6/10 Good

The night shift staff wasn't too great. Check out is 10am and they were giving us a difficult time about extending an extra hour. Said manager would call us back but never did. There were some flies in the room, they came to spray with natural spray, but still wasn't as accommodating Disappointed. The room itself was beautiful and the view was so nice.

Chapel Gone, but Hospitality Endures

We were married at Highlands Inn 60 years ago, thus the reason for this return. It was a most gracious and gratifying reunion. We left as excited and as happy as we did after our wedding in the chapel and reception in the room now known as Sunset Lounge. Accommodations were superb, eclipsed only by the hospitality of positively everyone with whom we dealt. Wish we had planned to stay longer.
