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

First, our hostess was very friendly. Room was clean but quite dated. Little sparse ...a spare blanket or two would have been welcome (wouldnt have needed heater). Found it odd to ne require to do our dishes or face a fee. Never have seen that before. Overall, yes we would probably stay again. It was a bonus that they are one of very few hotels in the area that are willing to allow a second vehicle per room. Very convenient.

We would return.

Our room was very comfortable and it we had chosen to prepare our own meals, there was adequate facilities to do so. We felt welcome and were offered daily towel exchanges if wanted. The view over the salt water marsh towards the beach was great, especially at sunrise. It appears to be a very well run business.

Basic 1970’s era motel

I was a bit surprised that this is essentially a 1970’s era motel. Very basic rooms. No housekeeping but you can get daily towel exchange. Must wash your own dishes when leaving or you will be fined (no dishwasher - I washed my dishes and utensils before using them just in case previous guests didn’t). Not close to the beach, there is a swamp between the beach and the motel. Bed and pillows were not very comfortable, just ordinary.
