I reserved this hotel at a much lower rate than its competitors, so I came in with reasonable expectations. The check in was easy and the host was friendly. The room was pretty clean, although dated (but that was very much expected). I do want to make a point that other people review other hotels and mention bugs, pests, etc, but this hotel was completely free of anything like that, so kudos to Palms Garden. Everything worked and I felt safe in the hotel. It was very easy to get to from I-75 and met all of my expectations. Definitely was better than I had expected.

Our 2nd room was clean however the toilet seal was broken making for a wobbly potty experience. The 1st room was dirty and very poorly planned out. It had lamps on each side of the bed but no plug close enough to plug in. The lamp shade was filthy. The TV didn't not work. We requested to be moved.

The check in was quick after I had to call the number in the window for assistance. Inside room #107 was not well kept. Broken items: hair dryer, wall door stop. TV cable consisted of 6 channels, toilet seat very loose. Front door lock as if it was pryed open before, bathroom door has to be forced to close. Wall paper peeling from wall. No plug where the microwave was located. No one was ever in the main office, you would gave to call and wait for someone to arrive.

Check in was easy, the gentleman at the front was very nice and greeted us with a smile. The room was nice. It’s located in a great place for an overnight or weekend if you just want to be away from everything. There was a couple of restaurants and a Dunkin’ Donuts and Wendy’s all within 30 seconds of driving or 1 minute walking. We were actually going to stay another night, but the weather turned nasty and there wasn’t going to be anything for us to do so we headed home instead. We would’ve totally stayed if the weather would’ve cooperated.

The room smell like mildew and mold, the carpet was gross!!! The bathroom light was falling out of the ceiling, the back of the complex where our room was looked like it was used in a horror movie! No water in the pool, not that we would have used it!! Sketchy people all around obviously living in the rooms, very dirty and smelly!!!

The office was locked and myself and another lady were waiting outside in the heat. I finally called a number posted and the guy came immediately. After a brief check in, I got my room key....only to realize someone else was already in the room! So thankful that they weren't in in the room at the time! (How does this happen? Someone pays cash and the desk clerk leaves it off the books?) The black out curtains didn't block the light at all. The giant security lights guarding the parking lot came on through. I did not get a good nights sleep. It was a combination of the mattress and the light. Room #123. I took a picture of the mirror. But I cannot figure out how to post it on this review. Housekeeping used a dirty cloth to clean it and it was easy to see.
