The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff did a great job making us feel welcomed and making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. It was a short walk to a great selection of restaurants and bars (pubs). We had a great stay at this hotel.
Garrison apartments were lovely! Clean, great view and everything seemed new! Love laundry availability!! Staff very friendly. Check in was super easy. Recommend for your visit to Fort William
Room was excellent. New, clean and spacious. Stair access to suites could be an issue for large suitcases but no issues with carry on luggage used for our road trip.
We LOOOOVEEED the heated floors in the bathroom!!! The hotel was at the shopping center, so it was convenient and we had an abundant selection of restaurants and stores to shop in. The room was clean and comfortable.
Like the boutique hotels popular in New York now. Stylish, very clean, smallish rooms in a good location. Nice hotel for the price. Staff all very upbeat and nice.
Nice stay at a simple, clean hotel with a cool theme. The room was a bit tight for two, but very quiet at night. Windows opened wide for fresh air which was nice.

Receptionist and staff were friendly and supportive. Overall, was expecting a nicer quality hotel, rooms were very small and not as clean as others
The hotel was great but we weren't used to such narrow parking spaces, so it took a while to park. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and shopping.
Only given 3 stars for breakfast because we never had it and i was unable to select anything else. Very nice hotel clean and restful. Defo recommend and would stay again. Staff nice and helpful so very good. One observation is the shower cubicle is really dark inside and a child i think would not like it. Thats the only downside
Good location. And room was decent size although sink in bathroom was the tiniest sink I’ve ever seen. Overall quiet but they do alllow dogs and this poor little dog was whining next to our room. You could hear anyone opening and closing doors. I would give this a 4/5 stars for location.
