Highlander Mountain House
I enjoyed my stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is challenging and I had to park offsite a couple of times. Food in the restaurant was good, but overpriced with small portions. Seating was uncomfortable. I would consider returning to stay, but dine elsewhere.

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 ...
