Cute

I think this hotel is a great deal split between two people or more. It's a really old hotel, very quaint, with a super friendly staff. Nothing more than what you need, good breakfast muffins and coffee. Free parking is great, but if you have a large SUV it is going to be a really tight fit in the parking lot. I love the walking distance to Little Five Points and all the great shops and venues. Variety Playhouse about a 8 minute walk, not bad at all.

Very nice historical hotel!

I visited Atlanta for 2 days. I was really impressed! Yes, it is an old hotel, but you are still getting a great stay for what you are paying! You have easy access to the nightlife downtown, malls, etc. In the words of Bob Barker, I would stay here again, "If the price is right!"

It's ok

I booked this hotel because it was one of the cheaper ones and it was close to downtown. The hotel is in a very pleasant neighborhood. But it's so old. It feels like I'm the 1920's. I wouldn't stay here again because its so old fashioned. But staff was really nice but the rooms are extremely small !!!! If your looking for a cheap place to stay this is it!

old very outdated

You can walk down the halls and see in all the rooms. Anyone could break the door down. I felt extremely nervious and left early. I would NEVER stay there again. Note at the front that it's common for cars to be broken into. I heard multiple engaging in ---. The bed spreads, pictures, and micrwave was old and looked like something from "Good Will".

Cute Little Place Near Downtown

The Highland Inn was cute and had a vinatge, artsy feel. The rooms are clean. It was a good bargain and close to downtown. It's not a chain, so you miss out on some ammenities, but it has character. You get what you pay for. The price was really good for the location. The only negative was that the mattress in my room was extremely uncomfortable. It was very springy and cheap.

Good bang for your buck

The Highland Inn gives you the best value for your money. Its located in a good area, two blocks away from the local buses, and within walking distance of multiple restaurants. A good bargain!

"Historic"...REALLY????

If you're looking for the ambiance of a historic Inn, this is not it. I have NO idea what makes this historic except all the Alphonse Mucha 1970's framed posters.The desk staff tried to charge a $10.00 "surcharge" for a second person in the room, even though the [...] receipt clearly showed the reservation being made for two people. When asked for a second key he responded "IF we have one." Two of three exchanges with the front desk were rude and confrontational. HAVE YOUR [...]CONFIRMATION PRINTED AND AVAILABLE.The bathroom doorknob fell off in my hand. The bathroom on a cruise ship is bigger, but this WAS the lowest priced room. Maybe the others are larger.The room door lock is BASIC at best.Dead bugs in the overhead light fixture cast a "special" light on the room.The location was convenient and the adjoining restaurant was very good (even if they shared parking and we had to circle the lot till someone left for a parking spot.)The price was the lowest in-town location and the room was clean. Spartan, but clean.These reservation were made at the last minute and on a budget. Next time I either plan ahead or stay home. If I HAD to go and this was the best I could afford...I'd go, knowing it has issues.
