room was okay but there was a lot of noise from adjoining rooms so you can hear through walls easily and a carpenter was allowed to work early Monday morning which was unpleasant. staff was not very accomodating or friendly. the parking was very tight for vehicles which made it feel constrained

10 years and counting!

My husband and I went for a 3 night stay for our anniversary. We have been here before, we rent one of their cottages every summer for 10 years. This stay, we reserved a hotel room. Exceptional! Room had kitchenette, sitting room, bath & king size bed. Very clean, well stocked toiletries & towels, smelled normal, not over perfumed to cover smell. This is coming from a gal that brings her own cleaning supplies! I truly enjoyed the linen, trash & coffee replacement. Left outside room on chair, came back from beach with fresh towels, etc! Always a joyful experience!

The location is close to numerous activities. From the beach nearly around the corner to dining options within walking distance. Rooms were fairly clean and comfortable. Service was great. Will stay there again.

Very clean, quaint, in a nice, scenic area. Kinf of a throwback to 1960s vacation resort-style motels. My wife is quite picky with high expectations for a resort. But she liked The Garrison bery much.

It is not a very good property. The condition of the rooms look like a prison. It is definitely not a 9 rating (which is what Expedia indicates).

This place was incredibly relaxing, and very well kept! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend the Garrison to anyone looking for a nice easy going, clean place to bring the family for a few days. Zero chaos, incredible views of the ocean/inlet, nicely landscaped, gas, groceries, pharmacy, mini golf, fun park, and all kinds of other stuff within walking distance... We travel for work and stay in a lot of places and this is by far our new favorite place to unwind! 10/10
