The cleanliness and fragrance of the premises were notable. Outside of business hours, staff can be reached by phone. Guest have autonomy to come and go as please. Parking was difficult, street parking only, no parking lot for the hotel itself. The location and its close proximity to the Highlands amenities made this stay enjoyable.
