We loved our stay at the Garrison. We had a suite, which meant we had a refrigerator, microwave, and kitchen table at which to relax. Bed was great. Room was spacious. Staff were helpful with requests and taxis. It’s located right in town so it’s easy to walk to restaurants and shops. They let guests usetheir dining room space for takeout food from the nearby restaurants. All very helpful for our travels.

Staff was excellent however the hotel was very noisy - doors slamming - we could hear stomping through the ceiling - the mattress on the pullout was thin and very uncomfortable- advertised as 2 queen beds not 1 bed and 1 pullout - the shower was complicated and unpredictable in temperature control

8/10 Very good

Really enjoyed our stay at the Garrison! Check-in was extremely easy. The friendly woman at reception helped me right away, I had read reviews about a difficult kiosk system, but that was not my experience. Hotel was clean. Beds, linens and towels were all really nice. Our booking didn’t include breakfast so unsure about that. Staff was very helpful. Parking was tight but we always found a spot in back. Location can’t be beat. Only complaint is the rooms are very very small. Challengingly small. We live in NYC and are used to tight spaces, but this was extreme. We managed just fine though and all things considered, we would definitely book again!

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.
