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.

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.
