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 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.
