Liked: Staff & service
We reserved a garden king with fireplace and were placed in a dog friendly king looking at the parking lot. the room smelled like dog urine. No other rooms left for that night but were moved to another alternate room, double no fireplace.
Staff was friendly. The outdoor area/firepit is a nice place to gather and meet others. The Nordic Spa was not working so we could not enjoy that. Restaurant and Bar will open Jan 2025 we were told.
Newly renovated hotel, very comfortable and great location. Plenty of amenities which lead to a wonderful visit to the HIghlands. Will be back for sure.

Disliked: Staff & service
Disappointed.
The reason for my review:
Beware - they actively overbook the balcony rooms (happened to myself and at least one other group that I am aware of). And as your check in day is within the window of no cancel/refund you will be ushered to a standard room with no refund for the price difference.
Of note: We were offered an available “garden room” as a consolation, but upon opening the door we were taken aback with a strong urine smell.
This headache has required multiple trips to the front desk and now multiple calls to hotels.com customer service all with me still stuck with paying the higher room rate per night.
Other than overbooking:
The rooms do look like the pictures… but the rear of the hotel (which is where the garden and balcony rooms are located) overlook the parking lot and the common areas which provides limited privacy and car hood views unlike the pictures imply.
The staff was nice, but they are obviously working through staff, system, and process hiccups (issues) as a recently opened hotel.
The property could still use some attention to detail in the rooms. The beds are not comfortable, and they have old air conditioning units that are pretty loud. The decor is very sparse which may be intentional but the walls are very white.
It's a great upgrade from the previous property owner. A little bit further from town, but I walked and rode the property bikes each time I went to Highlands. The staff was very helpful. Very clean property. I'm glad I stayed there.
The hotel was amazing. The staff was friendly and accommodating. it was a plus that they are pet friendly. The ambience when you walked in was very welcoming. From the Twinkling lights outside and the Cozy fire pit, I am definitely coming back and would recommend this hotel to anyone.
