Positive: Style. It had a great vibe to it. The bar was clean and classy even being in the same area as the arcade, nice to see the pool tables in a dry area. So often hotels will put a pool table in the same area as the pool. Love love love the pool, disappointed the hot tub was closed for repairs.
Negative: The front of the building could use some updating and landscaping. I liked everything about the Decor besides the art. The canvas’ didn’t really fit the rest of the style. The windows to the balcony look great. But could use full coverage for night time. The pull down shades leave light in and I prefer pitch black. I woke up at 4 am thinking it was closer to 6 until I realized it was light not the sun.
Summary: Excellent. A nice building doesn’t give you an experience that comes from excellent staff which The Highlander absolutel

Positive: I enjoy everything, friendly staff, especially Mich, breakfast was good, with multiple options. Nice view from my room, I wish I had time to jump into the swimming pool, and more likely, the quietness of the whole area, I have been in different hotels in the USA, I know what I experienced at Highlander. Bref, I will go again and I will recommend anyone else. KEEP THE GOOD JOB
Negative: Inform guests about the free city bus to Iowa downtown. The string that holds the key for the room, hard to remove hahah
Summary: A cool place to go relax
