  • Overall: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "Great experience; expect to climb a lot of stairs; but, that comes with the setting." — source Expedia

    "I would not recommend staying here due to the poor maintenance of the property." — source Expedia

    "The overall experience was good and the hotel was beautiful." — source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "I am someone who usually stays at The Ritz Carlton and The Four Seasons so when I booked my room at The Highlands Inn for $800 for the night I expected good service and a clean room." — source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "excellent service, worth the money." — source Hotels.com

    "The service is outstanding, the view really beautiful, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We were disappointed with the service at the restaurant." — source Travelocity

    "we recieved no compensation of any kind, just a "thanks for your patience" unimpressed with the service." — source Expedia

  • Location: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "It was my experience that you must ask the checkin clerk to show you the location of your room." — source Hotels.com

    "When we returned from dinner, however, a mysterious, terrible smell had developed in our bathroom area." — source Expedia

  • Room: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Most importantly the rooms floors have little insulation and as a result are very noisy even though newly carpeted." — source Hotels.com

    "In fact, it's almost better that way, because you can take advantage of the in-room wood burning fireplaces to make your stay as snuggly as can be." — source Travelocity
