“The Garrison Cells offers an interesting proposition in Fort William: a themed stay close to both the High Street and transport links. While the 'cell' rooms can be compact, they suit short stays, and the inclusive tea and coffee are a welcome touch. I think its quirky style and central location will appeal to those seeking something different.”
