From the start it was bad. I’ve never had a place not let us in early if the room is available, if we come an hour early. Wanted to charge a check in early fee. Fine we wait. First room is horrible with sand all over the bed and horrible ac. We get another room with no refrigerator, blood on the toilet, mold on the books and corners of the room. Absolutely horrid. We will never book though expedia ever again knowing that they offer places like these on their website. We tried for a refund too and called but your team said they called the garden inn and garden said they weren’t going to give a refund and therefore yall won’t either, which I find very scummy. Have fun losing business when airbnb fully wipes yall out within the next decade. Absolutely trash place and horrible to be advertising it as a clean and family-friendly place.

The hotel was out of a horror movie, the worst night i have ever spend and it was only one night and was worried about safety and cleanliness but I had to sleep for a road trip. everything was extremely dirty and old. Picture are not from this hotel and is seems the area is extremely dangerous bc the lobby is not even open to the public they only have an small window outside and this is hotel is definitely a shelter for homeless, I was offered 3 rooms and ALL of them smell like cigarettes or really bad BO this whole experience was sooo traumatic I am so pissed with this hotel and expedia

The gentleman checking me in was wonderful. However, the room was not clean when I checked in. One of the beds was missing a pillow. The bathroom had not been cleaned. There was a towel on the door (used), and soap bars on the floor and left in the shower. The box springs were dirty. The blankets smelled. The room was also musty. If you need a room out of desperation, this is it.

I thought lt would at least be decent; last minute trip holiday weekend and everything else was booked. The whole outside needs a power wash; no tissues, everything falling apart; stains and burns on the comforter! But, it’s only for 1 night!

Absolutely nasty roach infested and need s remodeling. The young lady at the desk was nice the only thing good about it was she gave us a chance to see the room before we pay for it and I gracefully declined. Looks like an old abandoned property. I would not recommend anyone to stay there even though online it was cheap. I would suggest that people stay at the studio 6 behind this hotel. It was well kept comfortable and much much more. That is where I'll stay when I come back to Pensacola. It was also inexpensive but very accommodating.
