Wow... I'm finding it hard to believe we stayed in the same hotel. The Garden Villas was a surprise alright, but not a pleasant one. I was there for 1 night in late April 2006. This is a very old roadside motel that has had a facelift. They took old kitchenette rooms and put down pergo and tile and added granite countertops, but kept the old beds and pink ceramic tile that belies the true age of the hotel. The kitchenette would be nice if you were staying for a while, but I wasn't. My room (118) was not very clean. The bed was old and uncomfortable. The musty smell was overwhelming and sent me running for my allergy meds. I never saw bedbugs, but I never felt alone in my bed, if you know what I mean. I paid nearly $100 for this really bad 3 hours of sleep, and I couldn't report it to the night manager when I left at 6:00AM, because there was no one in the office. I don't recommend this place, unless every other place is full for miles around and you bring your own sheets and pillow.
