Nice place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Garrison. The property is beautiful and it's in a good location. My daughter loved the pool and she said it was clean and warm. There's a wonderful restaurant across the street.

Amazing location for everything you want to do in the wells area. The only downfall are the beds themselves, we woke up in a lot of pain.

Very clean, quaint, in a nice, scenic area. Kinf of a throwback to 1960s vacation resort-style motels. My wife is quite picky with high expectations for a resort. But she liked The Garrison bery much.

Will definitely stay again!
My husband and I went for a quick overnight getaway, we immediately regretted only being there for a night. We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. So clean, kitchen has dishes and utensils already there and a dishwasher. The view when you step outside is gorgeous!! We will definitely be staying again and even said we want to do a week for vacation possibly next year and this is where we’ll stay! There’s restaurants galore and the famous Congdon’s Donuts & Scoop Deck right across the street and a grocery store around the corner and it’s a 5 minute drive to the beach. Picture is the view when you step out, I didn’t take any pics of the room, just video which I can’t do on here but TRUST me!
