Altitudes At Skyline Lodge - HIGHLANDS

This could have been a horrible experience turned around by great staff. Special shout out to Trinity for being amazing. First this place is more like a motel so definitely does not justify the price. I checked into a room on level 1 which appeared damp including the sheets. The housekeeping staff was quick to replace the sheets but the room in general had a smell which she couldn’t do anything about. Come Trinity she checked me into a level 2 room which was perfect. All rooms look updated which is a plus. Their Steakhouse is definitely worth a visit great good, great service!

The only downside to our stay was the room. We were in room 118, which felt more like a basement-level hotel room. While it had windows and a nice balcony, the room was quite damp and unfortunately had some flies. It definitely needed a dehumidifier. Aside from that, it was comfortable and clean, with a very nice bathroom. However, an additional lamp and a vanity mirror above the desk would have been helpful. If you have difficulty navigating uneven ground or require a walking aid, I highly recommend requesting an upper-level room. In the wing we were in, getting around felt like a mountain trek! Overall, I’m unlikely to stay here again.

The check in girl had us lugging our luggage to two different rooms in two different buildings before we got to the correct one. They did help us carry it. Recently redone, they did a good job of keeping the feel of the place. The shower was awful and the second handheld wand that worked well was mounted waist high. Beds very comfortable and they had a nice handheld steamer in the room which we used. Unfortunately, they don’t put the pet friendly rooms in the separate building and our neighbors left their dogs alone in the room evening and morning, and they woke us up earlier than we would have liked. I complained at checkout and got the idea that the rules say not to leave the dogs in the room. It’s away from downtown with nice outdoor areas and views. Would give it another try.

Our room was very lovely and large with a private balcony/porch where we enjoyed afternoon visits. Very well updated baths but in keeping with mid-century feel. We loved every bit of our stay! Downtown Highlands and hiking are just minutes away.

I needed a getaway for two nights to get some work done. I'm glad I spotted the Skyline Lodge. This inn is an updated motor lodge up in the mountains near Highlands (about a 10 minute drive away. One of the best features is the pavilion a wide covered, open air structure. I worked there each day. Although it rained some of the time, I was sheltered. Nice and cool. The Oak Steakhouse was great. Very good service and food. This is definitely a place the local folks come to for fine dining. I would have liked included full service breakfast as opposed to picking up coffee and a pastry in the lobby.
