Gardner Hotel

Fantastic! Staff are all accommodating! We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time! The beds are comfortable. Loved how the hotel is still in era, it's refreshing to see the history, loved the fact that John Dillinger stayed there. Looking out the window you can see the trolleys come thru!!!

Old but nice. It’s much better than a Knights Inn by the airport. It is 1 smidge more comfortable than sitting upright on a bus all night. If you’ve stayed in a U.S. hostel before and understand the concept of evaporative cooling, you know what to expect. But it is the reddest of red flags that the front desk actually points out (twice) that once paid, bookings are non-refundable. Do not walk past that red flag. DO NOT under any circumstances book a room here unless you are planning to be OUT until bar time or simply don’t like to sleep before 3 AM. The music starts at 9 sharp and drastically intensifies at midnight - it goes from your typical bass thumping to full on lyrical comprehension of a Lana del Rey/Bodies hit the floor mashup. Extra unfortunately for me, I actually need to *wake up* at 2am, so instead of a mildly uncomfortable night, I get zero sleep at all. I offer my gratitude that I only have to be here one night. The health department, the zoning board, or God himself would intervene and shut this place down. I am thoroughly convinced that the existence of this hotel/club juxtaposition is a curse upon the people of Texas, and those who have the misfortune of visiting Texas, surely brought on by all the human rights violations that Texas has managed to accomplish despite being conquered 6 times in recent history. The fact that the staff even offers Earplugs is hilarious. Earplugs do not and cannot and were never designed to block or even reduce the type of noise that comes from the bar/club next to this hotel.

I have never been in a too noisy hotel. It is impossible sleep due to the noise of the bars. I would never come back. Being honest the staff was great but if you are too close to a bar you must do something to deal with the noise and not only offering plugs because they are workless.
