The Garrison

The Garrison

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a great location! It’s got a clean, modern feel. Parking costs £10 a day. The only issue we had was the shower design. Half of the shower in our room was covered with glass, but with no door, the bathroom floods every time. Feels like it could be fixed with a simple addition of a shower door."

"This hotel was fine for our two-night stay, but it's definitely dated. You can tell the place hasn't been updated in quite a while, and it shows throughout the room. The bathroom had some mold, which was disappointing to see. The photos online make it look nicer than it really is, so go in with lowered expectations. For a quick stay it was manageable, but for the price we paid, it just wasn't worth it. With some updates, this place could be a much better value. As it stands, I'd look at other options before booking here again."

"Nice comfortable and clean overnight stay. If you have any need for internet don't come here. Otherwise we had a large comfortable room with a large bath. The bed was super firm and old but we were very tired. The burger food truck just next door is awesome. As mentioned the internet is super slow whether in the lobby or room. There is no lift so be prepared to carry bags up. Also safety note: if you plan to be driving to/from Glasgow at night (or even in daylight) be super careful. Many deer just along the roadway and we saw at least 4 dead road kill driving in the early morning to Glasgow."
