The location is the absolutely best part of this hotel!!! High recommend!!! First floors are the best rooms to stay in. They have mini kitchens with good size fridge. We went grocery shopping and bought essentials and everything fit well. Would recommend getting paper plates and silverware and paper towel. Kitchen supplies are limited. A toaster and a spatula would be nice to have in the kitchen. The cons are the housekeeping. We only received service twice. Needed to keep getting towels and tp ourselves. Internet was sketchy. Sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. I will go back again though based on location. Loved Lunchbox and Princetina. They were very helpful and kind. Excellent employees.

The actually property itself was amazing, it was right by the beach, a store was in the parking lot, it was great in theory. However the manager of the property is SO rude and has a terrible attitude. The new towels we received weren’t clean, and we never saw or noticed room service come around or in our room until the third day there. She was very inconsiderate to us I’m assuming because we were younger than the other guests that we passed by staying there. However all of the desk workers were so nice and amazing!

This was my second stay here at Garden City Inn, and I would book again! The concierge was amazing and extremely helpful for a quick check in. Only thing is locals have to pay $150 in cash as a deposit, which I was not aware of so beware of that! Otherwise, great beach front property!

My flight plans changed and I needed a place to rest for the 8 hr difference. The Garden City Inn made that a non-issue. I needed an early check in and They accommodate me and my needs to the fullest at that time. And the Mini-Mart is very convenient! When visiting The Grand Strand again I will certainly consider The Garden City Inn based off of this experience. Thanks

Enjoyed the time great staff

It was a very nice hotel. Hotel room face ocean. There is 3 floors and FYI no elevator which was ok for us. The first floor has the sliding doors going to the pool area and a patio area looked nice we were there in February and the weather was cool. Beach was at your front door and room was clean.
