GEORGE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property only a few minutes from downtown Highlands. This historical property was refurbished with mid century design furnishings. The Oak Steakhouse is outstanding….well worth the splurge! The only small criticism is the carpets need cleaning and the bath amenities need checking before someone occupies a room. We will return!!!!!
Joann, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was great. The restaurant is very nice but there is not a breakfast option during the week. They do have a few things you can grab in the check in area. Our room was missing soap and the bathroom was small but overall updated and very nice. The building is very old so a lot of steps, not very ADA friendly. Beautiful area.
