The Skyline Lodge

The Skyline Lodge

8/10 Good
"PROS: The hotel is very peaceful as it is located in the middle of the mountain. The rooms are clean, nice and comfortable. Employees are nice as well. CONS: the hotel only has two floors. We stayed on the first floor and we could hear the footsteps of the people staying above us because the walls and floors are extremely thin. Also, there is no elevator so take this into consideration if you can’t lift your luggage up and down the stairs."

"Far and away the nicest Hampton Inn I have ever been in. Being close to the Highlands is definitely a plus the room was very nice and was equipped with a microwave and as a refrigerator. Modern design with a very nice bathroom. They have a regular elaborate morning breakfast that I think goes till 10 but I did not partake 24 hour coffee station and small things of that nature are helpful. It’s a very nice property and you don’t feel like you’re at a chain hotel."
