Reviews for The Garden Inn
Review 1：Area around pool was very cold. We had sweat shirts on to keep warm.
Review 2：Plenty of room around pool for our group of people. Tables and chairs to use. Rooms were comfortable.
Review 3：have stayed at Inn 2 other times and the quality, service and attention to customers' comfort was lacking.
Review 4：Has deteriortated in quality and service. Had to request that our room be made up after 7 p,m.one night requested towels() received 1. this comment was meant for nex t box LIKED L0CATION. at previous visits staff was more educated and helpful
Review 5：Towels were rough and like sandpaper. Toiletries used one day were not replaced the next. TV small and did not have a lot of cable channels.
Review 6：Good location near restaurants and 10 Miles from Notre Dame University.
Review 7：The staff was either inexperienced or ill-tempered. Our room was changedbefore our arrival which we discovered because the new paperwork wasincorrect. The hotel section we were put in was not air conditioned andneither of our room keys worked.
Review 8：A nearby restaurant, The Chubby Trout, was outstanding. The only goodthing about our stay.
Review 9：The rooms were run down and bed sheets were flat sheets that would notstay on the mattress. Fitness center smelled horrible and wasunusable. We tried to get out of reservation 5 minutes after checkingin but was denied.
Review 10：Not a lot of good to say.
Review 11：It wasn't "dirty", but it was very old and in bad need of an update. Both pools were empty. It was just depressing.
Review 12：That it was available
Review 13：Blood on wall, black seed/incects (?) In bed, fingernail on nightstand. Went straight to bed when I arrived, so I did not see any of this until morning. I was horrified. Did not even shower, left ASAP!
Review 14：Location
Review 15：The hotel is likely under new inexperienced ownership. They would be wise to garner some professional opinion and critique for details. A little bit goes a long way to making a good impression. Vacuuming needs edging attention or it looks dirty.
Review 16：The room's bathroom was updated with quality materials. The coffee/cappacino selection machine in the lobby was a fun option to offer guests.
Review 17：Old hotel didn't even have number plate on the room. It was in permanent marker. The pool closed waiting on health dept. Breackfast was a joke. Restaurant closed.
Review 18：Lady at front desk was nice at check in.
Review 19：The room was not made up each day. I had to ask for towels every day. The bathroom toilet was not clean. Housekeeping was not available when I asked for a cleaning.
Review 20：Desk staff was courteous.
Review 21：Everything was good!
Review 22：I liked the fact that the cost was so low for the quality of the room. Most other places in the area charge a lot more for the same quality of room. For the same price you would get something rather gross down the street.
Review 23：My only complaint is that I wanted to take a bath, but the tub was dirty under the nonslip lining, so I passed on the bath.
Review 24：It was everything we needed, and a good value. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating.
Review 25：very noisy heating system (had to shut off in order to sleep) poor key system (had to go to front desk twice in 2 days to reset)
Review 26：quick, courteous staff spacious room
Review 27：Poor heating in halls and common areas Cost was on the high side for the overall condition of the facility- I am sure due to ND being at home
Review 28：Location in proximity to Notre Dame
Review 29：Area surrounding the facility is a little "rough", meaning, it's attached to a defunct restaurant and the parking lots have kind of a deserted feel.
Review 30：Price, convenient to shopping center (Kmart, etc.) newly updated, clean, friendly staff, quiet.
Review 31：We had the impression that the facilities were in the process of being upgraded construction-wise and the rooms were not completely finished. The charges were somewhat high compared to the quality of the accommodations and the parking lot had some litter..
Review 32：The sensitiveness of the management and their efforts to please their guests were appreciated...
Review 33：Facility needs quite a bit of work still. Getting there, but still a little run down. Needs an elevator. I've never been to a hotel with no elevator.
Review 34：Price, free pop, water, and OJ at front desk, location, staff friendly
Review 35：There's a Bennegans attached that isn't open. A resturant in house would make this place somewhere where the wife and I will go just to get away for a day or two
Review 36：Perfect even the parking lot is pretty. My wife and I were there for the last night of our honeymoon. It was quiet the staff was great and there were plenty of resturants close.
