The apt (suite) was really cute for the money. It was so close to oquinqut but not in the full traffic. Quiet room and stay. Only feel it needed a serious update from 1980s decore. But it was VERY clean. And the ocean view was not of a beach or ocean. But of the marshes the property over looks. I would stay here afain

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.
