We love staying at the Garrison! The rooms are large, comfortable, quiet and clean. The pool was a little chilly but large and very clean. The breakfast was great - lots of options! We enjoyed the free afternoon popcorn and relaxing in the spacious lobby areas. The staff is cheerful, friendly and efficient. We’ve stayed here several times - it’s always our first choice when visiting Dover!
