Great location staff is very nice! The location is family friendly! Not over crowded like most places either. All of the staff were nice. It’s not a new modern hotel. But it’s still great place right on the beach!

Easy check-in. Classic beach hotel without all the frills. Reminded me of my childhood beach trips. Beach was perfect. Other vacationers were perfect. No chaos. No obnoxious music. Everyone was respectful. Will return. Thank you for a great quick trip!

Would stay again

Ground floor room, pool right outside your door, with small table & chairs, 5 steps down from pool your on the beach! Upper 3 floors had balconies. Being a smaller hotel service was great, you were not just a number. Nothing fancy, but clean. Most rooms have a very small kitchen. Great location, very close to murrels inlet. Best part was we decided to stay another night ( first 2 nights rained out) so Tina at the front desk did some moving around for us, so we didn’t have to change rooms! We will be back!

This is a good place to stay if you do not have much money to spend or you've waited till the last minute to reserve. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was incredible. We had quiet evenings and the pool was clean and quiet. The view could not be better overlooking the ocean. There is a small store on the property that was a plus. There was a comment in a review that mentioned smoke from balconies being a nuisance. We only smelled someone smoking the first day and after they left we didn't smell smoking after that. A life guard is stationed on beach in front of Garden City Inn. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of age and lack of higher level interior finishes.

Loved that it's pet friendly and oceanfront but it needs better upkeep. My dog is completely house broken but it's obvious a lot aren't. Wall edges are chewed up and paint peeling where dogs have been peeing on everything. Room 201 has a non stop ticking noise coming from the electrical outlet between the beds that's broken and the bathroom sink is very slow draining as well as the vent fan needs cleaning out. On a positive note the location is great and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

It's an older motel, but they keep it up every year. All rooms are oceanfront and it has a little store at the corner of the building. Pet friendly and family friendly. Price is VERY reasonable! Only drawback is it's 4 floors with no elevator. I found out that if you get a suite, those are in the ground floor-fyi

Dump. Needs a total renovation. Cracked dirty floors, moldy shower, TV didn’t work, dirty AC unit. The only nice thing was the view and the showers water pressure.
