I don't want this review to be a bitch-fest about my experience with the staff, but know that it was the people working here that made it a roller-coaster experience.
Take any day of being a guest, and you're subject to the emotions of whoever's working the desk at the time, if they're available. This might mean that a nicer gentleman will show you how to use the washing machine, and smile a lot and be very courteous. Other times a surly woman will appear quite upset at your insistence on paying her to access that very same washer and dryer. And finally, you'll always have a good day when you talk to the nicer older folks running the morning breakfast. It was a shame they couldn't run the hotel full-time.
The actual venue was nice. Relativity clean I suppose with no glaring problems. The beds were comfortable and cleaned regularly, and we had fresh towels. The location was also very good in relation to base and the highway, but lacking in things to do around, (hardly Hotel Garni's fault) if you're taking that into consideration for where to stay.
(The notable exception being a KILLER Doner place down the street)
Hotel Garni is just simply a victim of the small things. The dust in the corners, the random construction projects and surly staff. And although the morning breakfast meant well, it was hard to justify in our final bill. It's hard to accurately explain why Hotel Garni was bad (a shitty wi-fi signal is hardly a reason to put a place down) but the best way I can put it is that the entire place lacked any motivation to please.
