There are some interesting exhibits here as well (about airplanes, old-fashioned telephones, and a whole bunch of other stuff) to liven things up a bit if you’re down for that. I personally really like the very long hallways and oversized lounges. Great Place!

Garden city kicks ppl out
was at garden city hotel last night they told us that only registered guests can loiter in the lobby. although a friend of mine went the night before without a problem. Use at your own risk. have a backup.
I was kicked out of garden city two weeks ago. They dont allow dates. DONT GO
I was kicked out of gaarden city a couple weeks ago
