What guests say
8.4 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 305 guest reviews
Garden Street Inn earns consistent praise for its prime walkable downtown location, charming historic character, and a genuinely beloved breakfast — making it a standout B&B experience for most guests. However, recurring complaints about breakfast service delays, worn bathrooms, no on-site parking, noise penetration, and the absence of overnight staff (highlighted by a concerning fire alarm incident) suggest the property would benefit from meaningful operational and maintenance investment. Overall sentiment is warmly positive, but these friction points temper an otherwise strong reputation.
