Inconvenient for desk work!

There was no chair to sit down and do any work. Also, shower bring so open created a very wet did slippery floor. Very convenient location.

Great Highlands location with a few hiccups

Great location within walking distance to town and many restaurants. Front desk has a young staff & maybe not fully trained or engaged. When arriving at 5pm (with a 4pm check-in) was told our room was not ready yet. When pushed offered the 1st room off the lobby by the elevator & bathrooms. When that was declined, offered a more accepting location down the hall. Was offered no information about the hotel’s amenities or the room deposit that would be refunded at the end of the stay. Our room key stopped working on our last day & took 4 return visits to the front desk to finally receive keys that did work. The room was comfortable & housekeeping did a nice job keeping the room clean & stacked with towels. Morning coffee available early at 6am was good. Be prepared for rain as this area is located in a rainforest.

The check in process was a disaster. Our room was not ready even an hour past check in time. There seemed to be a shortage of trained staff members. We had reserved a king balcony room, which we never saw. We were first given a queen room after 5 pm. After making our dissatisfaction known we were then given a king garden room. THERE ARE NO CLOSETS IN THE ROOMS.

Overall, our stay was excellent at this property. A couple points first the clientele is primarily seniors. Somebody in their infinite wisdom decided to go with beds that are low to the ground. Yes they are comfortable, but old people would not be able to get out of these beds easily. That purchase was a strategic mistake by management. Additionally. Check-in was scheduled for 4 PM on Sunday 7/27. The Front Desk was clearly not prepared to check people in at that time.

Garden room

King bed was very comfortable. We had the Garden patio room, loved it had entrance from outside, BUT the tree hedges blocked any view. A flower box would have been much better
