My husband and I stayed in Newburyport for the first time over our birthday weekend and we had such a lovely stay at the Garrison. The hotel was so beautiful, and the location was so so walkable and perfect! The breakfast was made to order, which was a treat. Overall we had a fabulous time at the Garrison in Newburyport!
We loved our stay at the Garrison hotel. The location cannot be beat! Loved the historic nature of the inn. Staff were pleasant and the made-to-order breakfast was a real bonus. Facility was clean. The Inn fell short of a five star rating for two reasons - one is an easier fix than the other. The bed in our room was uncomfortable the first night, but in subsequent nights, our backs, neck and shoulders began to ache and getting a decent sleep was elusive. The mattress really needs to be replaced. (Room 307.) The other more minor inconvenience was the towels. The bath towels are so small you cannot easily wrap them around yourself. They do provide robes, but larger bath towels seems like a reasonable enhancement for a boutique hotel. We would love to return and if we do, we'll ask for a room with a newer mattress. Thanks to the staff for a very nice stay.
