Very clean great location helpful staff
Limited parking made it lose a star
Staff were very welcoming! The hotel was very clean, nice decor. A good selection of complimentary snacks were in the room. There was renovations going on but this did not have a negative impact on the stay. I would definitely stay here again.
Lovely clean spacious room with good facilities & a comfortable bed. The staff were fantastic & kindly treated us to a bottle of prosecco for my wife's birthday as a surprise treat.
Well located and close to the high Street. The views were lovely

The room was comfortable. The staff were courteous and welcoming. It was disappointing that there wasn’t a cooked breakfast on offer but understandable as the refurbishment is ongoing.
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff did a great job making us feel welcomed and making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. It was a short walk to a great selection of restaurants and bars (pubs). We had a great stay at this hotel.

One of the best breakfast experiences I have had - and I stay away a lot!
The amount of buildings work and its impact on services was not clear . The hotel is fairly well appointed and help was fine but we would not have booked this site had we fully understood the disruption
Garrison apartments were lovely! Clean, great view and everything seemed new! Love laundry availability!! Staff very friendly. Check in was super easy. Recommend for your visit to Fort William
The breakfast area and bar were closed, huge renovation going on. They did send a message to say about the renovations but I wasn't aware it was so extensive and there would be no breakfast or bar area as this wasn't in the email.
Conveniently located, good rooms, friendly staff, great breakfast

We booked to stay in a suite which was a great choice. Beautiful, newly renovated and well appointed.
The bed was comfortable, lovely large shower with toiletries and fluffy towels, a neat kitchenette with fridge coffee machine kettle and microwave also fully stocked with plates and cutlery.
The restaurant was closed due to renovations but breakfast was served to our room.
With booking a suite we had a dining area and lounge which made all the difference.
It would be easy to spend a week here and it not cost too much with having all the facilities.
Highly recommend staying!
