Garlic Farm Inn

DO NOT stay here. This is not a normal motel/hotel. I’ve never stayed in a motel room that looked like a room in a corrections facility before. The people are nice—let me say that up front. It’s not about the staff. But even the guy who pointed the way to my room said, “Why are you *here*?” as if even he thought the idea of staying where he worked was absurd. The rooms are above a gas station convenience store. There’s no obvious way in—you have to go through a steel gate that I thought was protecting a heating unit. The room has almost nothing in it—not a bedside table, not a lamp, not a headboard, no art—just peeling paint and nails where decorations must have been. Even the TV remote was given to me when I checked in—I guess they can’t safely leave anything in the room. The floor was swept but filthy. The water from the faucet was cloudy. They should shut down, renovate, and charge double. It’s not worth even $80 a night if you’re worried about bedbugs and foul water.
