There were small blood stains on my sheets. There was some sort of bug in the shower. This was on the right side of the property where there are smaller rooms. Very outdated. Some of our family stayed in the two story building (for $10 more) and it was very nice and no complaints.

This was my third stay at the Garrison - I obviously love it. I am always amazed by a friendly greeting and the cleanliness of all areas of the hotel's grounds. Thanks for all that you do to keep us comfortable and safe. Your suggestions for the area are always helpful too.

Wonderful check in/ check out. Bed was super comfortable & the room was huge although they could be updated a bit. Super convenient as I made my way up the coast of Maine. Directly across the street you’ll find a food truck court with many selections & picnic tables for lunch and dinner. For breakfast… you can’t beat the donuts and the beach is super close for a full day of fun.

Clean, no frills accommodations
My daughter and I stayed at The Garrison for two nights. The accommodations were good- room was clean, beds were not very comfortable with dip in mattress and paper thin pillows. Could definitely use updating but for no frills it served its purpose. There is no in room service. Clean towels, soap, etc. is left outside the room if requested. Outside grounds are well maintained and pool area was clean. Would stay again but probably bring pillows.

This place was very convenient and offered a lovely view out onto the ocean. We only stayed a night so we did not use the pool, but it was very inviting. The room was spacious, clean and nicely appointed. The beds were too soft but the pillows were comfy.
