Small hotel with close parking available. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, and the breakfast area was clean. There’s no elevator; so, if you can’t do stairs, be sure to request a ground level room.

The room was very clean and nice. Nothing felt old or overused. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were coming from out of town for a 4:00 wedding. I emailed and asked about the possibility of a 2:00 check in so that we would have time to get ready and get to the venue and received a very quick response telling me that our room would be ready for our 2:00 check in, and it was. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very Nice Hotel in an Easily Accessible Location

We stayed at the Garner Inn & Suites after a concert at the Surf Ballroom in nearby Clear Lake. It's about a 10 or 15 minute drive from Clear Lake, super easy, just down the highway. The Garner Inn is very comfortable and well appointed, actually nicer than you might expect to find in a small town. The breakfast included hot items like sausage and omelets, in addition to the expected items like a waffle machine and muffins and yogurt. Staff was very friendly.
