Would definitely rent a room here again!
I decided to stay in the area last minute and needed a cheap room. The Highland Inn is cozy and clean and I didn't have any gripes about the place. Granted I was out most of the night, only coming in to sleep and left at 5am to catch a flight. I stayed on a Thursday night and there were no loud noises to disturb me (thought the window a/c did its job of blocking out the street sounds). The staff was pleasant, the room and hotel was clean. I stayed in a corner room (336) and would recommend it. Though there is a smoking porch down the hall and you can smell the smoke in the hall, I did not smell it in my room. I also didn't use the shower so I can't attest to the plumbing :)

Old World Charm
This hotel reminded me of some I've stayed at in Europe. The hotel is old and a little rough around the edges if you are used to staying at modern business hotels in Atlanta but with that said, it is quite charming and clean. The neighborhood is fun --restaurants and a few shops that are worth checking out.

Not for everyone
It's a fine hotel for someone who wants low price and convenience to a hip area. It feels safe and special due to its age. However it is quite old and probably hasn't been remodeled since the 50's. It is reasonably clean, but the plumbing is old and (in our rooms) in poor condition, and the bath tiles were roughly repaired. There's a 5-inch step up into the bathroom. There are a great many coats of paint on the walls and trim. There was a noisy rock band in the next building and that sound carried fully into the room. (Depends on which side your room is on.) We had two rooms, the tv didn't work in one of them. No elevator! That's not a problem for most but is if you have trouble with stairs. Air conditioning comes from window units. The tv and cable box are mounted to a high point (that's fine) but the cables leads to an extension cord that remains suspended, leaving an ugly tangle in air. They could not provide a cot for an extra person in the room. Staff was friendly and somewhat apologetic about our room. My 80-year-old mom was with us and they realized that it was not the kind of room for her. They said they'd like to give us a better room but they were fully booked at the time. Bottom line: good for those who like a certain funkiness and don't mind a lack of conveniences and a certain amount of disrepair. Probably not what your parents want.
