A super groovy 70's/80's vibe. They owned their space and magnified it well.
Pool and pool area were fantastic. Family friendly and fun for adults. Staff were excellent. We stayed on NYE, and all staff were helpful and working hard. Manager helped to squeegee pool deck, get a life jacket for young child, and anything else that needed to be done. Excellent!!
Cozy fun place with a very attentive staff. Worth a visit if you’re in town or driving through. Highly recommend.
Pool was great and staff were responsive, friendly, and capable.
Stayed one night on a road trip. It would be a fun stop if you have kids. Huge indoor pool area. Swimming ends at 10 pm and the adults have the area until midnight. If you are traveling and need to sleep, I would recommend you request an outer room. The rooms next to the pool have very poor sound insulation and are very loud. Outer rooms are much quieter and only have the noise from the freeway. The front desk folks are very nice. Didn't get a chance to try the menu, but the folks int he pool area were eating and having a good time.
Decor was awesome and the staff and service was top notch. However, my room floor was really dirty and sticky and the lack of insulation and crack under the door meant you heard everything so it was hard to sleep
The Highlander is extremely welcoming and clean. It is directly off I-80 but no highway noice. I would highly recommend staying here. The decor is beautiful and fun. Definitely worth a visit or two
The hotel is beautiful and very unique. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for your review & feedback. The courtyard and parking view rooms are less subseptable for noise from the pool area. We are proudn to boast the largest indoor hotel pool in Eastern Iowa and finally seeing families / travelers after a long 9 months+ with virtually no business. We appreciate your comments about our hard working staff and look forward to your return visit. Thank you again - Stay safe.
