a window when we checked in. Secondly, our room's shower head did not work well. A new shower head might fix the problem. As far as the exterior, it needs some curb appeal. If we hadn't booked on advance, we might have just driven by without stopping because it lacked in lighting which made it look run down. Granted, we arrived at dusk, but weren't sure at first of the security of the property and area.

The refrigerator did not work on the first room given so I asked for another room wherein the refrigerator would work. The hotel was able to accommodate us on that so I am glad. Everything works on the second room given. We stayed 2 nights and it was okay for the price paid but the most important part is it was close to the family we were attending a wedding with.

Good to see the hotel has started to update and remodel. Ice machine needs to be replaced and the TV could be larger. Brand new AC was awesome. New furniture to include carpet, toilet, and beds. The building has been repaited as well. We will definately stay again and applause the new owners for putting money and time in the remodel process. They actually care about the place.

We stay here several times a year and it's always been clean and quiet. There's a good variety of dining within a short drive, walkable if you'd like. The owner is very friendly and helpful. If there's any negative it would be the ice maker is always broken.

I felt that having an accessible handicapped room should have had a walk in shower, a bed with good mattress and no carpet. Disappointing for a newly renovated room. The bed is at the end of its life and the carpet would be best removed and replaced with a hard surface.

Room smelled of cigarette smoke. There was no door sweep so the cockroaches just came in under the door. I kill 3 just after entering the room. The lock only worked some of the time. Again no hot water in the shower. There were several black mold blooms in the bathroom around the shower. The toilet seat was loose and broken.The mattesses are worn out and have dips and leans. The cold water when turned on was dark muddy brown and then became a light rusty brown, but never ran clear.

Hair in the shower, decor and carpet from the 1980s, phone with no cord, stained furniture, and water stains on the ceiling. I will say that once I peeled the threadbare bedspread off with a set of chopsticks that I found in my car, the sheets appeared clean. The bed was comfortable. There was no sign of bugs, trust me, I did a thorough search! The manager/owner was very friendly. It appeared that most of those who were staying there, lived there. They had folding furniture, small toys, and little grills outside their rooms. It appeared to be a safe area. It was very quiet. This hotel seemed to be in a lot better shape than the one next door as far as the exterior goes. I wouldn’t stay here again.

An older property that looked rather drab from the outside. However the room was relatively large with a desk and sofa, was clean, and the furnishings and carpet were in good condition. The TV was small, but it worked fine, and there was a list of available networks and channels taped next to the TV, so you didn't have to scroll through all the channels to figure it out yourself.

I won’t lie, I was a little apprehensive at first about this place. GPS takes you in a weird way where you have to drive around back through some kind of industrial lot with tractor trailers. The lobby is locked- you have to check in through a window. But when you look at the building itself, it’s in good repair. The room was very clean and comfortable, if a little dated (ditto for the bathroom). It was quiet at night, which was nice. Once we figured out how to actually get in and out of the place, it was very convenient for driving. Overall, we got a lot more for our money than we anticipated. If I ever have to go back to Metter, I will absolutely be staying here.
