Garvey Inn Hotel - 小台北酒店, Monterey Park

The room was not big. But it was decent. Online says you can check in at 1pm. But regardless of what they may tell you via email, they won't let you check in until 3pm. The lobby had seats we could sit in while we waited. The best thing about the room was the shower. It's a walk in. Comfortable and the water pressure was great. Very strong! Maybe not so great if your're older or sensitive but I love it. There was no housekeeping, which was fine for us. We just left the trash bin outside and they emptied it accordingly. It's not the Hilton. But it was comfortable for us because we had no high expectations. There's no microwave in the room. But there is one in the lobby. There is a fridge in the room. No coffee maker. Towels are small so take your own. Cable isn't great. I just watched YouTube videos on my phone. 7-11 is across the street as are a few other eateries. It's a nice area. A bit far from the airport though. Close to the convention center which is what we wanted because we were going to the anime expo.

It was okay. We didn't run into any problems. Everything was straight forward. There were cosmetic issues with the actual room but we didn't book it for that. Clean sheets. We thought it was good place to rest our heads. We never tried the breakfast we never got a chance.

There are no drinking glasses in the room. There are no outlets near the bed to charge items The towels are very thin The room was very clean

This is a very bare bones hotel. Fairly quiet and feels ok safety wise. Get to breakfast early or they will be out of most things. Only have two towels per room, no washcloths or hand towels- request more as you check in and you may get some if housekeeping is working at the time. No smoke detector in room and no security chain to lock. Air worked well, shower was dirty and had hair…I mean you get what you pay for. Only get one key per room and you are charged if you don’t turn it in- so don’t lose it! Close to Starbucks and McDonald’s so that was a plus! Location was amazing! Everything is about 20 min away.
