    Come visit, take a step back in time and immerse youself in a comfortable, historic experience, we're sure you won't want to go home! Located in the breathtaking Hudson Valley, on the Western bank of the Hudson River near the Bear Mountain Bridge, this historic colonial was once the home of Revolutionary War Patriots Isaac Garrison and Captain Molly Corbin. Built in 1751, much of the original features are still intact. We are located 2 mi. South of West Point's Thayer Gate, only 45 minutes North of NYC, close to the train and Palisades Parkway.

    My wife and I were in town for a West Point reunion in October 2011. We have stayed in several B&Bs in the area and really enjoyed them in the past. The website describes a nice typical B&B. Beware...the Garrison House is just horrible. Upon arrival they had no record of our reservation. The heat was not on, several electrical circuits did not work, the bathroom was filthy, the plaster ceiling in the kitchen has fallen in from prior storms, the bedroom smelled strongly of mold and the final straw for us was...no hot water in the bathroom. The Innkeeper was not home and the two managers would not answer their cell phones.

    I would not recommend.

    For the price, I would not recommend staying at The Garrison House. The room I stayed in was not particularly clean or nice looking. Also, the breakfast served in the morning consisted of Walmart baked goods, instant oatmeal, and fruit cups. It's way more expensive than it should be.

    The bathroom was dirty

    There was hair and dried makeup in the bathroom sink. The continental breakfast for 3 people consisted of 2 day old rolls, 3 cups of coffee and a spotted banana. I was very disappointed in this B and B

    Innkeeper Response
    Mr. McGuinness- Let me first state that you did not mention in your review that you were given a 20% discount on your rooms. Secondly, the bathroom is a shared bath. I realize that the rooms that you reserved should have been the only ones that used that bathroom, however, if at some point another guest used your bathroom that is impossible to police. In addressing your concern about breakfast, there is indeed dry cereal put out along with rolls, pastries and fresh fruit on the breakfront and table, however there is also yogurt, cottage cheese, orange and tomato juice as well as water in the refrigerator so those items remain chilled and don't spoil. In this warmer weather bananas tend to "spot" rather quickly. As for coffee, when there are only a few guests we do not make an entire 12 cup pot, but have the coffee readily visible in the refrigerator next to the milk and yogurt so that in the event a guest wants more coffee, they are welcome to help themselves. It is truly unfortunate that you have skipped around to every site you can think of to post negative comments anonymously about our facility (this being the third one I have seen this week)but you did not address your concerns to either myself or the owner at the time of your stay so that your concerns could have been addressed at that time.

    We were extremely dissapointed with our stay. We have stayed in B & B's for 20 years now and this was the worst stay ever. There was no one around for breakfast, dry cereal was on the table as were old pastries that were from a box already opened and 1/2 gone. We would never stay here again!

    Convenient to West Point

    Historic home, not a luxury hotel. Shared baths, small rooms, exactly as stated on website. Cereal, fruit and breads for breakfast. Less than 10 minutes to West Point's Thayer Gate.
