Rooms were very clean. Staff was friendly, professional, and ready to go “the extra mile” to contribute to giving the guests a pleasant and satisfying experience. My only issue was that I was never told the indoor pool had NO WATER IN IT! We were looking forward to swimming and if I had known about the unusable pool, I’d have found a different place with a pool that has water in it. Is it Expedia’s or The Garrison Hotel’s responsibility to tell a guest about the pool (almost literally), being like what “Granny” from The Beverly Hillbillies calls “the ceeeement pond”!

I’ve stayed at this place a few times and usually it’s ok. This time was a little different. Our room was ok but the bathroom was not clean. The drain in the shower was disgusting and there was mold in the shower. The shower was so gross. We didn’t even use it.

Very pleasant stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful, check-in and check-out were both very smooth, and the complimentary breakfast was ample and well-stocked. Room was clean -- the only issue was a towel rack that was poorly installed and fell off the wall during our stay. Location is perfect if you need to be in Dover, Rochester, or event Portsmouth (about a 10-15 minute drive). No frills, but very warm and welcoming.
