Reserved the room with a company card but was told on arrival I had to pay in pesos. No accommodation was made for a late arrival, I had to leave the hotel that night since I arrived late and my ATM card wouldn't work in the nearby bank. I paid for a different hotel that would accept credit cards and then was forced to pay for two rooms in cash at Hotel Garant the next day even though we never stayed there!
Remember they photocopy your passport at the desk, so don't walk out on your bill! And prostitutes were sitting outside the hotel door trying to close the deal, the hotel manager acknowledged this as if it is normal tourism!
Beware this is a bare bones hotel that caters to sex tourism that to my surprise is legal and a big part of the Boca Chica experience. Our company will be visiting many times more, but never at Hotel Garant. We are sorry we have fail to meet your expectation and that you left due to credit cards issues.
We are in the process to change this very soon and we are sorry for the inconvenience and trouble it has cause you. It is also true that prostitution is a common appearance in Boca Chica, we do not encourage it but we are not fighting it outside the wall of the hotel. But for a client to bring a female friend inside the property we demand proper ID to protect theft and guaranteed age.
We are proud of our hotel and we are sorry we did not meet your expectation but we strive to do better. The hotel is ok for 2 or three days, but it doesnt really look like a hotel, more like a motel.
