The Family Inn and Suites was so awesome. I don't know if there are any words worthy of explaining it. Imagine walking into a courtyard that immediately makes you feel a serene feeling of being in the Bahamas or Cancun without actually being there. There were beautiful ponds flowing throw many beautiful tropical plants, complete with a waterfall and two... more

This hotel was excellent. We had our truck in the shop and stayed here for 4. It was a very quiet 4 days. They have 4 spas in the courtyard with a waterfall running through them and the rooms were very clean and well kept. They also have a cabana where they offer free beer, hot dogs, popcorn and nachos... more

I was forced to spend three days in Laredo and completely by chance found The Family Garden. I know that the more "sophisticated" travelers probably will poo poo this motel but I found it wonderful. It was relaxing,clean, neat, and well organized. The staff was friendly and took very good care of me. The happy hour was wonderful, I did... more

The gardens were very pretty and the cabana with "happy hour" was neat, but all in all I wasn't impressed. We ordered steaks for dinner and they were a very generous size! I couldn't eat it all which made our dog very happy ;-).The rooms were so-so. One great thing is the courtesy van! They picked us up at Freightliner... more

This was my first time to return to the Family Garden in several years and I found it to be mostly a good experience. My room was very nice with a small kitchen area and a big patio next to the pool. The room appeared to be recently renovated. The free continental breakfast was nice, the the outdoor poolside cabana... more

I've stayed at the Family Garden Inn many times over the past nine years (most recently in January, 2008) and each time I have experienced a friendly and helpful staff, clean spacious rooms, a cabana serving a continental breakfast planned to prepare anyone for the day ahead and, later in the day, a fabulous "Social/Happy Hour" (actually two hours) inviting... more

This is the second time my family has stayed at this hotel and we LOVED it both times. We only stayed for one night but it was great. I loved that it has a fun atomoshere for young people but still great for a family stay. The staff was great! My boys loved the playground with the huge slide and... more

This is the first time (out of very many) that Tripadvisor has let us down. I booked this on the advice given here. What were you people smoking? Okay, I agree with the comments about the garden and all that, but the most important thing was a room for the night. When we walked into room 279, my wife exclaimed... more

Its not new or fancy but for families, lonely travelers and truckers, its a clean comfortable place to stay. The evening happy hour and breakfast, both with free food and drink is a welcoming effort to encourage socializing for their many different guests. The covered green garden was also a pleasant surprise. Good Value. more
