As the error says, you can't use the + operator to combine a string with a time value.

This answer[^] on StackExchange has the solution:

SQL

SELECT 
    COUNT(*) 
FROM 
    Reservations R
    INNER JOIN StudentReservations S 
    ON R.ReservationID=S.ReservationID
WHERE 
    DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, '19000101', R.ReservationDate), CAST(R.ReservationTime As datetime2(7))) < GETDATE()
And 
    s.UserID = 12
;
