Pros. I stayed in a girls dorm, the place was nice and quaint. The staff was very friendly.

Cons. Bring your own towel and soaps, unless they were all snagged by the ladies I stayed with, they were not provided.

8.8Very good
cory.vanderpoel, Jun 2015

Pros. The Gardner Hotel is like stepping back, quite a ways back into the past. The lobby looks exactly like I would imagine it did in the 30s/40s, complete with the phone switchboard and old telephone stand. Perfect for someone traveling by themselves looking for a clean, comfortable room. The staff at the hotel could not have been more friendly and helpful!

Cons. The only 'downside' to the hotel is that the building it occupies is also home to 3 bars, all directly under most of the rooms. If you are staying there over the weekend, you might consider ear plugs if you wish to fall asleep before 3 am.
