The apartments are high up a hill with great view of Loch Linnhe. The apt kitchen was well equipped and included a washer dryer. Excellent dining options are a short walk, as are interesting and useful stores. Fort William is central to many of the things the Highlands has to offer.

A wonderful stay!

A Wonderful Stay! This hotel was great. It’s located at the end of the main drag, which means when you arrive by train or bus, you get to enjoy a scenic walk through the charming town. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was clean and comfortable.

Bar available at night, breakfast in morning. Nice decor and clean . Bathroom hook and towel rack and robes. We had 2 suitcases and stored them under the bed- no space otherwise. No place in shower for personal item. Shower has no lip so you are asked to place mat near door to prevent flooding the carpet . We missed our first of 3 nights due to train service cancellation. No discount, refund or sympathy..

Reception was dismissive and rude. Floors were dirty in room. Room was cramped and hot. Only one 8 inch fan was provided. Bed was hard. Shower wss a joke. Only the restaurant service was friendly and accommodating. Otherwise this was not as advertised.

We enjoyed staying at the Garrison. The staff were outstanding and breakfast was delicious and free! They had free snacks in the room and in the evening at the bar. I highly recommend. The only neg was the housekeeping put the clean towels they were going to put into the rooms onto the floor outside of the rooms! But did I die? Nope! I dried off on one of the towels and kept on traveling! I would definitely stay here again. Walk to dinner , overlooking the waterfront, superb friendly staff and free snacks.
