King suite with a kitchenette and had no dishware. Not one single cup, fork, paper towels, nothing. Dirty towel on bathroom door was left. Hair on the bathroom floor. No hairdryer. Was right next to a truck stop. Heard semi's running all night long. Nice king bed had satellite. Overall okay stay.

We stayed for 1 night on a long trip, and it was comfortable and dog friendly with a nice big area to run around with the dog. We would definitely stay again.

It’s a good value

The hotel was clean and cozy, but it was a bit dated and the tv didn’t work, however it was a good value for the money.

Horrible

This was so dirty we decided to leave minutes after going into our room! I highly recommend you never go here! Of course they still charged me even though I left! Pool empty cement pond, room walls dirty, blood stained mattress cover, garbage and construction materials everywhere outside. Awful!!

Okay hotel

This is a roadside hotel that caters more to truck drivers. Lot’s of porn on the tv. The rooms were cleanish. Shower was functional but not very clean. We were just there to make a quick stop on our way to Orlando. It served it’s purpose for a place to sleep.

Palms Garden was not as advertised! The room was dingy, linens yellowed, grasshopper on one bed, dirty sock in the bathroom. Room had to be accessed through a dark exterior hall, from the parking lot. Pool was drained, not in use. The check in was good, manager helpful and accommodating. We got a refund, did not stay.
