Good time but one sour note you need to know about

My wife and I enjoyed our stay overall, staff very helpful providing any amenities, lovely garden patio, great location on Main St. Only real sour note was at the very end of our trip...all info says complementary breakfast provided as part of the price we paid for room but when we arrived for breakfast we were notified that we had to pay for breakfast because we went thru hotels.com...staff should have told us that...

Underwhelmed at The Highlands Inn

The Inn itself is charming. The room needs to be updated. The TV was terrible (small , with a very fuzzy picture). The carpet was dated and just plain ugly. The pillows seemed old and out of shape. The bathroom amenities were minimal at best, shampoo and lotion only. There was a USB port by the bed which was nice. It was quiet and the location can't be beat.

They would not accept our reservation thru Expedia because we have a dog with us. Dog owners can only book directly thru the owners. They did helpus find a place to stay which was awesome.

Disappointed. No wifi. Other problems.

Disappointing. First the good:the staff was generally welcoming and they were helpful with local recommendations. Our room was clean and housekeeping responded to our needs. Bed was comfortable. Hotel is very old and some would say quaint. Location is on Main Street, close to restaurants and the Ugly Dog pub (best bar in town). The bad. The location has a negative - parking. The "free" parking is street parking - the hotel doesn't have a dedicated lot. The town is overrun during the day and evening, and so parking was difficult for us. The water pressure in the shower was terrible - it went from weak to zero back to weak - and so showering wasn't happy. Room was extremely small. Now the ugly: their wifi simply doesn't work. The front desk said it doesn't work in town, but just five doors down at Buck's coffee house the wifi worked fine. Also I was told by a guest at the Old Edwards Inn (amazing place) that their wifi worked fine. So don't stay here if you need to use the internet. Also, the A/C didn't work properly - the fan speed was only high - the low and medium settings didn't work, and so we were up several times a night fiddling with the AC. Also a note, the free breakfast is NOT included when a room is booked on Hotels.com. We won't stay here again.
