Pros:

There a bunch of roaches, still infested. I don't see how all the hotels in Fredericksburg south aren't condemned and then privately owned by long term leasers because maybe the people who call it home will have more respect cleaning it then the people who sit on there butt doing nothing about the bugs . It's ridiculous I seen like 25 roaches one night when I woke up by the microwave. That's also outdated af . So really yo just sell the hotel .

Pros:

We were given a room when we got there. The bathroom ceiling was leaking of water and made a puddle on bathroom floor. Found 2 roaches. Went back to hotel clerk and asked for another room. She gave us a much better room but the only problem was that the front door wouldn’t lock. We put a table in front of door. I would not stay there again because of its condition. Staff is friendly. They need to update the hotel.

Pros:

Staff was super nice. Room smelled terrible of gasoline fumes. Was told they had a generator running for the plumber. Room was moved. New room had cockroaches running around the microwave fridge area. Told manager Ava and she didn’t seem to care.

Pros:

Asked for non smoking. Our room smelled like that great uncle that always has a cigarette in his hand. I woke up to my chest on fire and my eyes burning. If we weren't just driving through and exhausted from driving 13 hours we would of not stayed. Bugs in room and most people live there. Probably worst hotel we have ever stayed at.

Pros:

The only thibg nice at this place was the girl at the front desk. There were cigarette burn holes in the blanket and on the carpet. The top door lock latch was missing. There was something sticky and gross on the trash can. The worst was the cockroach that crawled across the bed. I was only in the room for an hou and a half and i left. Expidia was unsuccessful in getting my money back. That place was terrible. The parking lot was dark. I almost drove past it. I do not recommend staying at the Garden Inn. It was NASTY!! The woman at the front desk was very friendly and said i would get a refund trhough Expedia. But they turned atound and denied me a refund. I wish i could post pictures. Do not stay here!

Pros:

Convenient, plenty of available parking spots,. The only negative thing is cleaning the room. I stayed two nights and didn't have towels. Since i leave very early and come late, staff were unable to give me towels as they stated the storage room is locked. Used the same towels again.
