Friendly staff, small & warm room and good breakfast
Stayed at apartment which was clean and with great views, great to have a washer and dryer combo, 5 minute walk to shopping and restaurants. Would stay again!
The rooms were nice if a bit small. The breakfast was the best that we had of all of our hotels in Scotland. You get to order off a menu and it was delicious and very well-made.
The room was comfortable and easy to access in the first floor. The location was convenient as we were only here for 2 nights. Thebon-aite restaurant was convenient for our breakfast prior to checkout.
Room a little small but enough for a few nights stay, really comfy bed, breakfast options were amazing and very comfy breakfast area, staff were really helpful and it’s in a great location
The Garrison is a well kept Inn. Our room was pretty small but was comfortable. Not the cheapest place, but in a small town with limited choices and alot of tourists moving through daily it served its purpose.
Great location and very central to town. Parking was confusing as they have a small lot out back and some dedicated parking in the back with little signage.
The check in process was a little painful, but the room was updated, clean, and included everything we needed. Breakfast was also good, but definitely give yourself at least a hour to order and eat. There are a lot of doors in this hotel which just made it hard to navigate with luggage, but not a dealbreaker by any means.
Would recommend staying here!

It is exactly what you look for in a budget hotel option but I do wish it was a little bit less expensive given the offering. It isn't overly nice or updated but it is generally clean and in a great location for walking to things downtown.
Room was clean. Breakfast was great. Staff very helpful. The only negative was on going construction

There were not enough fans on property to accommodate all of the rooms, which is unfortunate and extremely uncomfortable on a warm evening. The windows were open to try and let cool air in which brought bugs into the room. Otherwise, the rooms were generally clean and most of the staff were friendly. Breakfast was ok. If you’re a coffee lover, go elsewhere. The town is quite charming as well.
