I am a cyclist traveling across the country from coast-to-coast. While my route doesn't take me through Garden City, I had bike issues and ended up getting a ride to the city since it was the nearest place around me in Kansas with any semblance of bike parts. The owner of Garden City Inn saw me pull up as a passenger in a police pickup, with my bike in the bed of the truck, and he immediately knew the sort of situation I was in. He was willing to negotiate on a room price just a bit (it was a weekday and I was obviously in trouble), assisted in getting my bike and my stuff into the hotel, and even offered to drive me to the nearest bike shop the next morning. Not only did he actually fulfill his promise to drive me to that bike shop, but when I called him to tell him they did not have what I needed, he came back to the shop to pick me up and drive me to another store. Amazing! I've simply never received the same sort of hospitality and friendliness at any comparable hotel before. In addition, I felt like the breakfast (cereal, waffles, fruit, coffee, tea) was more than adequate considering the price and I found my room to be very clean, my bed was comfortable, and I honestly just didn't have any issues at all. There is even a pretty good Mexican restaurant right across the street. I can't recommend this...
Read moreI stayed in room 203 for about 2 weeks with 2 other guys when we got sent to work at the wind turbine laydown yard. It was like $420 per week. It's pretty average by all accounts but I liked all the plants in the stairwell and the pool was clean and was nice and breakfast was basically exactly what you would expect. But the reason I give this hotel 5 stars is really just because basically everyone that worked their was super friendly. The cleaning ladies and especially the guy at the front desk (don't remember his name, Indian gentleman.) Anyways for someone who works on the road a lot it's definitely something worth appreciating when you come across really friendly people. I'll definitely stay here the next time I get send to Garden City. Also on a side note if you're looking to have fun in Garden City I would definitely recommend checking out the free zoo, it's got badass animals and really...
Read moreMy friend has stayed here often and is his go to place in Garden CIty. I booked on line, but when I checked in they said I should have called directly to get a better rate. Booking online comes at a premium to the hotel. Since it is a family owned and operated hotel, they will work with you. Which is why my friend was surprised at the rate I got. Nuff said as you read other reviews. Sure some items in the room were dated, but what do you want in this day and age for $70. It is clean, quiet and comfortable beds. The air conditioner/heater units are dated, cannot have just the fan on for white noise, must use heat or cool was the only problem we encountered. Good wifi, and that was the only amenity we took advantage of during our stay. So call the hotel directly to get your best rate and you will not be...
