Room was cutely decorated and comfortable. Loved the coffee/tea and snack area in the room. The Fellows tea kettle was perfect. Bed was low, but comfy. Parking was plentiful. The continental breakfast was bare bones and the banana bread was pretty bland. Husband did not have hot water both days but the desk person gave us a small refund for the inconvenience. Prices were quite high due to leaf season. Fire pit and lobby were cozy.

While I find nothing wrong with the hotel and the staff, I was quite disappointed as I was expecting a 4 Star experience and this is definately not a 4 Star hotel. It doesn't even meet the criteria for such. I the future I will not base my decisions on the Star rating. This disappointment certainly had a negative effect on my trip.

Definitely a wonderful find in the area . Rooms were pristine with great outdoor ambience. Just very likited dining options but Main St is about 5 mins walk. The morning coffee with Continental breakfast was a very nice touch. When hotels provide you little things like a free coffee and breakfast makes the hotel very inviting and home-y. That was a nice touch! Wish tours were offered by front desk and that they are more knowledgeable about the area. That would have been more ideal!

Old building, "budget" Highlands hotel

The hotel was pretty old. The windows were very dirty that it was hard to see outside. The shower handle fell off while I was showering, and there seems to be permanent staining on the tile grout. The "fruit and home-made banana bread breakfast" was only red apples with no butter for the banana bread (which did not seem home made and was pretty bland). There was no pricing for the mini bar. Automatic doors at front lobby entrance would have been nice for managing luggage cart by myself. With Highlands being a pretty popular wedding destination, I was surprised there was no where to hang my full-length dress, nor was there any iron to use to de-wrinkle. No glasses for water, only two styrofoam coffee cups. The rooms themselves were roomy very though.
