What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Best place ive lived been here for awhile,good people made friends,owners are really nice people,and very understanding if you ever need a quiet place to sleep or stay gardos motel is the place to be im happy to found this place”
“I absolutely love the little bike trail right across the street. The atmosphere is pleasant. People here mind their business and are friendly. Haven't had any issues with anyone and the guy in the office is super nice. On my second night I did have a bug in my room but someone came up right away and took care of it and offered to move me to another room if the problem persisted but I haven't had an issue since. Really not a bad place if you're a decent human being.”
