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.

This place was perfect and location was great to get around the area. Rooms were clean and extra touches in the rooms were nice. My only complaint is that we stayed in the newly built second building. Although it was quiet and rooms were tidy…we were travelling with my in-laws who are seniors. We were on the third floor floor and it is all stairs to get up there. It is not accessible any other way and that is an important consideration when booking your stay. The staff did not show us to our rooms and said go outside the main building walk to the side and then behind the building so that too could have been very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay at the Garrison. The location was convenient and the space was great for our family of 5. The Garrison is just a quick walk away from the main street with restaurants, tourist shops, and a grocery store. It is also not a far walk from the Cow Hill trail. The apartment was clean and cozy. There is a washer/dryer but you will have to provide your own laundry detergent. We left our container behind for the next visitors. Having some on-hand for travelers would be helpful so as to not have to purchase a large container. This was of no fault of the Garrison, but we did not have WiFi while we were there. I hope this issue has been rectified for those who might need WiFi for work and to stay connected to loved ones. Overall, we had a great stay and would rebook again with the Garrison.

The staff are the best. There was a problem with booking through a third party, and they were able to smooth it out. There were very thoughtful complimentary water/snacks in the rooms for us. They were under construction when I went and that made parking a little difficult, but we did get a spot. The breakfast was pretty fantastic. I couldn’t get over the view of the loch across the street. The hotel was very nice and we would definitely look this one up again!

Disliked: Amenities
The staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, I do not feel the hotel offered good value for money. At around £200 per night without breakfast included, I expected more. The lack of on-site parking was disappointing, especially as we had to pay to park around five minutes away and walk in the rain. There was also construction work taking place during our stay, which affected the experience. Another concern was the room carpet, which appeared to have dog hair on it. As someone with a dog allergy, this was uncomfortable and disappointing, particularly as I believe my allergy was mentioned when booking. I did not complain during my stay as I did not have the energy, but overall I do not feel the experience justified the price paid. The staff were fantastic, but improvements to parking, cleanliness, communication about building works and overall value for money would make a significant difference.

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!
