The breakfast area and bar were closed, huge renovation going on. They did send a message to say about the renovations but I wasn't aware it was so extensive and there would be no breakfast or bar area as this wasn't in the email.

Advertised as 4 Star don’t believe it no wardrobe just 4 hangers attached to a pipe. When booked no mention of the bar and restaurant being closed. Breakfast in a bag the bananas were black think they had become very cold other stuff only just acceptable.Definitely will not stay again. Only redeeming factor was the staff who were pleasant.

We booked to stay in a suite which was a great choice. Beautiful, newly renovated and well appointed.
The bed was comfortable, lovely large shower with toiletries and fluffy towels, a neat kitchenette with fridge coffee machine kettle and microwave also fully stocked with plates and cutlery.
The restaurant was closed due to renovations but breakfast was served to our room.
With booking a suite we had a dining area and lounge which made all the difference.
It would be easy to spend a week here and it not cost too much with having all the facilities.
Highly recommend staying!

We enjoyed our stay at the Garrison. The only issue was construction is happening onsite and the parking was very limited. Otherwise a good location for going into Fort William
