Garden Suites

This place is horrible. There is mold on the ceiling. There is blood on the floor. It’s the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed in, and is incredibly over priced. You can stay at the Sheraton down the road for an extra 15 $ a night. Seriously my worst experience ever. It really IS that bad.

This hotel is a budget motel, not much of a «suite». Located in one of the roughest parts of pacific highway, known for drugs and prostitution. The room was 65 plus tax. Ended up paying about 73 $. There is a ten dollar security deposit for non smoking rooms. Not sure how ten dollars would fix any damages. The place is run down. Carpet is filthy dirty. My shower curtain was crusted with toothpaste residue and boogers. The lighting was awful. My window faced a house that was extremely ugly and junky. The bathroom fan was very loud and annoying. Room 106. I know they don’t wash the top blankets ever. Cigarette burns and stains all over. Couldn’t sleep on that. There was only one large towel. And the towel was also stained with yellow. I was dropped off by a taxi in the evening after running to the nearest fast food restaurant. When I walked into the lobby, the woman at the front desk explained I was not to have any visitors past 9:00 pm. Well, lady, I didn’t have a visitor, I was dropped off by a yellow cab. So I don’t know why she felt the need to say that to me. I found that to be extremely rude. Check out is 11am. My flight out of Seatac was not taking off until 4pm, I asked for a late checkout and was told I could only stay until 11:30. There was trash in the hallways that reeked of marijuana and cigarettes. There was a women’s wig in the hallway in front of the room across from mine. Very strange. When I left, There was a man smoking something out of a glass pipe on the stairs. Probably crack. This place is awful. They should really invest in some new carpet. Actually they should really demolish the entire building and start over. At minimum, Housekeeping needs to do a better job. I honestly feel like I should have been paid to stay there. I wanted to ask for a refund. But I doubt they would have done anything to make it right.
Don’t stay here, you are better off staying at a motel 6. Even the one on 188^th where someone was murdered.

Do not under any circumstances stay at this hotel… unless your plan is to slam heroin with a cheap prostitute, if that’s the case, then this is the place for you! My wife and I needed a place to spend 5 hours during a late night layover on our way to India. Literally just needed a relatively clean bed and shower which was way to tall of an order for the garden suites. Toilet was brown, our «non» smoking room reeked of cigarettes, pillows felt like they were stuffed with clumpy dreadlocks, the comforter breached on untouchable, the window was wide open in an incredibly sketchy area of town because they like to «air out the rooms», and needless to say when we addressed these issues and wanted to leave and refund our money the unpleasant woman running the desk more or less accused us of having a quicky because apparently that’s the kind of establishment they run. Still having fun with that process. Oh yea, the stains on the floor made me not want to remove my sandals. Thank god we got our shots for India because we needed them more so for the 20 minutes we spent at the garden suites. This place is a big ol ZERO! 1 star only because you have to.

This place looks ok from the outside. Dirty and poorly ran on the inside. Free breakfast is a joke! If it comes to a choice of sleeping In your car or staying here… I suggest you sleep in your car. Nasty place with completely unprofessional staff!

This place doesnt even deserve a half star. It is soooo gross. Idk where «turner d» spent the night but it couldnt have been in the same room i used. I would’ve been happier at the airport on the floor!
How can a business with rooms in this condition legally operate and charge these prices? Lobby area is a «bait and switch» tactic in my opinion. I paid almost $ 100 for one night. ONLY thing good was the air conditioner. The room furniture looked like it was acquired from a hotel dumpster. My room on the ground level had a cracked window that was already wide open when i entered. I saw dirty walls/​ceiling with dried drippings, a broken lock, carpet that looked like it hadnt been shampooed in years. Sheets were old & stained. Blanket had burn holes, fridge had mold. Booked online. Refund not available.

Beyond expectation! This room was exceptional. The staff was friendly and always willing to help. The warm Des Moines breeze wafted from a spectacular view of the urban sprawl. The fresh, crisp smell of the sheets, familiar and embracing. The vintage T.V. and classic phone reminded me of simpler times. This hotel was unlike anything I’ve seen before. Would recommend this hotel to anyone In need of a very relaxed environment.

This place was absolutely disgusting. Don’t be deceived by its not-​so-​bad-​looking exterior.
My travelling companions and I were going to Seattle for a fun weekend of city exploration. We had booked at a different hotel, but got in too late and lost our room. The guy recommended Garden Suites, whom he called and told us that the lady was «quite mean» on the phone. My buddy called her as well, and booked us a room (also echoing the woman’s rudeness).
We drive to the place, not expecting much for 65 $ a night. What we found was quite disgusting. more akin to a place you would probably bring a prostitute. and I’m not an overly picky person when it comes to this stuff. The window was wide open, probably because the room REEKED of stale cigarette smoke. Immediately, the following was noticed.
— The windowsill had an extremely large amount of dirt and grime on it, implying that the place simply had not been cleaned. A spray of cleaner and a rag would have gotten this off.
— The floor had so many stains on it and was so dirty that I did not want to walk on it without shoes. It was definitely not vacuumed anytime recently.
— The bedspread had what was hopefully dried food on it. The sheets had multiple stains.
— The bathtub also had stains on it, yellow disgusting ones.
— The phone looked like they fished it out of a dumpster.
— The artwork on the walls had a sticker half ripped off it from when they bought it at an auction. 5 minutes could have taken this out.
After we went and said that our room was disgusting, the woman running the place would not offer a refund but said we could switch rooms. We went across the hall to a slightly-​less-​disgusting version of the same room. which had all of the same problems except a little less gross (and did not reek from years of smoking). It did have disgusting water damage on the ceiling, but it was 1 AM and we just sucked it up and stayed there. I slept fully clothed as to not touch most of the bed.
Anyways, I highly recommend you DO NOT stay here. The only positive of this place was the fact that they had free WIFI that actually worked. but everything else gave this place my prize for «Most Disgusting Hotel I’ve Ever Stayed In». Congratulations, Garden Suites! Now, I would recommend you actually hire a person or two to take care of the place, instead of just making the bed and putting in some stained but non-​smelly towels after a guest stays in the room.
NASTY! The pictures I have do not do the true filth in this place any justice.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. When we arrived at the airport they were listed as having shuttle service. So i called asking to get picked up. They said since we got a discounted price they do not offer shuttle service. When we got there, i was in shocked. Totally not like it was in the pictures. The hotel was so old and not well maintained. The casino that was in the picture was abandoned. The room was disgustingly dirty. The door’s safety lock was broken. There were holes in the ceiling. The bed sheets had several cigarette burns. The bathroom wall paper was coming off the wall. The carpet was really dirty. It was just a disappointing experience. The stairwells had trash underneath them like a broken T.V. and several paper cups and this was inside the hotel. It was scary looking. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

I recently stayed in this hotel for two nights. Thursday, and Friday night. I do not recommend this place to stay, at all. Supposedly it’s under new management, but I can’t even say anything positive about the management, and or customer service. Let me just start off by saying that we got there to check in at about 9pm or so. When we arrived we were confronted with a rude lady working the desk. So that was the first bad thing. We got our room keys and proceeded to our room, needless to say the door opened and an overwhelming smell of b/​o is engulfed in the room. Absolutely disgusting! The beds suck, they were very old, and squeak, and the springs were giving out. For this place being only 7 years old it’s pretty much a dive, and I was no where near impressed. Of course you get what you pay for, the room was one of the cheaper places to stay at in the Seattle area. I’ve stayed at Super 8 hotel’s nicer than this place. Garden Suites advertises having an indoor pool, but it’s only open until 9pm. I didn’t find the hours of when the pool was open to be convenient. We also had a problem with one of the room keys that was issued to us. I went down to the desk and the girl at the desk seemed to be pretty dense. When we checked in we had to present each of our ID’s so in case if we lost a key or something we could present our ID’s which they had copies on file. So I would have expected the same thing when I had to go to the desk to get a new key issued. The girl at the desk took my two keys, gave me a new key to our room w/​o having to present my ID. I even offered it to present, she proceeded to tell me that I had the keys in my hand and that was enough identification. Ummm… HELLO? I could have been anyone. How is that secure? Not to mention there was a back door that people kept propping open to get into the hotel, which should have remained closed at all times.
Also they advertise free breakfast from 6am-​9am. What a joke, seriously this place has to be being ran by some really cheap people! They’re idea of free breakfast is some cheap ass oatmeal, and one type of cereal I think it was cheerios. It was kept in like a rubbermaid container. Seriously, you can’t pick up muffins or bagels? That was the poorest excuse for free breakfast I’ve ever seen after staying at a hotel. There wasn’t even any orange juice. Plus, I don’t see how that is very hygenic how does anyone know if someone spit, or tampered with the cereal in the container? Just gross!
This place is a dump. Spend the extra 20 bucks and stay somewhere else.
