Garvey Inn Hotel - 小台北酒店, Monterey Park

When I got to my room, the TV didn't work and there was no mirror over the sink. They agreed to give me another room. The next one was filthy with black mold and peeling paint in the bathroom and dirt on the walls and still a TV that didn't work. They showed me 3 more - I don't think the TV worked in any, but at least I found one that looked reasonably clean and had a working hair dryer (the only amenity). The internet wouldn't run on my laptop (not strong enough?), they were never able to make the TV work (and the lady at the front desk just laughed at me and said "I can't fix TV you wait till tomorrow!" - what a joke. The breakfast items were pretty much gone 45 minutes into the 2-hour service and I'm not sure they were ever refilled. The towels were threadbare... I could go on and on. The bed sheets were clean, but that was the only plus. As I was checking out, someone else was in the office complaining about their air conditioning not working. I'm guessing every room has an issue. It looks like it hasn't had a penny spent on updating it in years.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were three lamps in the room which none would work. There are only 4 TV channels with subpar quality and don't fit the 30" diagonal flat screen. The shower always had plenty of hot water, but needs to be updated. There was no hair dryer. This was more like a $50-$60 value instead of $84/night. A lot of people use this hotel as the parking lot was full. Did not have a chance to try the breakfast.

Great location great room very happy with my stay would stay there again

Room is ok, just little small. Breakfast needs to be improve, not many items to choose from.

Definitely not a 5-star rated stay but somewhere cheap to lay your head for the night. Room was dirty underneath the beds and the shower curtain railing was falling off the screws, also there was no soap for washing my hands. At least the A/C worked.
