I had a great staying experience at the Highland Inn, especially for a quick getaway. The location was perfect, with easy access to restaurants and shops. The charm of the place has a quirky vibe, but it's definitely dated and could use some upgrades. Overall, I felt the value for money was solid, though the beds weren't the most comfortable.

The room was clean and came with a mini fridge, a desk, and a comfy queen bed, perfect size for my wife and me. While the furnishings were a bit old, we did get a good night's sleep without much noise.

Service

The management seemed friendly overall, but I did catch the night check-in guy acting pretty indifferent. It was late, so I get it, but a warmer welcome would have been nice.

My stay at Highland Inn was a mixed experience. The cozy charm and unique character drew me in, but I encountered some drawbacks that detracted from my overall impression. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants nearby, but the age of the building showed in certain areas and the amenities were quite basic. Overall, it has potential but could use some improvements. 😺🏨

Highland Inn offers a quirky charm that makes for a decent stay, though it's not without its quirks. The location is a major highlight, with plenty of restaurants and amenities nearby. However, being an older building, I encountered some unique challenges like a tricky bathroom and a need for patience with hot water. Overall, it’s a good value for a cozy stay in a vibrant area.

My stay at Highland Inn was quite the experience, with its quirky charm and unique character. I loved the location, which was close to a variety of great restaurants and just a short distance from downtown Atlanta. However, the room left a bit to be desired in terms of comfort and amenities, especially with the air conditioning noise affecting my sleep. Overall, it's a decent spot for those looking for local flair, though I would recommend setting expectations accordingly.
