This property exceeded my expectations. My room was practically conjured up from my mountain getaway dreams, a rustic mid-century studio apartment perfectly appointed. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and I also enjoyed the cozy privacy I was after. Must give serious notes to the restaurant on-site, it is outrageously vibey and well-crafted in every way. I rarely write reviews and knew upon arrival that I would need to submit a rave approval.

To stay in Highlands for mountain views, this is the place. Its a 9 minute drive to downtown . Ubers are scarce. The Hotel is retro and in great shape, rooms are large and nice. Staff, very nice and helpful. The only downside, the bar is not good with poor service. The restaurant is average and expensive so you need to go to town . They are missing out on revenue with better restaurant.
and bar.
