We had never stayed in Garden City so we were a little nervous about the whole trip as we planned it. But we are so glad we lucked up on this spot! It was very clean, the description given was spot on, and it was walking distance to the beach, pier, shops, and restaurants. My teens loved the atmosphere of this area and there was even some time for us adults to have fun at the pier with the bar and live music. The only problem we had honestly was the four flights of stairs we had to take to get to our room...kind of tough with bags, food, and beach gear. But overall this place was great and I would definitely love to come again!!
