I absolutely loved my stay at The Garrison Inn! The location is ideal, just a short stroll to the water and local shops, creating a perfect blend of accessibility and tranquility. The rooms are charming and recently updated, offering a comfortable atmosphere. The only downside was that I could have enjoyed a broader dining selection during breakfast. Overall, it's a delightful boutique experience that I would highly recommend!

My stay at The Garrison Inn Boutique hotel in Newburyport was a delightful experience! The rooms were beautifully spacious and impeccably clean, making for a cozy retreat. The friendly staff really made us feel at home, and the breakfast was a standout with a made-to-order menu that exceeded our expectations. The only drawbacks were that during busy times it might be challenging to find nearby parking, and I wish the tea room had been open for guests to enjoy. Overall, it felt like wonderful value for money!

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The quaint charm was appealing, but the place felt a bit careworn and overpriced for what it offered. While the location was excellent, and the bed was comfortable, some basic amenities like the towels and pillows were lacking. There were also issues with service responsiveness, but on the upside, the character of the hotel did stand out.

This hotel has a charming atmosphere with beautifully decorated rooms and a great location near shops and restaurants. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, particularly with the breakfast service from an unhelpful staff member. The lack of bathroom items and overpriced water also detracted from the overall value for money.
