This place is terrible. Two roach carcasses in the bathroom. The staff were rude & they charged me 62 bucs. Plenty of places MUCH better. This was the worst room I have ever stayed in! If you are into experiencing suffering & misery, look no further; you've found the perfect place.

This was so creepy that we tried to cancel our reservation only 15 minutes after entering the hotel. They then refused to give our money back. No air conditioning. NOT CLEAN!! Infested with mosquitos while texas has the highest west nile problem in the us. We went and stayed around the airport for the same price. The doors had windows... More

Yes, the building is quite old (has a lot of character though) but the location is great, the price is more than competitive, the staff is very friendly and the rooms are nice. Nothing to complain about at all. I stayed here for 2 nights in April 2012 and had a little mishap happening to me where my boyfriend disappeared... More

We stayed at the hotel after a friend in the county historic society told us about it. Extremely good value, don't expect the taj mahal but more than adequate for the price. Very very friendly staff.

This place is a pretty old building however if you like a building with plenty of character then you wont mind this place. The staff behind the desk were very friendly. The rooms were very basic and the TV I think was still around when square wheels were in fashion. The price was a little high for what you get;... More

The Gardner offers perfectly adequate hostel accommodation, but it was the weird and wonderful old building and the friendliness of the staff that really made for a memorable stay. One thing I would wholeheartedly recommend would be to go on one of staff member Antonio's tours, if he's still offering them; our day trip to White Sands, which included innumerable... More
