Cleanliness
3.5
Several reports of heavy smoke in supposedly non-smoking rooms, filthy walls/light switches/floors, and sightings of dead insects; some rooms noted as clean but overall cleanliness was a clear problem for multiple guests.
Service
6.4
Mixed: multiple guests praised friendly, helpful proprietors and staff, but there were also reports of a chaotic check-in and an unhelpful front-desk response regarding a bathroom light issue.
Location
7.7
Consistently noted as convenient—easy access from the highway, motel-style parking at the door, and walking distance to at least one restaurant; good for quick stops.
Room Quality
5.5
Mixed quality: some rooms described as cozy and newly renovated, others outdated or in need of sprucing up; issues reported include thin walls, blinding night spotlight, and non-working TV in at least one case.
Amenities
6.2
Limited amenities: a simple continental breakfast and coffee/muffin in some cases; pet-friendly and basic motel conveniences (parking at door) but no extensive facilities.
Value for Money
7.6
Frequently called a bargain and affordable for the price; several guests explicitly recommended it for budget-minded travelers seeking a basic, quiet stay.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Breakfast offerings were simple with few options, but coffee and a muffin were noted positively by some guests—adequate but not extensive.
Overall Experience
6.2
Mixed overall: many guests appreciated a quiet, inexpensive, comfortable night, while others experienced serious cleanliness and check-in problems; the aggregate experience is average for a budget motel.

Pros:

I love the fact you can pull up to the room.

Cons:

The room was super smokey. Its supposed to be a non-smoking room but everyone sits right in front, next to the air conditioners, smoking. All the walls, light switches and the floor were filthy. The bathroom light didn't come on and when we told the man at the front desk, he said you need to use your toothbrush to jam in and turn it on. The light by the sink, however, came on when you walked near. Blinding spotlight to wake everyone when you got up at night.

Check in was a mess, dead bug on the floor
Pros:

We had roof over our heads and a bathroom

Cons:

We arrived very late and the staff tried to put us in already occupied room. After over 30 min of figuring out what was going on, we were given a room with no car access. TV didn't work and I saw a dead bug the size of my nail in the corner.

Good for the money
Pros:

When you select a budget hotel you get a budget hotel, so it's not fair to compare this to other types of hotels. Our room was not fancy but clean and comfortable, and the hotel was easily accessible from the highway. Perfect for our quick stop. A bargain for the money.

We were very pleased with our stay here.
Pros:

The Cozy Garden Inn provided us with a quiet, comfortable night of rest at a very affordable price. We appreciate the conscientious way that the proprietors care for their facility and their guests.

Cons:

For the very affordable price, we have no complaints whatsoever. The continental breakfast was simple; not many options, but fine. If folks want a fancy hot breakfast, they can choose to stay at a nearby chain hotel and pay $100 to $200 more for the night.

Pros:

This is a nice little cozy place nestled between bigger hotels. It is worth the visit because it was newly renovated and it was a clean hotel. Don't be a slave to name brand hotels every now and then.

Pros:

Room permeated with old cigarette smell. Had to leave the fan going the whole stay to be able to tolerate it. Room was advertised as non smoking. Was too tired to complain. Also front desk person was not available right away at check in or when i checked out. Also some one was running a chainsaw? after 10pm
