Not wanting to be in our room constantly, we ventured outside a lot. The outside of the building is in serious need of maintenance and repair. Do not go down the stairs from the upstairs back deck. My husband grabbed the railing and it crumbled in his hands. There are cobwebs all over the place. We have more issues with the inn that have not been resolved yet with the management.

The most adorable Inn! Steps away from Farmers Market and an array of shops and restaurants. Themed rooms that make you feel like you are at home and so cozy and cute. Very friendly staff and a wine and homemade cookie hour to boot! Definitely returning!

My 3rd time staying at Garden Street Inn. Kind of lost its charm this time. Service was lukewarm and Marsh garage parking validation is gone. Still, the location is unbeatable.

Although we just spent a night and left early the next day, the experience was great! Specially breakfast, freshly individually made. Close to dining and shopping at walking distance. Quiet street on a busy commercial area. Great coordination for late registration and excellent service overall.

The staff were rude. A $900 and $1100 room should have regular cleaning, a shower that works and does not pour onto the bathroom floor making a falling hazard, there was no closet and no hangers to hang clothes on at all. It depends on its cuteness for a minimum of service. When we asked for coffee 5. Minutes before 8 we were told that was impossible.

Not sure whether Expedia or Hotel, but we were scammed . Hotel is perfectly nice average $250 per night hotel. Despite booking 9 months ago for CalPoly graduation weekend we were gouged nearly 5x normal price. My bad for not doing more research, but terrible practice nonetheless.

Didn't have parking which was a surprise to us; had to park 2 blocks away. Biggest problem was the king room we had where the toilet was under the stairs so anyone over 5'4" could not safely use the toilet. My husband hit his head 6 times the first day. He had to duck extremely to try to use the toilet. Plus the room was next to the lobby so it was rather noisy. Breakfast was so - so. The first day when I said I had a medical issue with seeds which was the only item for breakfast, the first thing she said was there's a cafe up the road. This is a bed and breakfast. Luckily, the next day, they accommodated me but I was extremely limited again the 2nd day. I could only have a piece of bread and fruit. I was just expecting more since we've stayed at a sister property before in another area which was great. We wouldn't go back to this one.

A lovely historical building turned into a hotel. We stayed at a room on the first floor. The room is comfortable and quiet, and the decoration is unique with the old furniture. There are two things that people need to be aware of; 1. there is no parking space and no valet parking available. 2. There’s no elevator and no porter available.
