The room was comfortable and parking outside the room was excellent. The only issue would be more ventilation in the bathroom. But overall, it was very nice. Will stay again.

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.
